OOP'S, Shaun did it again. Somebody please kick me in the butt for not checking here first before doing business with these people.
On 4/3/06 I did a search for a 3.9 Doge Motor for my '96 Dakota. I got several quotes back, and guess what? Mid-City had just what I was looking for, 43,000 miles, all tested and ready to go for 745.00 including shipping. I placed an order for said motor on 4/4/06. (check by phone
When I did not receive any conformation on the Faxed Shipping Info/Check Conformation Forms on 4/6/06 I got nervous and checked the company out on the Milwaukee B.B.B. Website, (not good), and on usacomplaints.com, (even worse).
I decided I did not want to deal with this company at all, and called them in the afternoon of 4/6/06 to cancel the order. I got transferred to Shaun Brayden, he said he turned it over to the Business Dept., and they would take care of it. When I asked about my refund, he replied, I got nothing to do with it, and they would take care of it
.
When I asked for a direct line or an ext.# for them, he got real ugly and shouted, 106, then hung up on me.
When I called 106 that afternoon I got Shaun again, (surprise), this time he seemed really pissed and yelled, I told you they'd take care of it, they will probably send a check on Friday, (4/7/06).
After countless un-returned calls, and 3 word sentence responses to e-mails, they sent me a check for $375.00, that's $2.50 more than half of what I gave them. GOOD SCAM Shaun!
When I e-mailed them, questioning the amount of the refund, I got a response telling me about their 25% cancellation/restocking fee. Good scam # 2.
On 4/24/06 I filed a complaint with the Milwaukee Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
I laid low for a couple of weeks, while I talked to a Lawyer and found that it would not be cost effective to take him them to court. Even Small Claims would mean time off from work, and a five hour drive to and from Milwaukee. Shaun and the rest of his gang of thieves realize this and are laughing all the way to the Bank.
On 5/8 I decided to try to get the other 25%, or $183.75, that he still owes me.
I composed a very sarcastic e-mail, walking him through the math (He will call you back only if you piss him off). The response to my e-mail was interesting to say the least. You are correct, we made a mistake. We will refund the difference. Five minutes after reading this response my phone rang. It was one pissed off Shaun Brayden. He had no clue what the order had been for, or whether it was a cancellation or return. He flew into a tirade. I just listened, until he called me a, stupid Jethro Bodine from Michigan. Then I slipped up, got mad, and called him a Fuc&^%$ scam artist. Nobody wants to hear what I heard after that, (I think he was slobbering). After about a minute he ran out of cuss words and hung up on me. During all of this he insisted that he had paid me in full. So there goes that $183.75but I'LL BE BACK Shaun!
