Harris the crook has officially folded his website, so there's no way to contact him anymore

Sauceboy01

I sent another email the other day to harris only to receive this auto-reply:

Dear all,

I am no longer with Harton Motorwerks. The business has been sold to a former business associate. All outstanding orders will be handled by the new
manager Tony. He will be contacting all customers with either undelivered parts or pending refunds.

I am happy to know you all in the past few years but I am completely exhausted with all the things happened to me in 2005.

Once again, I want to apologize for all the hick-ups over the past few months. The new ownership will honor all outstanding orders and get them resolved ASAP.

Regards,
Harris

I hope the new owner's ready to refund me my money cause 'Tony' will be getting an email about the $4300 Harris owes me when they open for business(whenever that is).

thats crazy, some one needs to f*ck this guy up

SteveL1

Where is/was he located???? Can someone on the forum drive by to see if they are in business or not?

Having owned two businesses before, I can not see how anyone would let it get to the point were it was. At least anyone with any morals! I had to sell one of my businesses, but never did I screw a customer out of $$$. Just not right.

harris you tool -- refund the money

That's sad. Makes me very scared to purchase anything without a vendor posting it on ebay for example... not that it's any better there.

It's hard when you get vendor who builds a positive reputation through a forum such as this, then this kind of scenario happens. It's not like randomingly online shopping or getting scammed on ebay.

I had a not too dissimilar scenario occur about 10 years ago with a vendor who was known as ELP Motorsport based in SoCal. I originally spotted them through an ad in European Car mag. I had over a year or so of pretty good dealing on some hard to source BMW 3 series performance parts(many custom), even bought wheels. However, in the final transaction with them I had ordered a bodykit through them made by another firm in CA. However, my 3 series was stolen shortly after the order was placed. I had already paid for the kit and there should have been no issue with refund or credit. That's when the comms stopped completely and I never did end up getting my 1800 odd refunded. That after spending probably $10k+ with them and speaking with the proprieter personally dozens of times on the phone over the period.

Sometimes you never know with these things, especially when their's distance involved.

I recently bought a set of 18" SLK55 wheels for my C32 off eBay. They were shipped on the 25th of last month from Vancouver, British Columbia. But, thanks to the scum bags at FedEx, the package is still in Portland, Oregon!!

Maybe this is just a big coincidence, but the gentleman's email reply name was "Harris/JuJu". He has been very courteous and prompt in responding to my emails and concerns.

He even indicated that he would reimburse me my shipping charges once I get a refund from FedEx.

Could he be the Harris everyone is so upset with? I can’t imagine, because my experience with him has been very positive so far.

SaRiDi

Yes, you are dealing with him if his name appear Harris Hsu or Juju Hsu.

Although many ppl seems got screwed up here, my experience with Harris still positive. Maybe I am just the lucky one..... who placed the orders last August and October (while Harris ran into troubles) and still received my pkg without much hassle.

oggle

Sold? He'd have to PAY to get rid of that company.

Trekman

Tony is the new owner, his last name must be Soprano that sucks! I hate crooks they should burn in hell! :v

The only reason Harris is taking people's money is that people are letting him.

thats absolutely true.

the guy called Harris has got tens of thousands in this "business" and someone should stop that

tritonx

sorry to bump but has anyone had luck finding Harris? or even, say, his ebay accts or alts?

OzSL55

I'm still after my $4k+ refund from him. No sign of this 'Tony' guy who was buying his business supposedly...

Kev04C320

I got a steering wheel from Tony but it's the wrong wheel, and he still owes me a set of illuminating doorsills + refund.

AMG PWR

Does anyone have any new contact information on this guy? post up, maybe if we all start to bother him a little, This Tony guy can see what a mess he has gotten into!

OzSL55

My thoughts exactly. I just sent a email via harris' old address after posting yesterday, but that's probably a complete waste of time unless they are re-routed to Tony.

Kev04C320, you don't happen to have Tony's email do you?

Kev04C320

It was sales@hartonmotorwerks.com, but their site has folded so it is no longer working. I have a mailing address though:

Boyz Audio Inc.
120-5791 Minoru Blvd
Richmond, BC
V6X 2B1
Canada

OzSL55

Yeah, I though the general email for Harton was sales@. I wouldn't assume that email using the same domain as a website means that it's automatically gone. They are 2 different things. I'm going to resend to sales@hartonmotorwerks just in case.

Thanks for the address info, at least that pin points where this Tony guy is.

Kev04C320

I tried numerous times, both their mail and web server are down. My mails all got bounced back.

OzSL55

Interesting, I have not had a bounce from the email I sent to Harris' old address yesterday yet. Let's see how the email I just sent to the sales address goes also. You're probably correct though, that's unless the last time you tried the mailserver was in transition to Tony or something.

How are you dealing with Tony? By mail or phone?

I tracked down via Yahoo (nothing on yellow or white pages Canada) :

Boyz Club Car Audio & Security
5791 Minoru Boulevard, Richmond, BC V6V1X2 Map
(604) 821-0093
(604) 821-0048 (fax)

Looks like we have a match. Think I'll be faxing my email correspondence to Tony and seeing if he can email me back.

Kev04C320

I think they are one and the same. Harris started out at the address I believe

Hugedrive

I'll call them first thing tomorrow......ThanK yOu

OzSL55

Just sent a 9 page fax to Tony which includes all previous correspondence with Harris re my order/refund. Hopefully he emails me back on it.
