I sent my trunk lock to him at least three weeks ago, and it apparently has fallen into the abyss.

I've sent multiple messages, and I KNOW my package had a clear return address on it.

No biggie, just really bad customer relations. I'd advise NOT to send your stuff to him. I didn't send money, but money isn't the issue with me. I have the money.

I guess I now lose an original key to my car and a random rear lock that I had hoped would be re-keyed to match my doors.

Maybe there are issues going on he can't control, who knows?

Buyer beware.

I just sent an email to him to return my parts as arrived as I was done with the delays. Then followed up with a few phone messages and then got my stuff back. It took 3 plus months from start to finish.

He has $500 plus my handles since December 2018. I've commenced a claim in the Miami Small Claims Court. Sorry to say. He is full of promises, but he never follows through.

I ordered some tumblers from him on eBay, They were supposed to arrive in about 10 days. 3 weeks later after 3 unanswered emails I filed a claim with eBay. Only then did he reply. Apparently he has had some "health issues". About 5 weeks after my order I received the tumblers as described.

I hope everyones orders get straightened out...

I think I lost my stuff here. I'm bummed, because he has an original key to my car that was NOS.

Wow.

It's strange. I had good service in the past and last year he jumped on a floor pan I had for sale and paid me quickly. In the last 6-12 months, he's done a 180 and made life miserable for his customers. I don't know what's up but I wish he would stop taking people's parts. It's worse than just taking their money.

Seeing as I did receive my parts I would take him at his word, that he’s sick, and hope for the best. Yes, I know that sounds naive but he has been providing a good service on this board and others for years. Hopefully he is recovering...

Having said that, you would have to be crazy to send him anything more at this point!

Darn, another casualty of my procrastination. I should have sent my stuff 5 years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I haven't sent anything yet, now I'll either wait another 5 or find another source (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If you just need keys or a rekey you can take your lock to any Locksmith shop. They won't chrome the body but they can rekey the locks or make new master keys to the locks anytime. Note: They will use Ilco keys (perfect keys) but if you want the Porsche name on the handle you will have to provide them yourself) N'ther Note: Not a key keosk but a commercial real locksmith with a big shop full of safes and lock stuff.

Example: No affiliation just information:

Glad you got yours. Seems like he only responds when he may have to give money back. I did a paypal complaint - he got in touch, then nothing. You can only complain once as I understand. So while he may be sick, he seems to improve when the cash is real.
