Thumbs down Raceworks - Just a warning to everyone!

DO NOT USE RACINGWORKS.COM

I placed an order on March 4 for a Greddy Profec E-01. It still never arrived and I started investigating. I googled there name and nothing but bad reviews and scam posts came up. I wish I would have done this before ordering. There site looks to be pretty legit though. Well now I have to wait 10 days for PayPal to refund me my money.


Just thought I would let everyone know to not order anything from here ever!!

yeah I guess the mods could move it there.

I thought the good guy / bad guy was only for forum members.

Two weeks is your limit before it's a 'scam'?

What are you going to do if Paypal gives a refund and it arrives the next day?

I emailed him several times and no answer. I also saw on several sites of people getting scammed.

There is no phone number on the site either or an address.

such is the life of people who want to pay the absolute rock bottom price for a part instead of supporting forum vendors who may charge a bit more but at least have a track record. not bashing you for searching for a deal, but warning others of the pitfalls of the inter-webs.

Yes, because no one has EVER gotten screwed on a deal from a vendor here...

not what I said

playing with fonts and italliacs is so much fun


let me clarify for the slower members out there. In our desire to find the very best price on products we sometimes overlook the people who make this community what it is. No, you are not beholden to buy anything from anyone, but it's never a bad idea to give them a shot. that is ALL i was trying to say
