Does anyone know willbj3 or have a contact phone # for him?

He owes me a dash, center console, instrument pod, glovebox door, and a couple of A-pillars, and I've been unable to get a hold of him since July 15th via PM or e-mail.

Any help from this membership would be appreciated. Thanks.

He posts on here often.
I was interested in buying some items off him but he didn't take paypal, only personal cheques.

I had a lot of communication with him for the first few weeks, and he did actually send me the first item, which was a recovered dash, but it wasn't packaged properly by his shipper, and had some rub marks, so he said to return it to him, which I did. He was going to Japan in late June / early July, returning on 7/8 and I heard from him after that saying he was behind on deliveries, but nothing at all since 7/15 via PM here or on Pelican or via the e-mail address I'd been using with him. His last posts were around 7/19. Hope he's OK, but also need my parts !

Send Hacker a PM asking for assistance. If the guy is a Rennlist member they will have some contact info for him.

He's already on it. Thanks.

And here I was going to flag his username as a likely tipoff...

His name is William B Jewett which is where his user name comes from.

I've gotten my parts from him personally for upholstery, he was on vacation for part of last month as i recall. I let him know about this thread and hopefully he can get this sorted out.

Thanks everyone for the help. I've been trying to contact him various ways since 7/19 without success. Once I get this resolved, I'm fine with the forum admin deleting this thread to not effect William's reputation. I just want what I've paid for and been promised.

Delayed yes, scammed NO.. You sent back the first dash I sent you because of 2 minor scratches from shipping .. At twice the cost I paid for shipping. The damage was minor at best and I easily repaired the dash and used it Ina different car. I informed you that I was leaving to Japan for 10 days.. When I returned we exchanged a few emails and I informed you there would be a long delay from the upholstery shop as I was backed with few orders. If I'm not correct you have my phone number.. And contact info. I have deliverd many items sold on this website and just refunded one item because it was broke while preparing for shipping.. So I'm not sure how you assume I scammed you.

Glad we're reconnected.

You told me you would be in Japan until July 8th but I'd likely receive the replacement before you returned, and if not, you'd check the tracking info when you returned, and let me know. A week after you returned you sent me a PM that said you were running a little behind (no additional detail) but would check on my items and get back to me. That was the last communication you made to me and it was on 7/15, almost a month ago, and I've sent you 1-2 messages a week asking for an update and received nothing.

I need the A-pillar gauge holder sent to 928 Motorsports ASAP. The remaining items by Labor Day weekend if there's any way possible.

By the way, I looked through all our communications and do not have your phone #. If you could PM it to me, that would be great. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I haven't received any communication or a direct contact phone # from William since his last post in this thread. I PM'd him both here and on a different forum, but no response. All I want to know is what the ship dates of my parts are going to be (since I now know there have been some delays from his upholstery shop) and I need to get one of the items up to Carl at 928MS ASP for the supercharger project. I sent the 2 checks for these items in late May and early June, so it has been a while.

William, any update for me? Thanks.

This the guy in Socal?

Petza914

Yes, he's in Diamond Bar, CA

The quality of the work and the leather used both looked very good. Had the dash arrived wiout the rub spots from his shipped not wrapping it properly, I certainly would have kept it and it's also why I placed a 2nd order for additional items with him.
