Man, I had payed for a complete intercooler kit from HPI, and they told me it was on back order. I have bought stuff from them in the past and have been very pleased with the product. Well, we have been dicussing the backordered part issue every week and having talks about buying some more stuff, when all of a sudden... nothing.

I have emailed them a heck of a lot and even sent emails to the headquarters in Japan, but nothing. Its been about two weeks since I've heard sh1t, and fear that I have lost all me fu<king money.

Man... if anyone knows about this, or what I should do, please let me know.

How did you pay them? Cash, check, or charge?

If you paid with credit card or check card, contact your financial instution (the people who issued you the card) and tell them that you paid for goods to be shipped you haven't received, and would like the charge stopped and your money back.

Most cards have 30, 60, or 90 day purchase protection.

If you paid by check, stop payment on the check, or call your bank.

If you paid by cash... I hope you didn't pay by cash.

You can file a fraud and theft report with your local PD as well as the local PD where the shop is located. If the charge crossed state lines, you can involve the FBI.

Or, you can CALL the shop and find out what's going on. :)

Paypal...

I have all the transactions saved and even have emails from them agreeing. I have sent emails to both the American sector and the section in Japan.

The main company is located in Japan, so calling them will not be so easy.

Im hoping that they are in some sort of meeting or religious activity or are having a wonderful gay festival parade that lasts 3 weeks... At least I would still receive my stuff.
