Anyone done business with this guy? Kevin Shull Ad #1218607
I contacted him thru RJ and he gave me a price for shipping and said "Usually ships within 10 days". I asked for some kind of order blank or invoice and he sent me this link:
http://www.geocities.com/ksracecars/KSR.htm
The address on the order blank, from what I can determine is a residential address. The phone number on the RJ ad and the order blank is registered to another person, but says ksracecars on the voicemail.
I sent him $1,065 paid with a cashiers check from my bank. On August 15th he sent a message stating that he received the check and "would get things going." Before the 10 days were up (Aug 28) I sent a message asking for an approximate finish date. No response. On Sept. 3rd I called both numbers on the order blank, got voice mail both times. On Sept 3rd he sent this message, 2 minutes after I tried calling him: "Hey there, I'm running a little behind, sorry. I hope to finish up the jacks this week. I pulled the ad due to overwhelming response". The fact is, the ad expired. I haven't heard from him since Sept 3rd. It seems logical to me that if he had an "overwhelming response" he wouldn't have told me "Usually ships within 10 days". unless the "overwhelming response" was after I placed my order, which would place me at or near the top of the list. When trying to access the order blank I mistakenly entered the URL and found this website:
http://www.geocities.com/ksracecars I clicked on the link for the jacks (products) and there is an email address. When trying to contact him on Sept. 3, I tried sending a message directly using that email address and got the {delivery failure notice} both times. There is another phone number on the website that is no longer in service. The website looked legitimate to me, albeit the URL seems a little strange for a business. All contact was thru RJ, even though I provided 4 alternate methods to contact me.
Sorry this post is so long but I edited it down as best I could but wanted to get as many facts on here as I could. Any comments, suggestions?
