Default goquick -Byron Mcelfresh

Anyone else buy something from Goquick? I bought a SD 2x4 manifold from Byron Mcelfresh.. My check was cashed over 2 months ago but I have yet to see the manifold. Byron, did you send it yet? If so, what is the tracking number?

I bought a NIB comp 290b6 cam from him,he cut me a good deal on it,and it got here so quick I'd swear he sent it before he got my MO.

I believe him to be good guy,and seems to be a board member in good standing here,if there are problems with your deal,he'll straighten them out I'm sure.

JMO/HTH.

I've called him about it 3-4 times in the past couple months and each time he says it will be sent out the following day. I'm getting tired of calling. This was an expensive part! I know he frequents this board often, maybe he will post to give me the status.....

TTT- The issue is still not resolved. I'm getting no response to my emails or private messages.

It's been so long, I don't even need the manifold anymore. I just want my money back.

I was supposed to pick up some Grandville parts from Byron and he even gave me directions to his house (he doesnt live far from me)
A dishonest person wouldnt give directions to his house. Byron, if youre reading this sorry I havent had time to swing by and pick up those parts. If you pitched 'em, my loss.

Maybe a dishonest person wouldn't give directions to his house but I would think an HONEST person would post or reply to clear this up! I work just as hard as the next guy for a paycheck, why should he hang onto my $410 for more than 2 months? My family could have put that money to good use in that time!

Sh!t, an honest person would show more respect for the fellow working man!!!!

I am pissed off.

He caught a father/son team stealing parts off his race car.
They were relatives of the local sheriff or something.
Charged Byron for chasing after and run'n them off the road to catch'm, or something like that.

This isn't about Byron's problems, this is about him not shipping an expensive part AFTER 2 MONTHS of my check clearing!!! And no response to my emails or phone calls! Prior to my purchase, when I inquired about his parts, he always wrote back immediately.

I sent another email and left another voice mail. I probably have $20 in long distance calls to him!

Anyone have any ideas? It is becoming clearer to me that I've been ripped off.

I paid with a personal check but am now seeing the benifits of PAYPAL. If the vendor doesn't ship the part, you get your money back.

Sorry to hear about that. I know if I were to intentionally short change someone my thinking would be I sure as hell dont want them to know where I live. Unless, I moved around alot.

I know Byron pretty well, usually talk to him every couple of weeks at the least. I'll give him a ring today and have him get ahold of you guys. I know he has been extremely busy..............but I understand your concern as well. Don't worry, he isn't the kind of guy to stick anyone.

Any news from Byron? I still can't believe he doesn't post or email to clear this up. The board says he visits here every day so he must have noticed this post!!!
