I think that Robert from www.rotaryshack.com ripped me off a used rear end for my RX-7. I sent him $400 dollars worth of money orders and he sent me a confirmation that he recieved my money on the 5th of April, it is now the 4th of May and I haven't seen my LSD yet. He said he was going to ship via freight on the 6th of April and get me a tracking number shortly after. I called him in about a week and he said that he left it at the pickup but they wouldn't take it because, "it was leaking gear oil out of the breather hole." He said he was gonna take it back drain it and resend it. Then a few days after that I called him and he said that nobody at the UPS place could get him a tracking number because there wasn't a manager. Since then I've sent 2-3 e-mails and called him on his shop and cell phones, left messages on both and I've still yet to get a reply or a tracking #. I am getting pissed off that he just ignores me(and cuz my 7 doesn't move ). Any business experiences with him by other members would like to be heard. Please post.

you should feel lucky bro. I waited 4 months for a carbeurator and intake manifold, and then another 1.5 months for a fuel pressure regulator, and another month for various other odds and ends.



He didnt rip you off. And if you post **** about him it may **** him off, THEN you wont recieve your parts FOR SURE.



He is a very honest and knowledgable guy, UNTIL IT COMES TO SHIPPING. He is like the worst PR guy i KNOW about shipping. He lies out his *** about shipping dates and times.



you WILL get your stuff, but don't nag him it may make him irratable.



I'm not saying he's right in doing this, i've tried to tell him numerous times that he's gonna get in big legal trouble ******* around like he is. I'm not saying i agree w/ him, i'm just telling you thats how he is.



Apart from shipping (or lack thereof), i have nothing but good things to say about Robert. He has helped me for endless hours over the phone to get my car up and running and in tune.

the rearend is in route, after i dropped it off to the shippers the second time i was called after 1 week and was told that the rear end was longer than a standard shipping pallet and it couldnt be shipped like that...they told me the rear end would surely be damaged if it was shipped like that. then i had to pay x-tra money to get a custom pallet made..... you wouldnt believe what they charged me for that!! anyways i just got back from the NHRA race back east and will get you a tracking # as soon as i get one , but dont worry , its on its way!! sorry for the inconvience....

Alright, to clear up all confusion, I apologize to Robert@Rotaryshack.com! C'mon guys, if your your only car (RX-7) was sitting in field for 2 months, u'd be kinda cranky too.

what's wrong with u, i cant beleive im readin g this, the guy ordered something, and he should reveive yis ****, a whole month. Just because u like being herbed by this guy doesnt mean he has too. Hes is providing a serive and the guy paid up front.



Would the guy like it if it was the other way around, he sent him the LSD then he took 4 months to pay him. I DONT THINK SO!. that would never happen. SO stop defending people.



He paid he should receive what he paid for!



WTF dude

Do not apologize, you have a right to be angry.
