VH Coachworks probs
 

Anyone have any issues with VH Coachworks? I sent payment over a month ago and the last communication I got from him is the invoice he sent me. Ive directly emailed and called several times with no response. I feel like I may have lost $127.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

anyone?

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Well, I have started a dispute throught paypal. Unfortunately, since he asked me to give the payment as a gift, I do not think I will be able to get my $127 back. I will no longer give money as a gift. As far as I can see that gets the receiver off the hook and paypal as well. I dont recommend that anyone else give money as a gift. The fees are the price we have to pay in order to use their site.

I had difficulty getting hold of the late last year. I think they grew to fast and could not keep up. They have some quality products, I hope they can get there act together.

As far as PP fees I agree, gifting for a product hurts the buyer. And, AFAIC, this whole "add paypal fees if paying by paypal" is BS. Just add the few cents on the dollar, it's a cost of doing business.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Hoping its just a communication error. I dont understand whay I cant get ahold of the guy, I called the phone number 3 times and left a message. I didnt leave anything nasty as I want to get the items still. Yea the fees are the cost of doing business.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Just a friendly reminder, when using paypal and the seller ask for the money to be sent as a gift, that is a common ploy used by scammers. That doesnt mean everyone asking money to be sent as a gift is a scammer, it is just a big red flag for me.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Yea i kinda figured that out the hard way

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Transaction costs are a part of doing business and the bank, Paypal or CC companies charge a standard 3% give or take. When people try to up charge you for the cost or ask to send as a gift you need to be worried. Trying to skim $3 on a $100 sale is cheesy at best and I'd be worried about what they will do with the quality of the product.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

i also am having problems with VH Coachworks.
i payed for a harness for my 87 through paypal on Nov. 5 2013, our last contact was a pm early December saying my harness would be shipped on the 10th. Since then i have received no harness and no further reply. i have sent several Pms and called 4 or 5 times and left messages.

Feeling like i was scammed as well
not sure where to go from here. certainly someone who deals like this should not be called a "Gold Vendor"

no updates on my situation either. a fellow member forwarded my info to them, but nothing back yet.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Interesting. I bought a lock kit from them middle of last year. Bench tested fine. Finally got around to installing it a couple of weeks ago. Worked fine until last week, now won't unlock, just lock. Tried to call them today and his voicemail is full and won't accept any messages. So I sent an email. Will have to wait to hear back from them. Let's hope that nothing is going on with him or his family that is keeping him from responding.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

no one can get ahold of him

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Same thing with mine, operation with the fob is useless.

And, I agree, hope it's not a family thing.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I have forward this to the admins

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Any Updates???

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

So I take it no one is getting their stuff from this guy, yet we keep giving him money? Cant anyone get this guy on the phone?

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Looks like he's still selling on ebay, in the past 6 months 213 positive and 4 negative. All the negatives in past 2 months. Looks like rave reviews before the last few months.

Don't think anyone on this forum is giving him any money right now.

Hate to see this, most of his products are top notch.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Thanks woog, im used to falling through the cracks tho, lol

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

LeeH...I was checking through his profile, I seen he is receiving feedback all through Dec and Jan. But he isn't leaving any. Curious

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

i just sent Liz a pm, so maybe she can do a little digging on this issue, if she has time that is, I'm sure theres a lot of work to do on this site.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I am in the same boat. Ordered speakers in late November, one communication around mid-December, now radio silent. Anyone have a direct email or phone number for them?

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Just left my 4th message. Good luck

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Too bad I was getting ready to buy one of the headlight harnesses....tried to call today and no answer.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Both members having issues please PM me again. I had some unexpected life stuff that had us away for a few weeks.
Thank you

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

They still have items listed on e-Bay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-1972-Ch...ht_1500wt_1153


Look at some of the recent feedback. A buyer mentions that they mentioned a medical excuse as being a reason for a delayed shipment.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Im now convinced he just took my money. The recent feedback on ebay shows he's still doing business. I don't know if he's still doing business here on this board, but he should be booted. Ive been nice in all my messages I've sent to him as i still want my items. But t this point i feel I've lost the $127

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Josh removed him the day I asked you to PM me. We have been aware of the situation, and that he is still on ebay but not these and other forums. I have fwd all your pms to Josh and am sure he will respond soon.
Thanks

main issue (not harping, just saying) folks use the gift option on paypal. If it is not a gift, don't use it. It has been discussed many times on the site. If you use the gift option, you are giving someone your money with little to no recourse.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I suspect that if enough people complained to PayPal about being asked to pay as a gift when he is a business they would look into it, They lose money when he does that and Paypal is all about the fees they make. I would go as far as to say you will close your Paypal if they don't look into it.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

i appreciate the response Liz, thanks! I mainly wanted people to be aware that this guy has taken my money and to see if anyone else has had the same problem.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I think hop sing may another victim. He went through ebay he said, if he gets his stuff I will be more than a little frustrated...but at least there he has some recourse anywayif he doesnt get his stuff. I wish him the best. I still want to get my stuff. I will be calling and emailing until im blue in the face or get my stuff. But I wont be nasty, I still want the items!

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Could staff close his thread in marketplace and post in there not to do business with this guy?

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

That sounds like a good idea!

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

anyone make any contact yet?

Lee

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

not that I'm aware of.fellow member hop singhas purchased stuff from him through eBayand he is already paid but has not made contact with him.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

nothing on my end, still waiting for my harness :(

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Can we get someone to scope this guy out in person?

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I've chalked this up to a bad buy and will seriously think about future purchases from small upstarts. It's time to move on.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I agree, sometimes better to stick with the big guys and let them have a little profit! But at the same time the small guy sometimes can offer better things. Its a toss up.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

I just saw on another thread where Hop Sing was contacted by this vendor, here is the thread...

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=549876&page=2


Basically the guy said they are a father/son shop and his father had a massive heart attack and landed in the hospital and he went to tend to his needs...completely understandable on my part.

Re: VH Coachworks probs
 

Yea I saw his post. I will be calling V H today and see what the status is on my purchase.
