I would give them a couple days from today to get things sorted out. After that point, if things are not resolved then file a dispute. It sounds like they want to get this sorted out, sometimes companies can't do things in 24 hours. I am certainly waiting to see how this works out since I need new axles on two different cars.

Ok, so I was about to file the dispute around 3pm yesterday when Ultra Rev called me regarding the voicemail I left them. I told the lady I had not received the call tag on Friday to ship the axles back. She said that the owner of Driveshaft Shop forwarded her the email showing that one was sent out Friday at 4:30. I have been checking my Inbox and Spam all weekend...I have no email. So I told her that is great, but since I am running out of time and haven't been able to ship them back yet, I will need to file the dispute. She got all upset saying "You have my full attention. We are trying to get this resolved. So you're going to hurt my rating?" I said, well it has been a week since I first called and I still have the axles. Once the 45 days passes I won't have the buyer protection. She then got the owner of Ultra Rev on the phone. He was saying stuff like "We have been in business for 12 years...we have 20,000 feedback...we sold something to a guy in Turkey without a problem...blah blah" I'm like wtf, I don't care...as a buyer, I just need to get this resolved and also protect myself. But I do feel a respect for online sellers, and so I told the lady "Well maybe if you put in writing you guarantee I'll get my refund, I won't file the dispute". So she wrote me:

"You have MY word,


EVEN IF THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT RELEASE FULL credit


WE will, as long as NO action is taking over ebay"


I thought about it, and realized a few things would need to be changed, as there is not enough detail. So I sent her an email saying

"Shannon,

I have made a few edits to the message you sent me. Do you concur with them?

Original message:

You have MY word,

Because you received the incorrect items, EVEN IF THE MANUFACTURER, Driveshaft Shop, DOES NOT RELEASE FULL credit of $340 for the return of the Honda S2000 axles (Ebay items #120602219922 and #140433579984), WE, Ultra Rev, will guarantee a full refund, as long as NO action is taken over ebay. You will not be responsible for any restocking fees, shipping fees, or any other fees"


I sent this at 3:45 or so and did not get any response, so around 9 pm I sent her another message saying

"Shannon,

I received a copy of the shipping label via email. I will ship it out tomorrow, however before I do this, I need confirmation that you agree with the changes I made below to your original email. Please respond immediately so I can get the process started.

Thanks

Kevin

PS I did not get the email you were supposed to forward with the previous call tag. Can you please send that as well?"



I have not heard anything from her, and it is now 12:30 pm Wed. She is really pushing my last nerve. In addition, she told me on the phone yesterday that "A new call tag needs to be generated, because they expire after two days". In the email I got yesterday from UPS, it says that the call tags expire after 30 days. So the Ultra Rev people are either clueless, or lie.

LONG STORY SHORT, DO NOT ORDER FROM ULTRA REV. Thanks for reading.

Well that is the thing...I think they know that the 45 days are up either tomorrow or Friday (depends if it's 45 days AFTER the date of purchase, or if the date of purchase counts as the 1st day). I think they are just trying to f@#k around with me saying they've "sent several emails to Driveshaft Shop and called them and get a busy signal" etc. until the dispute period runs out. Then, they won't have to work with me to do a return. And DSS will say they can't do anything either, because I have to go through the reseller. The whole thing makes me sick...just bullshit over customer loyalty and a $20 shipping charge back. And to think, I was going to still buy from Ultra Rev before this.

I did not realize that the 45 day period was up tomorrow. I would file a dispute ASAP.

Yup, you've given them more than enough chances. If the dispute is cancelled (you cancel it because they live up to their end of the contract), then there's no black mark on their record. Remember; they're the ones that screwed up and are inconveniencing you, not the other way around.

I really hope you filed that dispute by now. I would not have had the patience for that. I would have filed it the first time they gave you the run around.

What's incredible, is how they didn't say blimey, we've sent out the wrong components by accident.

Tell us your address and we'll dispatch directly to you and you can put the incorrect ones in the post. We do apologise. 90 seconds later they've inputed your name and address, attached it to the exterior of the box and put it onto the pile of parcels to leave.

Appauling really as I've been close to buying their top-end driveshafts recently.

So I had emailed Ultra Rev a few times trying to get some sort of guarantee for my refund before shipping the axles back since the time to file a PayPal dispute was running out. I could not get this on the terms I wanted so I filed the dispute. Ultra Rev denied my refund request, which I guess means it is time to escalate to a claim. I wanted to resolve this as amicably as possible and just get my money back and move on, without hurting seller or manufacturer, but it appears that they want to do it a more messy way.

So in response to my previous emails on the previous page, she wrote back:

Kevin

You got to give me time PLEASE , you are not even giving me 24 hours to answer you …

PLEASE check my terms and conditions- we have 24hrs to answer emails
Please check my terms and conditions before placing a future order with us as well please


I have to say, I feel “very bully” my this email …but

I felt that her tone was very rude and lacked customer service. She knew this was a time sensitive issue, and a reply would not take more than a few minutes. I felt she was still trying to delay things. I wrote back:

She addressed a lot of things, but refused to concur with the terms of guaranteeing a return, which further irked me. So I wrote:

In case you didn’t read it, or it slipped your sight, I restated it below. Do you concur with my terms below, yes or no? That’s all I need from you.
