They don't. I'm not sure how Mode got that. They definitely don't make anything in-house that's for sure. Everything you see from Mode and RW is Chinese made, regardless of what they say. The price always tells the truth and I have a good friend in manufacturing in China.

All of our products are private labeled and made in house.

I wish it were a little over the top, I can post my insurance abstract to prove that the incidents occurred.

We are the only one's that manufacture this item.

Thank you for your input and patience. Please feel free to post pictures of your delivered products as we've moved offices and cannot post pictures of our facility conditions as of yet.

I commented on the post and made the buyer aware that he is entitled to a replacement if he should still want one.

I am happy that you conducted your research, we are doing our best to get our delivery times back on track.

He didn't and he is easy to contact if you want to check up. Damage control above doesn't change his experience which has been abominable. He has a timeline, notes and email chain he'll gladly share with anyone.

If you have custom made products which take weeks to fabricate, it's your job to make it right with the customer if you fail to deliver within the advertised lead time. It's not the customer's responsibility to constantly have to ask you for updates after all your previous updates were nothing but pure b.s to make the customer simply go away.

As a business owner myself, we would never treat customers in this manner. A customer would never get the runaround for days, let alone weeks, months or even a year. It's absolutely unacceptable, even in the midst of a pandemic. Our orders are shipped same or next business day with valid tracking. Problem with an order due to no fault of the customer? A replacement or refund is immediately on the way. This is how customers are supposed to be treated.

I also think it's highly unprofessional to post a customer's tracking number in public. The tracking should have been PM'd or emailed to the customer as it identifies which city the customer lives in. What if the customer didn't want that information made public? Not good business practices whatsoever. You guys really need to get your act together or strongly consider closing down your doors.

Good communication makes a good vendor. Poor communication makes a bad vendor.

Not sure. A lot of issues occurred while I was in the hospital. We have a list of everybody that was affected by delays and they do not seem interested in remedying the situation any longer.

Yes, he received his order and it would be great if he can post some installed pictures as we are delivering better to those who ordered in March and April.

We are on track to deliver the rest of our orders in the next coming weeks and have also have also been forced to move offices due to the constraints we had with our zoning regulations.

We reached out to him on the YouTube thread and the good thing is we have the item in stock. If he is interested in a replacement he is entitled to one.

Sorry to hear that. Let us know which diffuser you were interested in and maybe we can work out promotional pricing to get our name back out there.

Your order is finished and tracking information will be available to you in the next coming days.

Thank you for your 2 cents. Mind you I lost my license in the car accident and am lucky to be here. I am mandated by state law now to take medication due to the write up by the police.

Let's not forget, I was involved in not 1 but 3 accidents this past year. I was hospitalized for 21 days with no access to my computer.

This is not the first time that this is being mentioned on this forum place. We've been members now for 10 years and have stumbled just recently.

Covid-19 has impacted us tremendously as we were located in the epicenter of the Virus and our offices were mandated to be shut down for a stretch.

I did..FWIW, the products were excellent, installed well and were packed exceedingly well. Ordered in Oct, received in Jan/Feb. I ordered hood vents and rear diffuser.

C63 W204 / E63S W212 / E63S W212
Wanted to order their rear diffuser for my w212 about a year ago, but simply could not get an answer to a simple question before placing an order. Calls/voice mails/emails, all ignored. Lets just say i’m glad i didn't order from them and never will.

I tried going through BBB to do the same but I wasn’t having luck processing my statement I’m nit sure if I’m doing it wrong or what not as I have never done it before. You know how to?
If you go to the BBB website, search for Mode Carbon in Sparkill NY. Then select "all businesses" Click on the business and then "file a complaint" under the customer complaint section. - I filed a complaint and noticed that a few others had prior. I have contacted my CC company and they are going to credit the amount back to me. The unfortunate thing is that the products I have from them are really nice and I was looking to adding these pieces. Like another on this thread, I too am a business owner and could not imagine treating customers/clients in the manner that they are.

C63s Coupe (FL)
does anyone have an experience ordering from DMC? Really have an eye on this rear wing/spoiler - https://dmc.ag/product/mercedes-benz...-carbon-fiber/
Site has been engaging/responsive, however, not seeing any review in this forum or experience elsewhere. RW seem to have something similar, but not quite my first choice (for now anyway)

cheers


you are joking right. Lets name some big CARBON FIBER Accessory companies.

1. BRABUS
2. MANSORY
3. DMC
4. ABT
5. URBAN Automotive
6.1016 Industries
7. Novitec
