FtNx - Your price should have been $193 total instead of $203. Could be less depending on how many orders.
Hope these things get shipped today or tomorrow as previously stated. I e-mailed Scott last week and have received no reply, either.

Quote: I may not have used the correct link. I did include a brief note indicating that it was a group deal order, though. Does this seem right?

Item Name: Maxima Intake-Colors-Apexi
Option 1: YEAR: 2000-2001
Option 2: COLOR: BLACK
Item Amount: $190.00
Quantity: 1
Total: $190.00

Cart Subtotal: $190.00


Shipping: $13.00
Sales Tax: $0.00


Cart Total: $203.00
You used the correct link. Your intake in black color with Apexi is regularly $200 before shipping, so you got the group deal price at $190 before shipping.

The silver finish ones are $180 before shipping for gd price, which is what I think 2k1seae was referring to. The painted ones are $10 more than the silver ones.

I wish I knew.

I think Steve was yankin our chain when he said he had everything and the Group Deal was "READY TO GO"

My personal feeling is they took all our cash and THEN ordered stuff to complete the orders...so they wouldn't have to stock inventory up front out of their own pockets.

Is there any other reason for the delays, ignored emails and phone calls, and B.S. from them? I think not.

I'm about fed up with this. I didn't give Frankencar an interest free loan so they can keep their inventory costs down. This hasn't been worth a $10 or $15 discount.

If I haven't heard from them by Wednesday, I'm filing a fraud complaint with PayPal.

I second that idea.... Either a personal email from them directly to me, giving me the status of my order, or I file a complaint as well. No more "we'll just post on this board a generic answer" crap, they need to respond to each buyer individually.

Add me to the list as well. I gave them all the time in the world in my heart and mind, and they just completely took a dump on us. Tick, tock...

Just got off the phone w/ Scott at Frankencar
He told me Steve should've posted saying that they are shipping tomorrow. I said there was a vague post about shipping early this week. He also told me that he was just about to go and package everything up for us to ship TOMORROW. I asked him if all the MAF adapters got in and he said yes so I left it at that... I don't know whether to be or ...

LOL

That's what Scott always says (when you finally get him on the phone), "Steve was supposed to post, blah blah blah".

Those guys need a public relations person on staff

Update: Frankencar just refunded my money via PayPal (at my request)

Good luck to you guys with your intakes

Your 5 dollars, or the whole thing? Tired of waiting I guess? Sorry about the frustration. They really do need some help with the communication bit.

Dear Valued Customer,

Unfortunately we are out of the silver midpipes for your year right
now. We would like to offer you a colored midpipe at no charge in order to expedite your order. We have blue, yellow, gunmetal, black and red as of this writing. If any of those colors is acceptable to you please let us know and we will ship asap. IF not the silvers are in production but it will be the end of next week before we have powdercoated ones back. Thank you for your understanding.

I ordered the Silver as well, guess they have them for the '04s.... actually kind of nice they are shipping via US Postal Service.... much faster than UPS or FedEx ground, especially going all the way to CA..... and no, my earlier post was NOT for humor.... i wouldn't dare joke about FINALLY getting this! I at least hope it wasn't a joke on THEIR part....

I just got off the phone with Scott, and he said that there were 2 silver midpipe orders that could not be sent because of the shortage of silver midpipes. He will be calling me back within 45 minutes, as he said, to let me know if I am one of those people (looslip and someone else, apparently). He said Steve has the tracking info, and that if he can reach Steve, he will get it for me. I don't get it though, if mine was sent out, I should technically have gotten an email about it..

chris - how long will the shipping take?

Dunno how long it will take, but I think USPS is no more than 3-5 days. The tracking number won't work yet on their website, probably hasn't gotten into their system yet. I'll check tomorrow, don't know if USPS puts an estimated delivery date on their tracking page like FedEx and UPS do.

Also, I noticed the $25 off the catback exhaust they're offering... is this another custom Maxima thing? I'm kinda wary about dealing with these guys again, even though we did EVENTUALLY get our stuff... anyone know about this exhaust, what the specs/features are?

Well, I talked to Scott again and he confirmed with Steve that I was the other unlucky buyer who is not going to get the color that I wanted. In other words, looslip's and my intakes have not been shipped, so everyone else should have their confirmations in their emails. On the upside, there may be a gunmetal or two left, so when Scott gets back to me (should be within 10 minutes) I should have a gunmetal ready to ship tommorow.

If you do talk to him can you please tell him to ship me a gunmetal as well? I did reply to their email but I'm not sure if they check it.

Hey man, I just spoke to Scott and got my order all straightened out - gunmetal will be shipped tommorow. As for your order, Scott was not sure if they had any more gunmetal ones and he asked me to tell you to email Steve with your request.
