Hello Friends,
This post is not about bashing and ranting about people, but JUST WANT TO WARN innocent folks with a passion of Ford Thunderbirds, like i have,about certain dishonest practices of suppliers who are also members on the Nest. I recently overhauled my complete suspension , and upon removing my front coils, noticed both front were broken. Since the dealer no longer manufacturers these, my next option was to buy a set of H&R from
"Thunderbird Specialties" . Once ordered and payed through Paypal, i received an e mail from Philip Wegener, saying they were not in stock, and would find out leed time to fabricate in Germany and ship. He also mentioned if i didn't want to wait, he would refund me. I decided to wait a day, hoping i would get them quickly. Our summer season here in Quebec is short, and didn't want to ride the car only in the fall. He then got back to me with a waiting period, which i didn't like. I messaged him asking for a refund, and mentioned i will look into used parts if i had to, since i install them myself, replacing them again next winter while in storage wouldn't bother me. He started ranting about how i shouldn't install used parts, etc.. he agreed to refund my purchase on paypal, and mentioned it might take up to 10 days to receive. After a month of waiting, i emailed him, but no reply. Finally filed a claim with Paypal , with sending copies of our e mails, to finally winning my case, and getting full refund.
personally, i've bought thousands of dollars worth of parts off suppliers on the web, and never experienced a dishonest person like Mr. Wegener. Never will he ever see me as a client again. Its a shame it had to come to that. BUYERS BEWARE ! By the way,A week later, i found the same set of H&R coils on e bay, for $100 cheaper . They are installed and working out great.
This is my opinion of this person and his business, it my not be yours, and i respect that.
Cheers !
