What i'm wondering is if there is some sort of underlying motive from other posters that have posted in here? They seem to be a bit riled up and taking things up a notch. Past beef or something wth? The OP brought emails/pm's to light on the open forum to get a more prompt response and action from Z1, so let it be. This thread is about the OP's issue with Z1 Performance and not some endorsement or advertisement for another vendor. There's no point in flaming Z1 Performance and then to add insult to injury by pushing other vendors on to the OP.
ur post makes no sense at all

+1. And neither do many of the posts from the vendor. As far as pushing another vendor, my only purpose is to make sure folks realize that there are two entirely separate Z1 vendors and this thread is about problems with the one in NY, not in Georgia. I have no past experience with the Z1 Store in NY other than multiple thread in multiple forums from folks with delivery issues. I have multiple experiences with Z1 Motorsports, and they have been outstanding, although I will admit that they did not involve parts from Japan.

You don't understand English or something? My post seems pretty clear to me. The buyer has an issue with a seller so just leave it at that. It's one thing to make a clear distinction on which Z1 the OP is posting about, but the way certain posters recommended the other Z1 was sort of tasteless. That's the reason why I asked the question if there was some sort of past beef or something, which was the cause for the tone in which the recommendations are being made. That is all... or do you need this post in ENGRISH as well.

sorry browndogg, but this dudes right, after waiting 7 fu*king months for a TK shift ****, only to have my money reimbursed this past Friday, yeah the issue was resolved, but I wanted a shift ****, not the money, after reading many other posts with the same exact shipping issue as mine, I'll go ahead and post this. I can only recommend people to stay away from the company, they dont have a good business ethic, they gave me the runaround between saying that it was at customs, then that it had cleared customs in LA, back to oh we dont know where the package is, really?? I get **** from overseas all the damn time, doesnt take that long, **** I ordered a pair of Bride seats a month after the shift **** and I got the seats within 2 months...this company sucks, after reading all these complaints I just regret ever trusting them, will never deal with em again, just giving my feedback so no one makes the same mistake I did and order from you, the way I see it, Z1 Auto was at one time a great shop, a great vendor to buy from, once they got big, they stopped caring about us, the consumers, and thats why they make those retarded *** comments such as "we're not going away" lmao, wow you say that to a customer that isnt even pissed, but just wants to know where their **** is? youre gonna sit there and say its shipping thats slow? and if your supplier does mess up then compensate the customer for it, give them a credit off the item, dont just ask if they wanna wait or cancel the order, those were the options I received at least, anyway, like I said at the beginning of my post, I recommend anyone and everyone to stay away from this company...

I'm not sure what the exact purpose of the forums is since it seems to serve many purposes in the plethora of sub forums it has.

In this case (thread), my intuition tells me that the OP is trying to resolve his matter with Z1 Performance, which is why he aired out pm's and personal emails on the open forum for Adam to address so that he could be heard. With that in mind, I think that the OP did the right thing if he feels that he could receive a more prompt response and action from Z1 from doing this. However, I don't see how it is appropriate or professional to bash Z1 Performance and to make it even worse, especially by shamelessly plugging another vendor within this thread.

If his second agenda is to see if others had similar experiences and is trying to help future members from having the same experience; then I can see the logic in that as well. I am not taking that away from the OP or those that had issues with Z1. However, once again I don't agree with shamelessly plugging another vendor within this thread. Some of the comments seem to have some sort of motive with an agenda behind it which is why I asked for clarification.

I'm all for helping members out and resolving problems. Negative comments from those that shared the same type of experience with Z1 are fine since that is just and warranted. I don't see the logic in the shameless plugs. That's the point i'm trying to make.

LOL...okay. I'm not sure if the browndogg comment was supposed to be funny or smart, but it did neither haha.

I can understand you posting within this thread with your complaints if you had this customer experience with Z1 as it is warranted. I'm not taking that away from you. Just read my above post in response to "saywat?" to see what i'm trying to get at.

You're the only one that seems to miss the point. Boy this forum has lost some intelligence. Lol I just said that above if you had used comprehension skills to really read.

Fair enough. It's easy to associate avatars to users and sn's seem to be washed out lol. For the longest time I thought TXSTYLE was tsxstyle.

lol yeah but regardless like I said, just meant it out of respect to you cuz I kno youre one of the og members on here, but anyways, I know z1 was once a respected vendor and very legit, but after my own experience with them, they seem like every other company out there, they are good to customers for a while, and once they make a name for themselves they forget WHO gave them that name...it wasnt just all the people buying 5-10K worth of parts, but us, the people buying $3-500 worth of parts, it all adds up, and they shouldnt be saying things like "we're not going anywhere" as mentioned before, IMO if you, or your suppliers, **** up, its not the customers fault, and you should take care of the customer for the **** up...

Ok guys... be serious now. What do you guys have that you had to wait for? Look back to the guys that have Z1auto in there sigs, they all had to wait for everything they have. Things aren't easy to get as they once were, people live in a "Buy it now" world. Things in Japan are as bad or worse than here so getting things out of there are now harder than ever.If he's the middle man and he gets jerked around... how do you people blame him? You guys haven't been on long enough to say that they got "big" and forgot about the consumer. I have received all my parts from day 1... to call these guys thieve's is on a whole new level of stupid. The thief takes your money and never gets you the part you ordered, something Z1auto has yet to do and when that time comes... They'll be banned from this forum.

I dont think anyone called them thieves Flo, the issue with me was basically, I ordered the shift **** a hell of a long time ago, in between that time period, about 7 months, I ordered Bride seats, Takata harnesses, and various other parts from other vendors, which came directly from Japan as well, the options given to me were cancel the order, or keep waiting, I thought that was pretty shitty, a legit vendor would've offered $50 off or something for the inconvinience, not that $50 is a big deal, but it would still make me, the customer, feel like I am being cared for...it is like you said, he is the middle man, but how is that the customer's problem? They ordered something from a shop, doesn't matter how the shop gets it as long as they get it to me within the set time frame, you really can't be on the side of the vendor on this one, it's like any other business, or what, if you order a burger at a restaurant with cheese and they put no cheese, does the manager blame the employee that ****ed up or does he simply go and get you a burger with cheese? That's the way I see it...

Flo-rida - Never is a long time, in fact it is to infinity and beyond. When should "never" occur when a vendor has your money and you don't have your parts? Just curious...

Eso es bueno Antonio, ojala y tu problema con ellos se resuelva pronto y de buena manera, si es que comente yo es para que otros compradores se dieran cuenta y esten advertidos de lo que paso con mi sitacion, y esten dispuestos a esperar tanto tiempo

A lot of the time, these shops don't even make $50 on the parts they sell. There's so little margin for them since the exchange rate is so bad and they're having to compete with all these grey marketers or online only companies that have no overhead costs and are ok with making a few points on a product.

Exactly, not sure where he is going with this.

My main problem was that I was charged for parts they never had in stock, I feel you should only be charged when items ship. I wanted months and tried several time to get a refund, but could not. So if I could not get a refund, means my money was spent or this company is broke.
