Roof Rack / Anyone know what happened to grantco

[handeeman]

I am getting worried about grantco. I ordered a roof rack from him back in June. Unfortunately, when he received it, it was damaged. He has been super about sending me PMs on his progress in finding a replacement for me. The last PM I got from him was 8-03-09. He appologized for the delay and said it would go out in two days. Nothing since. He had stated he was working two jobs and had lost internet for a few days.

At this point you might want to consider getting a refund so that you're not out double if you pick up kpaske's stuff.

I also ordered one from GrantCo and had exactly the same story and his last reply was also in the beginning of August. Back then he said he would send me a 100 dollars refund for a delay withing next several days and the rack that very week but I haven't heard from him since then. No replies to email and no replies to PMs.

I have started a search for another roof rack about a week and a half ago when I saw kpaske's thread on saving his vx from a crusher and sent some replies on other threads as well.

If anyone knows Grant - ask him to check his PMs and emails

Well, if the first two guys don't take it then I'll take it. I have already bought one, at least I thought I bought it as I paid for it but never got it so I'm back to looking for one again.

Just to let you know, I PMd this seller a while back with no reply. Hopefully he will let us know if the roof rack is still for sale... but i'm starting to doubt it

He also told me he would be refunding $100.00 for the delay. I told him not to, but flipping some to site support would make me very happy.

For Moncha - Think we could add a section to the site somewhere that lists sellers to be wary of (both companies and individuals)? Obviously we'd have to be judicious in who we put on the list, but I think situations like this where you have multiple (potential) scams is a good qualifier.

For those of us that follow the forum on a regular basis we know who the sketchy guys are, but it might be useful to have a warning for newcomers.

Just a thought.

Hey vt_maverick, that's a good idea. However the liability issues may be tough. My feelings on grantco are that he may be really having a hard time right now. Working two jobs etc. I would really like to see mikemol and I get the racks we ordered.

Yeah, would definitely have to be carefully thought out. Maybe a minimum number of members involved with a maximum allowable grace period for tough times? Maybe Moncha PMs/emails the person before adding them to the list to give them an opportunity to defend themselves?

I dunno...

I'll have to think about this one... Liability is the primary thought but, it may be feasible to do something. I already have a good/bad dealer experience at the bottom of this section ---> http://www.vehicross.info/modules.php?name=Reviews

That is still my feeling, maybe I'm too easy, but I like to think the positive. I do not think anything bad about grantco, I actually feel more concern. I'm not worried about my money. I just really would like a roof rack in good condition. Oh and I would like to see mikemol get his rack too.
