I want my money.

hooleyboy

Forget the caps, the man has an interesting story to tell.

Karlson

In first VRP split, then Vadim's site stopped working and now these. Definitely reputation is going down the toilet.

Zod

your not the only one...

TopGun32

probably waiting for his fabricator to complete the parts you ordered...

Get your money back and wait for a used set of shorties or HEM's.. or contact Kleemann or Renntech for a new set.

one thing I have learned about tuning.. it takes time.

AMS Performance

It should not have to.

jangy

So the race is on. Who can recover their money first?

Vadim @ FD

Chris, I sent you an email.

Please call me at 949.584.4446.

Lets get it resolved.

Thanks, Vadim.

I think the big problem with a lot of these smaller tuners is that their cash flow is usually low. Once something is ordered, they spend the money on bills, etc.. Then when it comes time to do any refunds, etc.. they get stuck. And they don't have a good enough credit line to get cash from the bank (esp more so these days when banks are hesitant to extend under secured cash loans)

'Business 101' fundamentals. Most common reason for small business failures.

True. Business 102, VIA social media business = a couple of bad post like this and you can kiss your money owed good bye..

Where the hell are the moderators? This guy should be banned

I had a 4 + month ordeal getting a refund (approx 1000) from Vadim. Broken promises... followed by more broken promises. I would never buy a FD product new or used ever, no way I'm going to support his bullsht business practices.

If you don't file with Paypal within 45 days you're screwed. Luckily I paid by Visa and they issued a chargeback.

Good luck, you're going to need it.
