AZer 'The_Sauce' DO NOT DO BUSINESS

[heatseeker23]

I purchased wheels from him 10 days ago (and counting) and have had no response. I tried contacting him over the phone and text several times, as well as through paypal and no luck. I have escalated to a claim and awaiting paypal to refund my money.

He was very respondent for several weeks and once he received the money dropped off of the face of the earth.

This was my first time buying something through the forums and had a horrible experience. Hope other Audizine members are not as shady as this. Will likely never waste my time to find out.

He's a good guy. I've met him a while back at a car gathering up here in WA. something else must be up.

Mark's a good guy and has done a lot of business with a lot of people on this forum (myself included), I'm sure there's a good reason for what's going on.

That's why i felt comfortable buying from him and what struck me as odd when he disappeared. He was responsive for about a month and would send photos and updates frequently. I saw he had feedback on panjo and sold several items in the past.

Not sure what is going on. Still no response from him even to paypal.

any updates on what's happening? did you ever hear back

[heatseeker23]

Still no update. He has until Feb 18th to respond to paypal before they can close the claim.

[heatseeker23]

*Update: He created a shipping label and provided tracking information a few hours before the claim was going to be closed last night. Will update again once I receive the wheels and if any issues.

Pretty shitty to have to wait 20 days with no response, good luck but if he still hasn't contacted you I wouldn't hold my breath. The shipping label might have just been to delay the process.

[heatseeker23]

*Update: The shipment was actually picked up by fedex yesterday and now in transit. The delivery date was updated to Wednesday. Will update once again IF they arrive and if any issues.

Odd. Make sure to take a video of you opening the package once received.

My gut feeling is that he actually did ship them, but better safe than sorry.

*update: I received the wheels today but have not opened the packages since i had them shipped to my parents (require signature, mom is retired, and wanted to avoid a trip to fedex). I did have my parents open one of the boxes and send me photos and everything looks great. I will post another update once i have tires mounted and they are on installed on my car issue free.

I did finally get in touch with 'The_sauce' and he has been dealing with some personal issues, so the delay seems understandable. However, i do wish he had contacted me early to update me, i would have had no issue with waiting a few extra weeks.

*Update: I finally got around to opening the packages, getting tires mounted, and installing on my car. Everything turned out exactly as described and i am very happy with the fitment and look. Not sure if i can change the title of my thread at this point so wanted to clear 'the_ sauce's name here.
