Vendors..If not in stock...don't lie..RANT

This is the 2nd time I have ordered a part from a Mini 3rd party Vendor who claimed it was in stock...Both times the vendor did not tell the truth! (Not one of our sponsors)

THE 1ST ONE ..(WELL KNOWN) had to have a complaint filed with Paypal before he credited me back. Now this one has lied and still has not corrected his own web site (still says in stock)...BS.

2 more days and I will notify my credit card Company if he does not issue a credit. Too many $$ floats being played out there. They "presell" and then order the parts, knowing they will not have to carry inventory!!... old scam! Backfires when they do not receive their order on time!

BTW: M7 parts are becoming difficult to obtain again! (NOT knocking M7...just certain vendors....(they make good stuff!)

Bottom Line...tell the truth! You will get a bad rep by not and word spreads! THEN THEY TRY TO BS YOU ABOUT HAVING SITE PROBLEMS!!! MORE BS.

Sounds like you've got some good reasons for the rest of us to shop NAM sponsors first!

I usually do shop and buy NAM Sponsors and they are great...there were these 2 items no one had though.... This was NOT a Price or Ebay dealing either! Both times were at retail!

BTW: Morristown Mini has a great sale and ships fast! Also communicates WELL!!

I wouldn't like being jerked around either. But at least you're reminding the rest of us that there are nasties out there waiting to take advantage.
