Hi.

I'm hoping that there's someone here from the El Monte area who may be able to help.

Back in february, I ordered a fluidyne radiator from a company called Speedaction Motorsports, whose address is 11419 Hallwood Drive, El Monte, CA 91732.

They confirmed receiving the payment at the beginning of march, but i've still not received my radiator and have had no contact with them whatsoever since April 1st. Being in the UK, there isn't much I can do other than email them or attempt to phone them, both of which are ignored.

Has anyone here had any dealings with them whatsoever, or if not, would somebody be willing to find out what is happening with my radiator?

Thanks

Dan fearnley

 

sorry to hear about your misfortune. i have never heard of speedaction motorports so i cant really help you. why didnt you pruchase the radiator from a big name vendor like rx7store.net? they are a lot bigger and are better well known. good luck.

 

should have order it from .sp Engeneering.

 

what is your order# and their phone number. i will see what i can do.

 

Thanks for your help Enconsiderate. The order number is for an ebay transaction, 7954788651 and their number is (626) 272 3450.

At the time, they were the cheapest to buy from and had very good feedback. Unfortunately, cheapest is not always best.

Their website is www.speedaction.net

 

Hey Dan,


I Just tried calling over there but I think they are closed for today. I will try again tomorrow and let you know how it went.

what car is the radiator for?

Ian

 

Its for a 92-95 FD3S. I've not had any luck calling them either - i'm beginning to think i've lost my money....

 

well dan... im sorry, it was a ver busy day at work and it slipped my mind to call. i will try again tomorrow and i have put it in my planner as to not forget. ill follow up again.

ian

 

hey dan,


i ve been calling all morning... no pick up. the address you gave me is a little far (2 hour drive with no trafic) so maybe somone else on here lives closer.

i will keep trying to call but it looks like no one will pick up. the area code seems to be incositant with the location im calling. are you sure you you did not buy from another distributor that buys from speedaction.net???

when you sent your emails di you send to sales@speedaction.net???

 

Hey, i live a couple minutes away from el monte. if i dont do anything today i might just stop by and see whats going on. To be honest i dont like that area...

 

if i dont respond back within a couple a days, that probably means that i looked at someone the wrong way and got shot or stabbed or who knows.

 

haha

 

I looked up the address and it looks like a residential area. I think this guy is doing it out of his house.

 

I don't know if this works for international transactions, but I'd contact the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC - basically the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center - NW3C) at http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

You can file a complaint at that URL. Did you save any correspondence that shows what happened? The confirmation of payment? The PayPal receipt? If it's as you've explained, the IFCC will attempt to contact Mr. Huang and explain to him that the Internet isn't a free for all where people can start a business, charge for goods, and then not deliver. Rumor has it they check income tax records to insure that Uncle Sam has been receiving his share of the proceeds. Cause dems dat stands between Sam and his loot gets run ova. Sam's Gangsta!

 

What method of payment did you use? If Paypal you can file a complaint with them and they can shut down is account untill you get your parts. Only 1st 30 days though. Check if he's still around, other e-bay auctions of his still going. Report to e-bay. You can also call the local police there and make a report. You will have to talk to a special part of the department but I forget what it's called. Also report to the IFCC like Marcus said. give him hell...ckygive him hell

Maybe FD Ricky can get you the number for the local police dept.

 

Hi all. Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, I had to pay by bankers draft as they wouldn't accept international paypal, so I can't complain to paypal. I've spoken to my bank's customer services and they seemed to be unable to do anything, although I may visit my branch to see if they can do anything that way.

I've already made a complaint with that IFCC, as I found the link on the eBay.com page.

As far as I know, I was buying from a company rather than an individual. What's strange is that they 'seemed' to have relatively good feedback and good shipping times. I'm emailing them every two or three days now and they won't reply to any of my emails. I'm using the sales@speedaction.net email address too.

I think contacting their local police is a good avenue to try, so i'll probably try doing that this evening.

But thanks for everyones help so far, it means a lot to me

Regards

dan, i went to check out the place and it turned it out to be some dude's house. i knocked but no one answered. if you like i can contact the police for you but i dont know what good that will do.

 

I am going to email him one last time, to let him know that i'll be contacting the police there and to give him one last chance to respond.

Thank you very, very much for your help

 

Well theres a turn up for the books! I emailed him to say that I had contacted the Police, and he replied in under two minutes to say it had been shipped, and gave me the reference number for it! We shall just wait and see what happens now.....

 

el monte police...everytime i deal with them, they give me a little business card with my report # on it, then i get robbed again in a couple months, 5 times already, i moved to west co, screw them!

oh, good luck on your package though

 

dam dude that sux bigtime, i'm sorry to hear but i hope it gets to you soon, and remember always try to contact the person via phone before making a bid and ask then if there a shop or a house

 

Touch wood, its the first time i've ever had a problem .

The guy did finally respond yesterday (after three weeks, and with no explanation or reason for the delay). He told me the item had been sent, which would now be the third time and gave me a 'tracking number'. I checked the number with USPS today, and surprise surprise! They aren't able to track it!

 

Hey let me know how your package arrives and everything is ok.. I work on a task force and we handly IFCC complaints for So Cal.... let me know if it doesn't work out to your satisfaction.

 

i say we set the guy's house on fire
