Do you trust James@ACGSanDiego.com
Hey guys,
I have placed an order from James in 8/12/2009 for a set of EBC brake pads with sensors.
First He gave me wrong bank info for the wire information and made me loss $10 to get the money back.
Then I called him up to speed the shipping and gave him a credit card number because I need to replace
my pads A.S.A.P and he used the card while I was with him on the phone and told me he got his $280.
Now it's over 3 weeks and I have not recieved any tracking number or a responed from James.
I have emailed him many times but no responed.
Does anybody know him? is he ok?
What do you guys think I should do?
forget my $280
and order my pads from some one else?

Sorry to hear about your problems. I am not sure that you should forget about your $280, he is been posting for a while now and I had never heard anything bad about this vendor. 3 weeks in unacceptable, but there must be going something really wrong if he can't even respond. Did you try to pm him, may be their server got problems. Probably So Cal peeps will chime in with more info.

oops. Missed that part. Aside from the cost, it may be hard to link schedules to make such a call.
I never emailed James, I just called. Maybe try pm'ing him? I conceed that things have not been handled so well up to now, but I suspect there's an explanation, and will reiterate my 'trust' rating

I know James and have talked to him multiple times. He is not fake and not new to the site. I am not sure what happened here, but I would be happy to call him for you and alert him to this thread.... maybe he can offer a reply 
EDIT: called him.... and he should be replying shortly

Please PM or email me again if you have any other questions or concerns.

Once again my sincere apologizes Hazim. I did not get your follow up email, however I did promise to send you the tracking and for that I am truly sorry.
I as well don't expect to see this happen again as well.
