I ordered a set of 5.5 AMG emblems a couple weeks ago now, via the following website.

http://folex618.tripod.com/

Ive sent him a number of E-Mails in regards to shipping to Canada and what not, havent gotten one reply... unfortunatly I have already paid for my two emblems and havent received a shipping confirmation E-Mail.

Im starting to think his site is a huge scam....can anyone enlighten me?

well, with a gmail named "folex"...I wouldn't be surprised if it was. The site seems to be extremely poorly made too...

hope everything works out! those badges look super clean too

**sigh** well, does anyone else know where to get these?

i got them off of ebay from the same seller. no problems at all. i don't think he's pulling a scam, probably busy or something.

I think folex is a stand up guy. The "5.5 AMG" badges I got from him were shipped quickly and better than expected. Lot's of people on this forum have had good experiences with him. Good luck with your order!

ya I have been debating if he will still send them since I heard he is no longer on the boards here.

number_one_c55

he better send them!

From my research he's sold a ton of those things, and many many members found them to be very high quality. Hopefully things will work out

Ive had a set of them on my car since he had the original batch made a few years back. they are still on the original 3m adhesive, and look as good as new. If they are made out of the sates (Taiwan), maybe he is just waiting for a batch to come in? Unanswered email is def frustrating though.

Sorry to say, but all the positive comments are from guys who bought a long while ago. This guy never responded to any e-mail I sent him so I decided not to place the order. I just don't think he's making these anymore. I'm sure he was a standup guy when he was actively selling He's not been on these forums since sometime in 2010 - last time I checked.

You may want to initiate an investigation or dispute the charge through paypal and see where that goes.

I do not believe anyone else is offering these badges online.

Good luck.

I bought an /////AMG emblem off of ebay and had a similar experience, not with the same seller, but the seller never replied to any emails I had sent. I initiated a dispute through ebay and won as the seller never responded to ebay.

A week later the emblem arrived! So not only did I get my money refunded but I also got the emblem (and it was a quality piece as well )

Finally something going wrong in MY favor

Did you end up getting in contact with him?

number_one_c55

Nope still no reply from him...

whw7

Paypal should have a dispute protocol. Make sure you are aware of the various deadlines though if you follow that course of action.

number_one_c55

yeah ive given up all hope, ill contact PayPal tomorrow, hopefully ill get my money back...

number_one_c55

Finally! Just got the shipping confirmation for these! Took long enough....

AMG_Dom

Damn, if I had known someone local was getting some I would have gone in with you....oh well..

Guess I'll contact him

mgiannetto

That is good to hear. I wonder why he doesn't respond to e-mails and yet is still making these items. Whatever the reason glad you are getting the fender emblems. Put up some pics once installed.

number_one_c55

I will post pictures once I get them, also ordered a AMG shift knob cap i guess you could call it to liven up the stock C55 shift knob. Will post pictures of that as well.

When you get them make sure you put them on correctly and in the right place....

number_one_c55

**sigh** its always something, totally forgot Canada post is on strike

Folex is a long time forum member and is legit. I got all my badges from him. You just have to be a lil patient.

number_one_c55

Ducatic230
