Default First upgrades ordered

So put in an order this morning for a JoeZ intake pipe and a Toms filter cant wait for them to show up. I ordered from vip, anyone have experience ordering from them? Any idea on how long it takes for them to process orders?

Vip was pretty slow when I ordered stuff from them. I purchased my Joe Z pipe and aFe filter from L-Tuned parts and I got them within a couple days.

You might want to give Vip a call to confirm your purchase!

Sorry, but you have just given money to a crooked business. My saga continues on obby's link.

My obvious question is when will CL institute some sort of corrective action against VIP Auto Salon, to prevent new members from being misled, as you have now been.

Well I just called them and told them to cancel the order, calling my credit card company and letting them know also.

[Update]
So credit card company called them and was able to get them to refund the order and credit the $ right back to my account!

Doh, called Louis and he said they have no intakes in stock, will have a few blue ones next week and black ones ( which is what I wanted ) in two weeks. He also said the toms filter is one time use, I thought you could clean it?

Yeah, more than likely would not have gotten it back if the cc company didn't call them with me on the line, guy kept trying to play stupid and finally said fine yes i authorize you to charge back so :-D, just sucks to wait, was hoping for a weekend project to install it but oh well.

Tracking numbers are rarely updated real time. Wait until tonight; your tracking number should probably work by then. If there are issues, call them back. They run a legitimate business. You have nothing to worry about.
