Getting refunds SEVERALLY at Ladipo is a WISHFUL THINKING at best. Please hear me, i am not saying the claim is false but i PERSONALLY have yet to encounter it. No matter the relationship with the vendor.

The good ones will let you exchange without paying extra. Otherwise they will come up with stories why you have to pay more for the other part (even when its cheaper) especially if the part belongs to another seller.

Full REFUNDhuh? N650khuh huh huh
I think that is why we have different businesses then.

You run yours the way it suits you and i do mine the way it suits me.

I get parts on credit, I get exchanges and I get refunds.

This is not internet repair experience but real foot-on-ground experiences.

There is no point arguing out experiences....mine could be different from yours....there was a time people thought the earth was flat-based on their experience...

By the way, I just got a full refund for an Hyundai Tucson Cylinder Head only last week. Vendor sent two different sets and all had issues.

How much transaction do you do with each individual vendor per annum? Or you just pick the next available seller once in a while?

Funds returned in ladipo? Can't be ladipo
I have gotten refunds and replacements severally.

Depends on the relationship and prior agreement.

Don't let's be overly pessimistic bros...the Ladipo guys are humans too and I get my customary bottle of cold drink from them once in a while

Wrecking a premium engine manufactured in 2007 demands for the arrest and permanent detention of the driver.

What other economic sabotage can be greater than this?

This engine was designed to last for 50 years at the barest minimum.

Heck, my 1969 German engine still purrs like a kitten and it shows no signs of previous overhaul.

To OP:
Get your VIN and confirm exact engine spec in your car. Then do proper online research.
Get up and take a trip to Ladipo. Do a search. You would be surprised at what stuffs you can get.
If you cannot find in Ladipo, scout online and possibly take the offer of N650k first or 5000 USD.
Even if the N650k engine is bad (which I doubt), get a guarantee that it will work or funds would be returned. If possible, use the seller's mechanic and pay balance after completion.
Final step is to fire your driver. He can only drive cheaper Toyotas

I really feel for you

Even if it costs more , but them some sellers or sites consolidate your goods themselves and send it all out at once

I asked for details of my goods but strangely, my mails were no longer responded to.

I sent a total of 6 extra emails/reminders and not a single one was responded to.

As at this moment, there has been no communication from shoptomydoor stating the location of my goods...these are goods I have been expecting since last month.

I have paid shoptomydoor over 500 usd in the last month and had intended to do more before December.

I have over 5 different car projects already waiting for these Beetles to be cleared and I am being treated in this manner.

My business is being affected by the delay and it hurts so badly that a company can treat one of their customers as if he was just a unit number.

I urgently wish this issue would be resolved and my goods delivered to me ASAP.

Thanks

I first thought it was a dream and sent another email to verify.

The guy blatantly told me to disregard all previous communication as the information provided by shoptomydoor was wrong.

The wrong information being that they have finally agreed to ship my goods after a long delay. This implied that my goods were not shipped again!

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 1:03am On Sep 08, 2016
I waited for the weekend to arrive, expecting that tracking details of the already delayed shipment would be sent.

When I did not get any detail on Monday and Tuesday, I sent them an email asking for updates.

I was met with a shocker.

I was told to disregard all their previous promise of shipment. In short, my goods were not shipped over the weekend as promised.

The respondent even asked for shipment details AGAIN implying that he wants to start the resolution all over without having time to simply scroll down the mail trail to pick the information

Attached is their email.

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:58am On Sep 08, 2016
In order to reconfirm, I sent them an reply asking for exact details of when my goods would be shipped.

They sent an email confirming that it would be shipped the next weekend.

Date of email 31st August 2016

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:54am On Sep 08, 2016
SOME TRUTH
When they found out that I as right and they were wrong, they sent an email confirming the following:
*They received my shipment
*I have actually paid for the shipment

Kindly peruse attached mail shot for details in their own words

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:45am On Sep 08, 2016
SECOND LIE
Next they sent another email that they actually placed the goods in my unit address which was also wrong and which I discounted again in another mail to them....now back and forth has started.

I quickly sent them screenshots of my unit warehouse details showing an empty warehouse and no fabled delivery. In simple terms, my goods were not in my warehouse and not on my hands...goods that FedEx had delivered to shoptomydoor since early august still unaccounted for in September.

This is me, a customer who has just lost around 400 USD worth of goods by shoptomydoor's negligence being tossed up and down with lies...

Also attached is a screenshot of my purported warehouse with no goods on same date (even till today)

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:32am On Sep 08, 2016
FIRST LIE
Initially, they tried to blame the mistake on the possibility of the package not being labeled correctly with the unit number.(mail attached)

This was a lie because as I explained earlier, we make orders with the exact shipping address given to us by shoptomydoor which includes the unit number.

I discounted this with a copy of the shipment order from JBUGS which had the unit number and correct shoptomydoor address.

Kindly also find attached the order confirmation from JBUGS. You would be able to notice my unit number clearly stated TWICE in this order.

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:25am On Sep 08, 2016
You can imagine my shocker when I got to the workshop last week when the package finally arrived only to see just a few fuel filters and some spark plugs as the whole shipment when I was expecting door panels, full car upholstery, flared exhausts etc.

I had goods worth around 400usd missing and i did what every sane person would do. I complained to them first via that chat platform. The person on the chat platform said there was nothing she could do as I had to send them emails.

I cleaned my oil stained hands and composed the required email to them.

I got a response that the request was been looked into and my ticket number was 1377290

Date mail was sent: 30th August 2016

Promised resolution 24 hours

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:18am On Sep 08, 2016
Lo and behold,i got the first mail stating that my package would be delayed.

I understood with them and communicated same to my clients who were already expectant of their restored Cars.

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:14am On Sep 08, 2016
So I decided to make another payment on 19th of August, 2016 which was exactly 11 days after my package from JBUGS was received by shoptomydoor from FedEx.

Attached is the receipt showing their confirmation.

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 12:09am On Sep 08, 2016
In order not to cause confusion, I make payments for shipment to them on Thursdays or Fridays. This was to ensure that all the goods received by them was shipped on the next Saturday as they have promised.

I made my final purchase on the Volkswagen Beetle from jbugs.com on 3rd of August 2016 and this was delivered to them by FedEx on 9th of August 2016 and it was received by Chowora at 1.46pm USA time (please see attached).

Before this date, I have made different payments for goods and they some were already being received albeit delayed and with abrupt deliveries occuring.

In addition, I noticed that if I pay for shipment on a Friday and I received goods on the prior Wednesday Tuesday into their store, that good would not be included in the package despite my shipping bill going up, and them actually mailing me sometimes of the delivery.

I decided to wait a while before I ship the final package so as to allow them fully consolidate.

BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 11:51pm On Sep 07, 2016
Shipments started arriving into the warehouse assigned from 25th July 2016 and they kept dropping in almost on a daily basis.

The parts we were ordering were much and most orders were made as repairs showed extra needed parts.

The first shocker I got was the cost of shipping. It was excessively high and totally different from what was advertised. Due to the exigencies of the job orders, we decided to continue the usage if they could deliver goods on time.
BusinessRe: Shoptomydoor: My Bad Experience CAVEAT EMPTOR by Denn(op): 11:46pm On Sep 07, 2016
Immediately upon confirmation of account and receipt of their Unit Number, we started shipping not to the exact address which we were advised by shoptomydoor.

As customary of all re-fowarding companies with virtual addresses, the unit number is critical and we ensure that ALL our shipments had that unit number when we ship to them.

I buy my parts from different stores in the USA and used the exact same address. I usually reconfirmed from the order details sent by the stores so there was no time any of my goods were shipped without their Unit number.

Hello all

I would like to share my experience about shoptomydoor and would please want to use this medium to seek redress as shoptomydoor has decided to ruin my business and its relationship.

As some people know, I am passionate about classic cars and I have shared some restorations and details in previous posts.

I run a classic car restoration business and in order to restore to international specs, some parts are usually imported.

I have had previous negative reviews and experiences with shoptomydoor but on the instance of a close associate, we decided to use them for shipment of parts for two Volkswagen Beetles under restoration.

I opened a second account with them on 20th July 2016 which was strictly for the car restoration business in order to keep track of costs

shoptomydoor:
Hi Denn,

Kindly provide us your unit number as we do not have a customer by this name.

Thank you.
I would be providing more than your unit number.

I would be opening a thread, reporting to all relevant US agencies do everything possible to get my goods

Watch out

PS: to potential clients who are considering shoptomydoor, if they can treat someone who paid them over 500usd transaction with them in just a month the way they are treating me, your single shipments too might be at risk

Shoptomydoor despite having received over 500 usd from me in shipping costs in the last month has been dubious with my multiple shipments.

They secretly withheld a shipment and have refused to send it.

Details upcoming as it is being dragged at the moment.

I would be reporting them to the US regulatory authorities if the issue is not resolved.

I have carefully stored pictorial evidences and tracking details

Livefreeordieha:
I can tell you that without the intent to sound cocky or arrogant i think its very naive to agree with anyone to remove your thermostat..wakeup brothers/sisters NIGERIAN MECHANICS say very dumb things to you that you dont need the thermostat that the west uses it or installed it because of the extreme cold weather..FOUL FOUL FOUL!!!!during summer in most western countries is nothing compared to sokoto..they rise up to +50 degrees..and that lasts for about 3.5months..so you mean to tell me during this period they row on canoes or whathuhthe basic truth is this if you can define thermostat then you will never tolerate its removal from your machine...come to think of it the language this road sides mechanics even use..."oga/madam na dis oyinbo thing oo we go need comot am den e get d way i go juz line am direct 4u..na so all my customers wey dey ride tokunbo dey do am oo."this disgusts me because there is a reason why am exposed and it will only amount to a waste of knowledge and a slap on my age/experience if a suleiman can convince me to put my car at risk..until they can convince me otherwise i will never remove my thermostat,did i mention all the cars have had since 1998 till date i never consented to removing their thermostat and they never gave me a reason to..but at mechanic shops i always get entertained with all sorts of dramas..lol
Well said bros....but why did you quote my post when your response had no direct relationship to it.
