Bad Guy: MM (Jeff)

I paid for a Cobb AP on the 23rd of March and was told my Jeff that it would be shipped to me by the 1st of April. Its now the 10th and I have not received any tracking numbers from him, or for that matter any response to pm's and emails I sent him. This is regarding the actual unit, not maps.

So far just about every vendor or seller on these boards has fucked me over in some way or another and its beyond fucked up.

dude MM is a very busy guy and crying about getting your AP is just lame. your not the only person in here that put in an order for an AP. also making stupid threads like this is going to get you now were fast. if i were MM i through your money at you and tell you to FU!K OFF. go get your AP from someone else and see what you get. in my oppinion getting a AP is worth the wait from MM so stop bitching and keep your panties on.

Macius8, he just got one and she isnt fully in the loop yet. She is working very hard to be so and is organizing and communicating with as many customers as possible.

You have to understand MM is very busy. He also does not have the Cobb AP on hand. When he receives your payment, he orders it and it gets sent to him then he ships it to you. At this point you are probablly thinking "Then why don't I jsut buy it from where he gets it?" Well, heres why. When you buy it from MM he will custom tune for you for 6 months. If you buy an AP from any where else you pay the same $700 and then you have to pay another few hundred to get it tuned ONCE. MM will tune and correct your tune until you get the best possible outcome. He has hundreds of customers and hundreds of tunes that he is working with/on. He just got an assistant, so things should be getting much much better. Now stop having a hissy fit, wait the extra 1-2 weeks it takes to get the AP(since he has been away on buisness for a week or two) and calm down.

Before making this thread, did you talk to Hund? Probablly not, maybe you should.

doesn't Jeff quote 10 business days to ship your AP? MM is out of town, if Cobb sent him your AP, it's not exactly going to magically ship itself to YOU.

If just about EVERY vendor here has "fucked you over" then ask yourself....what is the common denominator? That would be YOU.

Apparently people dont realize that once you get the AP, your car doesnt turn into all it can be. The AP has a universal tune for your model rx8. Then you have to drive X amount of miles blah blah blah. So, even if you got it, he is out of town and wouldnt be able to help you any way. I love how if you say everyone fucked you over. Someone who has a life and a job and is helping 300+ people by sending them custom tunes for their 8 by himself deserves more credit then what you are giving him. Yes, it hasnt been shipped yet. No he is not ******* you over. If I was MM, I would see this post and always make you low priority for bitching and making a Bad Guy thread without trying to contact him or his assistant to find out what the situation was. Its ignorant people like you who give good guys bad names.

When you pay for something, you want answers on the status. When I spent $1000 with Fluid that ****** told me that everything was there ready to ship. 4 weeks later he still hadn't done anything with my order.

I have all the pm's saying what Jeff told me, and yes I did contact "Hund" about this days ago. I bought it back in March so I could get things ready for my trip to Cali for a month. Since it was to be here around the 1st, that would have given me enough time to take care of it. I leave monday for a month. I was hoping he could have sent me the unit and I could get him the logs so when I returned from my training in May they would be ready.

The only seller I have had a good experience with is CRH. He has even tried to help me out with this matter.

Indeed... Just be patient man. Look how many satsfied customers he's had on this forum and listen to yourself. I've never dealt/talked with the guy yet. I too am waiting on my AP, my first purchase from Jeff. It's not the end of the world dude and it definately doesn't revolve around you.

Oh Snap!

I can understand your frustrations,, but as mentioned MM has been doing a lot of flying around the country the past month.
I will mention it to Sean to inquire as to the status of your order. And when i see MM I shall do the same.

When you are a high strung person in the military, and you are use to certain things,you'd know that when people don't follow through it creates more tension. Im just about out the door to Iraq and I have a long list of things that need to get taken care of. The car for instance is being driven from Seattle, WA to Detroit, MI in a few months for storage and care.

One thing that was planned on being done was this tune, and have it done months prior as if something comes up it can get fixed. I also mentioned this to Jeff before ordering.

You all are killin me, LOL. If this were any other vendor/seller you would be agreeing that the OP shoudl have at least been extended the ****** courtesy of a replied email. I dont care who the hell you are or where you are traveling, you ALWAYS check ur email at least every 2-3 days. BUSY? Who the hell cares, everyone is busy, just a single response of the status would have done it, it takes 2 freakin minutes. But no, when MM is the one on the other end, all of the sudden everyone else needs to calm down and shut up because he's busy?? Bullshit.

Hell, im surprised this thread hasnt been deleted by the mods and the OP banned, pretty much like any other thread that DARED say MM is a badguy. Please. The OP is a bit extreme i admit, but the premise of this thread is valid. You all need to quit being little fanbois and look at it from the other end.

Haven't been around here long, have you?

People around here know Jeff and will wait for quality - if you wanted your AP 'NextDayExpress' why didn't you buy from Cobb?

......and the answer is that you wanted the extra value that comes with the MM sale, so you will play by his rules (or demand a refund and be 'happy') but you can't have it both ways.......

Either is acceptable, but please quit the whining, it's getting old.

After speaking to Mister Maniac. It has come to my attention that you need to send him an Accurate Address that UPS will ship to.
The one provided is not working with UPS. Now he can just send it to Ft. Lewis C/O General Delivery and you can hope for the best. But that would be through USPS.
So my suggestion is to get him an address that UPS is able to ship to.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience you may have encountered.

I did send him the address. Its the exact same one that I used to get my coils from you and BHR.

I sent him the email he sent back to me within hours of me getting it. Here it is.

BHR shipped your coils via the US Postal Service not UPS. Evidently the issue is with UPS.

OK let me see what we can do.

Right but I used that same address to buy a computer from Amazon a few weeks ago and it was shipped UPS...no problems.
