Wow.....that blows. If you used a credit card you should be able to do a charge back. Companies hate eating those.

Hmmm, when I ordered my Forgestars I had to sign a note that said these are considered custom (made to order) and I would not receive any type of refund. It really sucks that it took so long and the customer service didn't treat you right but I knew from the beginning that would not be able to get a refund.

I was told by Kevin the contract was to protect **********s from getting stuck with custom wheels that were difficult to sell. Our wheels were several months late AND not even in production yet so, no one would be left holding wheels.
I did not call to get my money back until Kevin specifically stated that was an option as quoted above. |

OMG, what a horror story. It's reasonable to expect some contact from a vendor to let you know they're still in business and haven't forgotten about you or your order. It can be sooooo frustrating hearing zip on a delivery date especially when you've already paid for the merchandise.
Well, another one crossed off my vendors list for aftermarket parts. Thanks for the heads up post. I hope all works out okay for you. |

Did Modbargins tell you up front that there will be no refund on "custom" wheel and x% re-stock charge on return item? If they did, then I don't see how you can blame them not giving you full refund.

You are not the first person to have this happen with **********s. You're only real hope is to talk directly to Forgestar.

He can blame them because they haven't held up their end of the "bargain". If they delivered his wheels in the time they had quoted, then hell yeah, he shouldn't get anything back. But it sounds like they've had his money for 5 months now, and no wheels... when is enough enough?

WELCOME TO JUNE,
In my experience working at **********s your wonderful posts and remarks have been very enjoyable. You've done a great job handling this situation and I just wanted to say thank you for making everything so easy for me. Because of your patience and understanding your wheels are just about ready to be shipped if you choose to believe me. I did not respond to any previous posts because I'm simply tired of all this. You are the only person who is continuing this harassment. Now because of how well you've handled this situation **********s, the company you love to hate has powdercoated your wheels at NO COST that is usually an additional 400.00 charge. The latest news I received from Forgestar is that your wheels were sent out to get powdercoated on 5/17 and should be arriving any minute now. Hmm....maybe a phone call and you would have received a quicker answer. Again, I stopped replying to your posts because they were really just irritating and we could have accomplished much more over the phone instead of you posting this on 4 different forum threads. But then again E-Mail's or PM's would have been best because you would have just gotten over the phone and just cursed at us repeatedly and not allow us to speak. Enjoy your 1748.00 set of Forgestar F14's that you got for 1098.00 and sorry again that it took this long to deliver it. But again thank you for your patience and understanding.

You've got a lot of damn nerve to make a post like that after having this guy's money for 6 months. YOU should have been making the phone calls to let him know what's going on, not the other way around. You pretend like you're doing him a favor, when you're probably passing off a set of wheels that someone finally got sick of waiting on. I swear, some of the stuff venders post here simply astounds me. |

There have been NO agreements to modify the finish on my wheels. They have been ordered from the very beginning of this group buy with a gunmetal finish. The very first post in this GB thread makes it very clear that Matte Black, Gunmetal, etc. etc. are NO COST options. My wheels will be gunmetal colored and flawless to my order specifications or they will be returned.
Harassment? if the Truth about you and the company you work for is Harassment then so be it. You have been given every opportunity to make this situation right and you have failed to do so. You are the reason I am here. You stated that our already long overdue wheels were not yet in production and to give you a call for a refund. Everything that followed was a direct result of you and your company not living up to that statement. Welcome to June. No wheels. No ship date. NO SATISFACTION. |

I hope people really read this and take it to what it is. There's no way in hell I would've been this patient. To the OP, Take back your money if they're giving you the option.. go somewhere else.. There's allot of nicer wheels out there.. Sorry to hear you've gone through this.
