Of all things! I would imagine the seller is working out the issue with the manufacture.
Most likey waiting to send it back to them for his refund first.. And I would assume these are non refundable made to order...

What a racket.
If only the seller and manufacture asked each other one simple thing: "RS?"

You watch, the seller or the manufacture will eat this and man up for you to get your money back. Especially now.

actually the seller is re-selling the bumper. i heard from my shop, bbi (they use the same CF manufacturer), the manufacturer never got paid by the "seller".

Id say being a drop shipment the seller and manufacture are trying to clear up who forgot to mention "not RS"…..

Horrible place for all 3 parties to be involved.
im sure it will be resolved.

well, bbi had told me their guy doesn't make a RS bumper. but this "seller" kept guaranteeing 100% that his guy makes a narrow body CF bumper. i kept asking cause there are only a few CF manufacturers that do good work but the seller guaranteed it 100%.

guess what? the CF manufacturer ended up being the same person - he does not make a CF NB bumper.

Ask for proof that he sent the check to you. Hope it doesn't bounce and waste more time. In fact for big several k in $, I would ask for wire. Let him eat the cost. Checks can bounce. More headache.

Manufacture did not get payment either? Lol. Wow

Send the payment back to this man. Stop screwing around w other people's money and own up to your mistake.

Clifton, I hope everything gets resolved soon. The seller is a good guy and very reputable on the forum. I'm sure he will come forward and take care of everything.

Good luck!

I think that I got all 12 of those from one supposedly reputable seller on this forum. Also "Had to take my mother to the airport" He is permanently off of my list of vendors.

Please PM me the name of the seller and I'll see if I can help you. Is this a legit seller, i.e. a Member or if a business a site sponsor? The delays you quote are way too long. i have recently instituted a policy that scam artists are banned here and
admins or other Porsche sites informed as to why which usually leads to their being banned on ALL sites.
Regards,
