Purchased a $140.25 Greddy Catch can off Performance Auto Parts | Car Accessories | Truck Accessories - JMAutoracing.com because it looked like a legit website with a decent deal.

Worst idea ever...

they shipped it in a timely manner... I ordered on Jan 28th, it came in 3-4 days via priority mail... sweet! Sent me a tracking number... all was well...

Here is what arrived... a empty aluminum can without a drain fitting for $140...






They have a 14 day return policy, with zero hassles, zero headaches. Just email them photos of the product, get the RMA#, and ship it back. I also need to pay a 10% restocking fee, and shipping cost to send it back... whatever... problem is they're giving me the hardest damn time ever. Saying this product is directly from Greddy.

I emailed them on the 3rd of Feb saying this product is not as described I want to return it.
I get no reply... About a week later I escalate it and open a dispute through paypal. They immediately respond

Told me to close the dispute and follow the return policy... so I did... Sent them one email with photos... no reply... sent them the 2nd email with photos... no reply.... then i finally sent them a 3rd email saying if they dont respond by x time the following day I'll escalate the matter with paypal...

Their response was they need approval via greddy to return it.... WTF!?

I'll post the emails as soon as hotmail decides to work again.

Now I need to call paypal tomorrow during business hours and try and get this case open again... Since I closed it in paypal before to follow their return policy.

This is directly from their site...





/endrant

 

some assembly required...


nice gameboy though

 

Shiddy. Ask Greddy who their "Authorized Dealers" are. Easy solution.

 

haha...

seriously dude.. the assembly is easy... 2 hose fittings and a water/oil level. This is ridiculous though...

I called them this last Friday and the guy didn't even know how to answer my question. just said to email them... wtf is the point of even calling them then?!

Not even worth the effort...

I got a freddy... not a greddy

 

Worse case scenario... I give this to my friend and have him weld in baffling and make my own custom catch can...

 

thats why you use paypal when you send payment and get ur money back if they dont offer paypal **** them then

 

I did use paypal...

but it wont let me reopen a case.. at least I dont think it will let me

paypal has a number to call

 

i was being sarcastic.


thats why i went with an allstar. great pieces. and awesome fittings

 

reopen a case? why would you have already opened that case? you should be able to ONCE but if you try to again i believe it does not let you you would have to call them

 

just emailed them... heres my emails with these *******

newest on top, old on bottom.

That was our second email... I don't recall you mentioning that you need approval from Greddy.
You are the vendor/store, it is not my responsibility that you need a approval from Greddy; I paid you, not Greddy.

This is directly from your site. I have fulfilled these request, starting with my original email to you on 2/03/2012 requesting a return.
I already said I'll cover the shipping cost, all I want to do is return the product, get charged the 10% flat rate restocking fee, and refunded the remainder of $126.22.
If you guys cannot follow your own return policy, I'll be forced to open a dispute and settle it via Paypal.

Once again as our second email stated, we cannot RMA something without the approval of Greddy. Otherwise you will be stuck with store credit minus the re-stocking fee.

going with jegs this time.. going to get the moroso can

 

I have that same GameBoy lolz. seriously though that sux, they dicked a friend of mine around about a CF hood, pisses me off. I dont/wont be buying from them seeing what my friend went thru.

That is the Greddy can though... I couldve gotten it for you for a few dollars cheaper or even sat you up with a better design. I personally like the Mishimoto Catch Can. I recently sold one similar to the NRG one and can get those at a good price. Pm me if you are interested/want some prices.

l8r,
PD

 

Ive literally seen a catch can that cost about 40$ new with fittings and can be bought at local hardware store on the RLF.... IIRC it was an industrial type catch that was bought at a tractor store... not pretty but it worked!

 

Yea there on ebay also

 

That is a GReddy oil catch can. I was using that exact catch can on my 240sx. It's an older model and I believe the newer ones are round. Now I'm running a Moroso unit which seems to be a lot higher quality. Some of the JDM products are cheap.

 

I'd love some reviews of the Moroso.

 

Google thr morose.... It's used commonly on gt500s.. works Rly well for thrm

 

I love all the japanese writing on the package.

 

What really stinks is when you have to read the installation instructions. It's a good thing they have pictures in there because if it was dependant on my knowledge of Japanese I'd be in trouble.

 

It sucks that you're having a hard time returning it but forgive my ignorance... What's wrong with it? It looks like it matches their description just fine. I couldn't find anywhere that said it was supposed to have baffles or a drain fitting...

Did I miss it?

 

It's a pile of **** is what it is...

I could of saved myself $140 and welded two 1/2" OD tubes to a monster can if all I wanted was a empty can with fittings.

 

Did you at least have it over-nighted from Japan?

 

ups ground from Greddy in Irvine Ca lol... thats 1 day delivery

just sent it back to greddy with the return #
