Chromeguy24 Dave Parks Chrome express , goldmama24, etc Six weeks and still no parts Midland, North Carolina

After I filed this report, and contacted Ebay about his listing, I then requested that he simply send me the parts, done or not and that I just wanted the parts back. Another 2 weeks go by and I finally receive the parts. They were polished to a point, but will need further polishing or chroming to be usable. I don't understand why they could not be chromed. But I don't chrome so . . .  However, they were chromed when I sent them. None of this, of course, explains why it took 2+ months to return parts unchromed that I was assured would take 8 to 10 days to chrome. Dave included a note with the returned parts indicating that I had a credit on a future chrome job. But why would I send Mr. Parks any more parts to chrome given his past record? Answer . . . I wouldn't, which makes the credit worthless. Here is what I believe happened, based on the email exchanges between myself and Dave Parks. They received the parts, which basically sat for some period of time, well beyond the 8-10 day turnaround they were to take. When, several weeks later I began to inquire about the parts, I was told Dave was having problems chroming them, then I was told they were having equipment problems. It wasn't until I filed this complaint, contacted Ebay, and asked for my parts to be returned as is, that Dave figured he should do something otherwise he'd have to return the payment. So, he did a litlte polishing on the boxes, and returned them with the 'credit'. I can't prove this, and to tell you the truth, I really have washed my hands of the whole deal. I'm a professional and I expect people to deal with me in a professional manner. It's not my job to tell you how to run your business, but in my opinion this is not the way to do it. After all the complaints about parts not getting done on time, parts not being returned (the local BBB has given this man's business a grade of "F"), I would think you would have made it a point to get these back on time. If you could not plate them, then you should have returned them along with my payment. Instead, you returned the parts unplated, 2 months late, and kept my money. Does anyone really believe this is the way to run a business?

Your squeeky clean!

-"It has now been over 6 weeks and still no parts."

How do you explain that then?

I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't be making statements about something you know nothing about.  We have never stolen anyones parts!  If you have a bone to pick with me, contact me at chromeguy@bellsouth.net so that we can discuss it.  If not, don't make comments about situations you know nothing about.

I don't know who you are, but if you are going to accuse someone of stealing you should know what you are talking about first.  If I have a bone to pick with me personally, contact me at chromeguy@bellsouth.net and we can discuss it.  If not, don't post when you know nothing of the situation.

is in the business of stealing parts, not plating them.

The parts were returned to thier owner polished as best that they could be.  The parts were sanded, polished and ran three times.  The material was just so bad they would not plate with out pits and blisters.  This was explained to the owner of the parts, and that is why it was taking so long.  It is good that he bought replacement parts because they needed to be replaced.  I am not going to refund any money because of all the time that was put into the parts.  If he wants to send better parts I will plate them for him.  I have issued him a credit over the original cost I charged him.   I have pictures of the parts and the condition of the parts if anyone is interested in seeing them.  I also have pictures of LOTS of other parts I have plated that look great.  Not all metal can be made new again, we try but sometimes it just can't happen.  Email chromeguy@bellsouth.net if you want to see the parts and why they were not completed.  Thank you, Dave Parks...The Chrome Shop.  704-888-0112
