Title: T.M. Designworks-Beware!!
Post by: Foxx4Beaver on November 14, 2014, 04:11:54 AM
Beware purchasing through these guys!!....seems I have been taken for a ride, and screwed over on a purchase I made 2 weeks ago.

http://tmdesignworks.com/

My order has been listed as "Pending" for 13 days, and they have failed to return countless e-mails and phone calls.
I tried talking with my bank this morning about possibly canceling the payment...but, they show my pay-pal account was charged the day after the order!!, and because the money already went through, they can't stop anything.....but I still have no parts, or at the very least, a returned phone call/e-mail.

My bank did say they can try to dispute it, if I chose to go that route....which I think I will if I don't hear anything by tonight.

I have used there products with great success, can't imagine why they don't respond. Have you tried a refund with PayPal

I've been using their stuff too with outstanding results...I'm running their power-lip rollers on both my bikes....I ordered a new set for the 500 because they're 2 1/2 years old and just started getting a little sloppy.

I have not talked to pay-pal yet, only my bank, and they feel confident they can get me a refund.
This was the 1st time I actually bought off their own site...everything was as simple as could be as far as ordering goes, and I was happy how the site was laid out.
I've been buying the rollers off e-bay, but they didn't have what I needed listed, so I ordered from TM directly.
Just a simple returned phone call or e-mail would make all the difference....the kicker was that I paid an extra $27 for 1 day shipping!

did they have them in stock when you called? very odd a large company like that would avoid you. i figure they have shelves stocked pretty well. since its a molded plastic piece its not like its a 1 off custom fab item.

I don't know, I never spoke to anyone. I registered an online account with them, then searched until I found the KX500 rollers, picked my color choice, added it to my "cart"...then hit "Check-out"...and paid with pay-pal. The whole ordeal only took 10mins.
There was never any note stating whether that particular roller/part# was in stock or not...so I'm assuming it would be in stock...because you'd think that I would've gotten an e-mail or note upon Check-out, stating that roller was on back-order or something, but I never did.
The last thing I want to do is dispute it...I'd rather get what I ordered, and then just call it water under the bridge.

what do they say when you call?

they don't say anything, because they don't answer my calls, or return my calls or e-mails.

If you paid through PayPal you should be able to file a "Item not received"
Unless the seller can prove that the item was delivered you should get all your money back.

yeah the bank already said that....I'd rather get the parts than my money back.

well, I got a surprise this afternoon!!
a Rep named Michelle called to inform me, that they somehow overlooked my order I put in 3+ weeks ago, and that she was personally shipping them out today free of charge...AND gave me a full refund!!

I take back all the negative comments I said about them. I'm glad I kept patient, and allowed them more time than I wanted to, to get back to me!

A-men!....honestly, I had forgotten about it the last couple days...hence the "surprise".
I was also sure to let Michelle know, that I will be a permanent customer, going directly through them for now on!
