Thumbs down Buyer beware

Made a purchase for head bolts, balance shafts, and fuel return system from OTTP. Made this purchase while I was serving in Afghanistan so being there I was not able the package until I was back state side, get home open box and there are no balance shafts. So I call Josh says he will look into. Placed the order in October of last year, Back state side in January. Emailed, texted, and called, was told they were on there way and he would email the tracking number, and as you can guess no email. Well here it is the middle of April and cannot get any response from Josh. So if you are thinking about doing business with OTTP I advise that you spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

It's sad to see how OTTP has slumped to this. I remember when they first got going they had great reviews and was very active in this community.

I never knew anything about this BYT guy. I guess that's somebody that came along between the time I had my LSJ and now owning an LNF.

Never knew Nick but it appears he got hooked on drugs and got busted, thats a shame what drugs can do to people. OTT on the other hand just has ? sad? business ethics and practices.

well people gotta start somewhere.

I just wish he was more business oriented but we should get his side of the story before we jump to too many conclusions.

Well like I said they started off great. I would say this would be their "finish" with this community though.

With OTT being driving distance, Josh was able to hook me up with some parts real quick.
As Hiro said, his shop is a huge barn building in his backyard.

Yeah, it seems as if Josh has fallen off the face of the Earth as of now, but he has disappeared for awhile before and has come back. We'll see what happens this time.

It is bad that this is the second negative review in like a week.

I would love for him to have my business since he's a hell of a lot closer than ZZP, but he definitely is hard to get a hold of.

Less than pleased with OTTP over one transaction, and an attempt at a few others.

Sorry to hear you're getting the typical run-around.

I wish there was something that we can do. I'm still waiting on parts I ordered last September. I did get in contact with Josh about a few weeks ago and it seemed he had befallen hard times, but still it's seems damn near impossible to get a hold of them or what you ordered. I'm at the point where I want a refund.

No problems dealing with OTTP, ordered quite a few things from Josh. Always answers his phone.
