The thing is I offered to fix it for no cost at all even though I cant be held responsible for that. But instead he insists on trying to ruin me which isn't going well, he should have taken the free offer to repair.

I was going to scoobasteve it but he stole my cf cubby panel/ acrylic cubby panel design idea by buying mine and copying it.
He also is starting to get some bad feedback about turn around time and your local so I can just drop it off and pick it up when ever its ready. If its ok thats the thing I dont want to intrude.
No weave in particular the customer says, what ever looks great. Also would I need to clear coat it? Or is it ready to put on w/ out premature fading in the future?

Thanks

^ Oh no...
Delta (yea, you changed your company name to iKona because of the negative image 'Delta Customs' earned),
It's time to start refunding people's money. You're in over your head. You're asking other people (Nebster) for help to bail you out.
There are people here who are ready to hop a plane and come knocking on your door (or at least take you to court).
You need to man up and accept that this whole Delta Customs/iKona thing isn't gonna work out.
Banning you for poor business practices and outright scamming of ScionLife members would only protect you from all of your unhappy customers contacting you. Quite frankly, that's an easy way out and you're in too deep to deserve that.
It's time to stop defending yourself, blaming the post office for losing packages, hiding behind the 'it's a core exchange' excuse and give these people their money back.

Just a check in. After i started posting things here, iKONA sent me a tracking number (USPS) for the keyhole and bumper plugs that I was expecting. It was my first contact with him since the sale. According to the tracking number, it got into the mail on the 9th, but I don't have it and of course I can't see when it's supposed to come since it's USPS. I will have a full report here if and when they show up, but like I said, nothing yet.

Final words.. own up, and pack up your business... refund the monies that is owned... and walk away.. Leave with what dignity you have left.
Everyday i see this thread pop up, its time for it to die, and the only person that can do that is YOU!!

John, you have to understand that you have lost any shred of trust and integrity that you once had here.
As Rage and I have said, and will continue to say; your best way out of this is to issue the refunds to those who have not received anything and go from there.
I truly believe that Delta Customs/iKona has gone as far as it can.
I know it sucks, but you need to realize that offering to fix something that should've been right the first time isn't going to fix everything.
You know you're in trouble when your PMs to other members here are laughed at. Hell... nobody even bit on your 'free plugs' thread in GL. People don't want your products, even if you're giving it away.
I hope you seriously consider your current path and make the necessary changes to it.

iKONA.... just reading some of the stuff on this thread... I've been selling on eBay for a long time...and using that as an example for you.... It will ALWAYS make your customers happy AND give you a 100% great rep if you send each and every order shipped in a mannor that YOU and your BUYER can track its progress. and/or be insured. I guarentee you that every single buyer is willing to pay a couple extra bucks if they know their order can be tracked in transit. This is NOT a bash against you in any way. I've been a seller there for a long time and that will keep your customers happy and cover your own ___ (CYA) by you being able to prove if something was sent.

I too sell a ton of stuff on eBay. If someone buys something before 4PM CST M-F (3PM Sat), It ships the same day, with Insurance and Tracking, which I usually pay out of pocket for. This is why I have 100% Feedback...buyers first over everything. Tats ma matto!

If teh guy doesnt wanna cooperate i wont cry about it or continue to ask. If eh wants it fixed hell let me know. You guys need to be able to see both sides of the deal here which most of you only care to see one side. The bad side. Believe and think what you guys want. Near 350 customers this year alone seems pretty good to me being a 1 man show that I am. I made my mistakes and Im trying to fix it. Enough said. I'm gonna stop saying attention to this thread and focus more on my ebay acc, the rest of my SL threads, new products, customers that PM me, and expanding key hole plugs to other cars. Catch me on PMs guys.

Yea. I'm there too, guys.
100% ebay feedback, tons of successful Craigslist transactions and some successful ones here.
It's not hard to send something out, and I have NEVER had a problem with USPS.
