Why doesn't he just come out and say he is askcarbon. Im new to this forum but on the bimmer forums when someone is advertising/selling their products they have to become an official vendor, pay fees. The restocking fee is ridiculous, but he sells off of Instagram he can make his own rules since he has no one to answer to. Live and learn...

Before even talking about a refund/return I was ready to send him a BRAND new set of buttons, and a BRAND new backing trim NO QUESTIONS asked. He wanted a FULL refund on the alcantara airbag cover, I sent that back NO QUESTIONS asked. I DO care about the post-purchase experience, which is why I offered this to him. He did not want to cooperate, his only response was to either give him a 100% Refund , or he threatening to post this here. He left out major details out if his original post which is why I called it slander. If you want to post a fair business review you better include ALL the details. Not just the ones that you think make you look better.

I sent him a photo of the wheel before shipping, is he had any issues he should have asked me before i shipped it.

The return offer is still on the table.
The fact still remains that you, beasty boy, sold inferior parts and pieces. Just another ‘business owner’ trying to make a quick buck at other people’s expense.

OP: send his stuff back to him and move on. Take this as a lesson learned, as others should also.

My parts are far from inferior. Yes it had a defect and I was ready to replace it. That is called good business practice.

Here is my own wheel on my own GLE63s. Enjoy. I spare no expense.


As long as it's yours and not someone else's? Am I a 'customer' of yours? Not after reading this thread. Never will be. Regarding my comments, you don't like them? Don't care. I don't do crappy.

CONSPIRACY THEORY:

What if the OP and Beast are the same people stirring up a such a convincing thread that has everyone reading it... with the mindset that any publicity is good publicity???

If that's true, I'd recommend some serious bipolar meds. Made me smile....

I Understand all the Frustration and I am not seriously making fun of anyone, but this has been entertaining. I think this THREAD can be summed up very clearly and concisely with NON Verbal Communication.
