Has anyone that ordered key hole plugs from i-kona received their order?! I can't get any response from him and I haven't received anything. My payment went through though.. figures.

 

do i smell scam?? that sucks

 

dam and i was about to order a set.. lol

when did you place your order?

 

i would say x2 but i wasn't planning on ordering them for some time (trunk)

 

If you payed through paypal you can always contact paypal about getting your money back.

 

well hes on my myspace...i talk to him all the time...so if you like check out my myspace friends...you should be able to contact him there....his myspace is i-kona in my friends list

within 45 days

 

I sent him about $45 total, partly by mistake because I accidentally placed two orders.. I placed an order but forgot to specify color, and thinking that I had received an error, made another order with color specified.

I sent e-mails and a PM about the mistake about two weeks ago, but have not received a reply.

Have not received anything I ordered, either.

He seemed like a nice guy, I hope we get our stuff.

 

I PM'd him last week and he replied on the 21st saying that they should ship by the end of the week. I just PM'd him again, I will let you all know if he responds.

 

I got my set back on the 15th, they fit perfect....didn't use adhesive and 2 days later lost one of them. Paint wasn't perfect , like the handled them before the paint fully cured, but you really had to be close to notice it.

 

he got vendor status over on g5club.net... don't think he should have but here's his thread:

http://g5club.net/forum/showthread.p...5451#post85451

he states there's some family problem but if you read through, I constantly ask him for pics of the products he's selling and he always has an excuse...

good luck..!

 

He's a good guy and I was the very first to order. Didn't get mine until last week.

They were the wrong color. He shipped me new ones the correct color no charge and replied to my e-mails pretty quickly. I'm sure yours will come in. I would try to contact him by e-mailing:

johnperez@i-kona.com

His name is John Perez...s

 

I finally received a response from him this morning. He did state he had a family emergency. Still, my order should have gone out before this. I'm hoping to receive my order.. eventually.

Thanks all for at least letting me know I'm not the only one left waiting.

 

yea he said in the forum in this link

"Hey guys, I just wanted to leave an update. I wont be able to respond to Emails or PMs until wed/Thursday at the latest. Right now Im in Michigan because my dads sister just passed away. She was 94 years old and was super healthy but they said the heart just broke down and stopped. So until then Im with my dad here, Ill be able to respond to pms pertaining new orders and or general questions but I cant give updates on orders and such since I don't have any files with me and or my work computer. Just my brothers lap top that I borrowed for the few days Ill be gone. I got in Michigan not too long ago, just a few hrs just to meet up with my step sisters, nieces and nephews. I know I'm already delayed a few days in trunk plugs but I will still be able to send out a second wave of orders by the end of this week. Just please understand guys. Thanks!


John"

 

He responded to my PM within 24 hours of me sending it, he had a similar response about the family member, and that he tried to ship a group of them, but the money hasn't been taken out of his account for them, so he suspects a problem from the delivery and is going to take care of it when he gets back. He sounds like a sincere guy, and I'm sure it will all work out.

 

Yeah he's been over at g5club a lot more than here.

 

just take your key hole out, paint it and dont use your key.. it stays flawless

 

Anybody had any word on this??

 

as of now we have soft deleted his threads over on g5club until he responds. im sure its not a scam, but its probably not the best way to do business...

 

I got mine after more than a month, but the "orange" was not Sunburst Metallic Orange.. looks like the spray can "GM Orange" you would fine at your local auto store.

 

Here's the last PM i received from him yesterday. I personally have already started a paypal dispute and escalated it.

Alright, so, I haven't heard back from you in a couple of days, and I see the thread about these plugs has been deleted on g5club.net

So, I'm escalating the pay-pal claim.

I'll cancel it when I get product, but until then, I'm going to start fighting for my money back.

Hey bud, I talked to cruizin, he said its just gonna be like this until he gets his set and sees others are getting theirs, Im going to have a tracking for you for tomorrow guaranteed, if not Ill refund you your money with all the plugs too.

Sorry for not responding sooner Ive been trying to catch up on all orders.

 

Dang that sucks for you

 

WHAT THE ****

This guy is giving us all excuses, yet, TODAY HE IS STILL TRYING TO SELL THESE ON ANOTHER FORUM!!!

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8506

Go to the last page and you will see that he has made a post TODAY acting like he is ready to start filling orders, when we're still waiting in the cold, AND receiving wrong color plugs!!

What do you guys think??

 

damn, sucks that this guy isn't running things very well, I'm very interest in making a purchase but it's causing me to hesitate

 

If you guys paid through pay-pal like I did, start your disputes now. Escalate them to a claim immediately. This guy seems like he's out to scam people like something fierce, being on 4+ forums, taking orders, and BARELY sending out ANY plugs.

It's pure bullshit.
