Problems with order

[Turningturbo25]

Hey i ordered some parts through taboo...I emailed them like a 1000 time and they havent emailed me back at all. I ordered the parts back on the 24th of october...I dont think taboo would try to screw me out of $60...Is there anything i can do to contact them besides email?

my buddy had the same problem w/ taboo, took him like 4+ weeks to get the billet shift fork. he tried emailing numerous times and it took taboo forever to respond. and forget about tryin to get a tracking number, cause he wont give it to you. no way to run a business as far as i'm concerned, i'll probably never buy anything from taboo. just my .02

Martin (Taboo) does all of the work for his shop in his spare time - he's not making a profit off of it, he's just doing it as a service to the DSM community. He'll tell you himself he's not running a business, just makin' some parts that make life easier for his fellow DSMer's.
It takes him forever to respond because of the amount of email he gets on a daily basis - can you imagine the sheer volume he must get?
At any rate, he's not tryin' to screw anybody over - I think you'll be pleased when you get your order, he does top-notch work.

Yeah my friend had the same issue with the biillet fork but he did get it and it is an awesome piece, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure he is a very busy guy, and he may not respond to your emails, but he is very well respected in the dsm community. I haven't heard of anybody getting screwed over by him.

well i am not bashing on the dude i am just looking to get my toe link eliminator sometime soon... I was just wondering is there is a better way to contact him..

 

[Defiant]

Normally, this kind of thread is closed. However, since it's Taboo, and since he was once a friend here (although I don't much know him), and since his DSMtalk has died, anyone with info please add on.

But no bashing.

Martin gets a HUGE volume of email from simple people who doesn't know how to search for simple questions that have simple answers online. He got like 500+ emails one day. This causes his mailbox to flood which in turns makes his PC crap. It is frustrating. I ordered a stage 2 head from him and he responded when he could. Have patience and you WILL get your part I assure you. Very top notch work and I couldn't ask for any better!

 

[Turningturbo25]

well its almost been 6 weeks.....

 

[krummel45]

i have not delt whith his companey but if he knows that there will probably be a long waiting period he should warn his customers.

 

[Turningturbo25]

I just wish there was a way to know if he even knows i ordered it?

This is why you place orders over the phone and make sure they don't charge your CC until you get a tracking number.

That's not possible.

No company would ship a product before charging you, that's crazy. I know I wouldn't ship you a part if I didn't see if you had any money first.

 

[Turningturbo25]

Plus taboo dosent have a phone number listed on their site....

 

[Turningturbo25]

is there a board martin is on?

 

[Dallas J]

One reason some people dont give out tracking numbers (RRE is one of those people) is because people can change the shipping address on it. It makes it easier for people to scam them out of money, and aparently it has happend to them before. Hence the reason for not giving the tracking number

I think Taboo(Martin) is on one of the Socal DSM boards. But I dont know for sure.

Martin was a moderator on DSMTalk. He lives in Des Moines, Iowa so check for local dsm clubs there.

 

[Turningturbo25]

I know, I was just replying about someone who said it was bad business to not give a tracking number.

[EcliptikIlluzio]

Email him and put a subject that will catch his attention. That is what i had to do.

 

[Turningturbo25]

I put something new everyday.....What did you put "f@cking give me my shit"? or "Ghey porn"?
