Anyone buy from fbodymotorsports.com?

I bought $700 dollars in GFX from fbodymotorsports.com several months ago. After not receiving my order for four of five weeks i called and they said that the individual who helped me with my order was fired and the gfx not shipped, and also said that he will round everything up and ship them. Well four weeks after that....no gfx!! They are also impossible to get ahold of. Has anyone else had trouble with these guys or am i the only one?

You got screwed - I hope you put it on your CC so you can do a chargeback...

Wow, sure wish I would have read that thread before i ordered. Not sure what Im going to do now, it took me a long time to save up for those gfx...they were the only ones that had everything complete! Maybe someone on the forum can go over to their shop and rough them up a little for me

marlinman,

These guys have a LOT of threads of not shipping parts or customers waiting months and months. I suggest you start trying to get you $$ back.

Good Luck.

I didn't see this until it was too late. I filed a report a badbusinessbureau.com on fbodymotorsports.com and you should also. These people are just using our money to live on until they have to give it back. There are a lot of people they have conned.

Call your CC company and file a complaint if you used a card. That's how I got my money back. These people are theives. Stay away from them and tell everyone you know. B adman
