rotorhead.ca? what's up with them?

I ordered 2 dual alt. pulleys about 6 weeks ago and haven't gotten them yet. It's also been 2 weeks since I emailed them without a reply. Anyone here know them to ask what's up? I don't know how else to reach them.

Manntis is just the 'middle' man for some of the products sold on his site. I think the pulleys are from
an outside vender. who, for you are lagging on your order. so manntis won't be able to hurry, or anything
on your order. It's out of his hands. I feel manntis is a straight forward business guy, and this should not effect anyone from doing business with him. Maybe the reason he has not responded to email is,,,, maybe he's all caught-up finding himself a desent -SE,,,again . IMO
hey ! manntis... i'll sell you my -SE. for $ 2K the only thing 'wrong' with it,,is the paint. yes thats right my $150.00 dollor car has turned into a gem. who knew ?
me !!!! Lol

I am still waiting for an order placed over a month ago.

I got the run around by email, they told me to contact CP Racing for tracking info. They didn't give CP my order until recently even though they told me they did it weeks ago.

Still no word on my shifter boot either.

My first transaction with them went very smoothly, however, this one is totally the opposite.

I hope to receive some merchandise soon, I am getting fustrated with the run around and such.

They responded to all my e-mails pretty fast, but no dual belt pully yet. I ordered it three weeks ago. Hopefully it will come today, please oh please, rx-7 gods let it come today.

I've seen a lot of good stuff from Manntis- He has good stuff. He's a busy guy, so stuff takes a while. I've never heard of him screwing anyone over. I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep emailing him.

Yeah, he's a good guy, and a lot of **** has come down on him in the last few months. I believe he's in LA right now, taking care of some other business ventures he's involved in and hob-nobbing with studio types.

Rest assured, you will all get your stuff.

Oh and mark perez, I told him to go buy that car, but would he listen? Noooooooooooo!

Bump again, Have any of you guys got your stuff yet.? I know Manntis is a good guy, but it's pretty irresponsible to leave your business for months at a time.

Now I have to order it again from another website, and if there is an "outside vender" that's lagging I feel it's still the responsibility of the seller to straighten it out.

manntis is a good guy, nobody has really heard of him since he crashed his car. Some people on the forum know him personally, they might be able to figure out what is going on.

I had been dealing with CP Racing and Stacy Muller about my order that I placed around the 17th of last month.

I have gotten no responses in the last 10 days, so I filed a claim with PayPal yesterday.

I had gotten a pretty bad run around, saying my stuff has been shipped so I can't cancel my order, but they wouldn't provide a tracking number.

I hope to either get my money back or get the product I ordered soon, I am very fustrated and have tried to handle it the best way that I know how.

I can try to give him a ring, but I don't think he's back from the US yet.

Well, I got the run around from Stacy Muller.

If he leaves the country, I would think he would leave the business in the hands of someone capable and trustworthy.

He just made a post in the lounge (8/26) so he's still around. Someone there even gave him this thread to 'please check it out'.
He seems to be ignoring the 1st gen section, emails and PMs. Strange and troubling.
