Anymore news on this? I'm not a big fan of just giving $200 away. If this can't get worked out quickly, I want my money back!

 

Don't forget guys camnub is dealing with the PRC... nothing personal/racist intended but the banking system over there might not be all it can be...
and there are political tensions between "them" and "us" right now over poisonous toys and other things...
I'd give him a few more days to sort things out....

 

Thanks for chiming in it does help that someone up top is watching so i'll wait a few more days. i would like at least a resoulution before the end of the week though. either let the ones that want out a refund or at least let us know when we will get the lights so when can make an informed decision as to how to proceed. Im not impatient i understand things happen especially since i know china has issues right now and this is a good deal. so Camnub help us in anyway possible please.

 

The order has been placed and everything is packed. They are waiting for the money to show up in their bank account until they ship out.

I have the MIR number. I'll talk to them tonight and see if they see the money (they should...). I can give them the MIR number and have them bring it to the bank and track on that end.

Or I will initiate a track on my end.

Yep. A MIR number gives me this ability.

Yep. I'll let you guys know when it comes out. I'm not here to scam you guys and frankly, I'm getting pretty frustrated with these guys that it hasn't come out yet. I'll wait until I get some news tonight and let you guys know.

Might be. I think it's moreso of someone somewhere not doing their job. It should've been there already (but once again, i'll check with them tonight and relay the information).

Yeah, I really apologize about this. I honestly have no clue why it has taken this so long. It doesn't make me look very good. But whatever it may seem, trust me I'm not here to scam you on your hard earned money.

I don't think you are scamming us.(didn't mean to come across that way if I did) I guess I was more worried that you were getting scammed which means the rest of us would get screwed along with you..haha! No hard feelings and I'm sure you are doing all that you can, just let us know if anything changes, because I'm not one to go throwing $200 down the drain.

Jimmy comes across as a very decent fellow ( or a magnificently well-spoken thief ) and yes, I do think this is an honest hiccup or stumble, which is someone else's fault.

He went through what looks like a lot of trouble to answer everyone's questions (including mine) and I'd really give him and the trouble concerning the wire transfer more then just a few days, sometimes things like this take a little bit to sort out, especially when you're dealing with THAT kind of overseas.

I mean, I understand, I'd be worried too if it was my 200 dollars that were floating somewhere on faith alone, and yes, I'd be more worried that it's Jimmy who is getting scammed by someone unreachable overseas then he is scamming us (really feels highly unlikely) , but hopefully that won't be the case and this'll work out to a happy ending. Good luck folks.

 

Yeah. I really really apologize about this. This is incredibly frustrating.

For some reason they couldn't check the w/ their bank last night, so they will check tonight.

I went to the bank last Friday and I had them look up and track my transfer and it looked good on their end. I didn't recieve a call either about a mistake in the transfer either.

So I am assume someone somewhere in China isn't doing their job and getting that money transfered into the correct account. > :mad:

If they don't see anything tonight, I will call up Wells Fargo tomorrow and I will use that MIR number and find out where in this chain some person isn't doing their job. (I will send them the MIR too. They can take it to their bank and track from that end which will be faster).

 

If so put me down for bi-xenon H4 12K (9003,Hb2) whatever you want to call it
My email is Mytacoma4x4nh@aol.com (I have an 01 4Runner) the Tacoma was stolen

 

I don't have a run going on right now but I'll let you know when/if I do another one.

I really need to get this current batch handled before I even consider doing a new one.

 

ok cuz i want one for christmas if you wan do it

 

Update: They sent a man out to the bank to find out if the money is there.

I'll initiate a track tomorrow. Even if they have it, It can't hurt to find out where/why the heck there is such a giant delay.

I'm off to bed though.

 

I guess I am having a problem because if this were my deal and there was a problem with the international wire transfer I would not have let 2 weeks go by before trying to find out what was going on.

 

UPDATE: After spending 2 hours on the phone w/ the Bank in China, I have confirmed that the money arrived last night (their time), so the money should be in their account right now.

The banking system there is pretty complicated. The money first arrives to the bank branch. And then it has to go to a subbranch, getting to the area isn't enough, it has to go through one more step. I've never ever had such an issue w/ wire transfers (last time to this same bank it was very fast), so this was a first for me too. I don't know what the delay was, but I guess some kind of beaurcratic BS.

I apologize for the delay, I'll get these kits out to you ASAP. They should get to my place in about 3-5 days. I'll get these out to you by Turkey Day weekend.

 

Yeah. This run did not go as smoothly as I wanted.

I had a different rep (the guy I was dealing with was out of town), and the lady gave me wrong pricing and took a couple extra days to finally get the correct order invoice. My regular rep just got back in town, and he's been much more helpful in trying to get this handled.

I've been after them since last Wednesday to keep checking their bank account. I wasn't really worried that the money was missing, I was moreso frustrated with the incredibly long time that it was taking for the money to get there.

I apologize for being seemingly indifferent to the entire situation and not keeping you guys up to date. I put a lot of concern/doubt in your minds. In the future, I know how to improve.

Edit: Oh, and for those who were wondering. The MIR number only gives the bank the ability to track on their end. If they want to look in China, they call the Bank in China and ask for the update. Because you gotta go through this extra channel, it could take 1 day or could take weeks to get a response.

 

Good to hear, so you should have them Friday or Monday? Let me know when you get them so I can pick mine up

 

Oh, you're in MN!

I don't remember if I have your phone number, but either way, PM me your number. I'll give you a call (or can you take text?) when I receive the kits.

 

Another Update: The kits have been shipped!!!!!

 

Sorry for being the pessimist, these things sort of freak me out.
Where are you shipping from, and what would it cost if we (I) wanted expedited shipping from you (15235)?

 

No problem. In your shoes, I'd be the same way.

I am from area code 55438. What type of shipping are you looking at? Overnight?

I will probably be shipping USPS priority and since I'm in a central location (MN) i've found it's about 2 days shipping.

If you want UPS/Fedex/DHL (tell me what you want), It's 10 bucks.

 

So is Fedex going to be slower than USPS Priority? How quick can you get Fedex to 98604?
