I've ordered from z1 multiple times and they are always fast as hell

Edit: I confused z1 motorsports with z1 auto. I cannot speak for z1 auto

I was meant to say over $14K USD.

Has anyone put in a formal complaint? I have with the BBB which is believe is the equivalent to fair trade here in Australia.

As the amount is not something small i am trying to do all i can remotely before my friend and i head to the states.

If anyone else has not got their parts or money please PM me the following.

Full Name
Address
Contact Number
Contact Email Address

So i can pass this onto the case officer that is handling my case there in NY.

Gobsmack,
go through this entire thread (there's more than one here) and message every member involved. There are also other car forums involve too. If you're adamant about it... go through every page of each forum and see if anyone had any luck in getting their money back, GL.

Don't expect much from the BBB. They are pretty much just a reporting agency over here and they have already given Z1 an "F" rating. Apparently though, not all that many have complained to them.

Default Waiting in line...

I know this is my first post but I thought I should eleborate on the subject at hand and warn buyers. I should have done more digging before I made a purchase with Z1 Performance with Adam.

I ordered $5000 worth of parts back in August 2013. It's now April... Asked for a refund because he said everything would ship out by December but nothing came.

Adam said he got hurt and that he can't "physically" move/walk well or lift things. He told me everything was in his "warehouse" and everything should be coming shortly. But after waiting 2 months after he said he had everything in his warehouse I asked for refund. Adam said, "Have to shift some funds around to do it, as it's not anything I had been planning for." His excact words in the email that was sent to me So I figured in a about a week I will get notification of a refund. Well guys, it's been over a month now and I live in New Jersey supposly he is in Long Island New York so I don't understand the long delay. The only way I hear from him is if I contact him and no refund yet. And judging by all the posts seems like I have to wait in line for partial payments.... Which is total BS! Great buisness skills Adam @ Z1performance.

UPDATE ALSO:

Well I also filed a suit against him like a week ago. Waiting to here on the court now. It's now the middle of June and I ordered parts from him almost a year ago, (August 2013), and I haven't gotten any parts or any part of the refund back yet.

He only lives like and hour to an hour and half away from me and has been contacting me via emails, but keeps giving me the round around saying he will mail it out tomorrow but didn't because he wasn't near a friggin post office that day and BS like that. Hence, why I also filed a suit against him. He should be served papers pretty soon like within a week or so.

Sounds like a bunch of weak lies. Hopefully you get your $$ and he gets in trouble in the courts.

back in 2011 when I ordered from z1 it turned out to be the same run a round, crazy to see they haven't changed. At that time my banks fraud dept got my $$ back pretty fast. Sorry for anyone that has to involve the courts what a hassle.

^ Yes, there are a lot of jdm parts on his website which is heaven to quality builders but hell to ebay shoppers. Aleast ebay sends out their parts local or international ^_^

Default more false lies...

Well as of the 18th of June the court mailed papers to the address I have for him.

I offered my help to him to move things along but he did not take my help. Supposely the weekend of 6/14 thru 6/15 he was suppose to go thru stuff from his warehouse and if he didn't find the clutch which we agreed on he would mail me my refund. So that weekend comes and goes so I email him again, and guess what, he didn't find the clutch for me so he said he will mail me the refund the next day, 6/19/14, with tracking.

That was last thurs. it is now tuesday and still nothing from Adam or an email. I am completely fed up with the situation. I really wanted my car done with, now a year is practically upon us. I would love to see how he will try to wiggle his way out of court. He has 35 days to respond to the serving of the papers otherwise the decision will go into default meaning the court is practically on my side because he didn't show up to the court appereance.

I hope when he does get the papers, soon I hope, it might move things faster for this refund. This lawsuit is more then what I payed for the parts I ordered from him so hopefully he would wake up and smell the coffee. When that day comes he can't be jerking me around anymore and finally give me my money that I rightfully deserve especially at this point.

I will definatly post an update when I hear from him, because I am sure I will hear from him when he gets served.

Lol, that happened twice, see quote below. Hope this isn't the case for Deesan.

Oh yeah, the bounced check thing. I forgot to mention that one. That happened to me too.

Default Update #2

So about two weeks ago I got an email from Adam @ Z1 saying he recieved my court papers and has to refer to "counseling" to review the situation and how to proceed correctly. To me this sounds like a bunch of BS.

1. If you have money to get "counseling/lawyer" why not just pay me back?

2. I think he is trying to buy some time before anything "real" happens because there is a 35 day time limit for which he can respond to the court documents being served bascially giving his plea in a way. After the 35 days the decision goes into fault and the court is basically automatically on my side. He has yet to send anything to the court.

The reason I went with him is because he was a pretty reputable guy in my car club and has done many transactions with club memebers. So I went with him and ordered my parts. Then after my incident I only came across one problem that came up with him but he resolved it pretty quickly.
