Warning – do not use tm tuning

[thezoneR32]

Just letting everyone know not to order anything from TMTuning as it appears they may be in trouble and you will lose your money as I just have. I ordered a $220 part from TMTuning (R32 Pedal set) and after 3 months of excuses as to why I hadn’t received it I got this reply:

“Hello Paul,

thank you for your email and apologies for any latency responding.

We thank you for your order but we must regrettably inform you that we will not be able to fill your order at this time. Due to supply changes in our market and company restructure the order shipment will be delayed longer than we would consider acceptable. Therefore, unfortunately the only thing we can suggest at this time is to look for another dealer and or shop to order the item in question - and or - return to us at a later time when the new site and product selection has been re-established.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we are sorry for the trouble, hopefully we can make it up to you next time!
Thank you again for your understanding,

TM Tuning”

No mention of refunding the $220 and no response to my multiple demands for a refund.

Of course I can’t make a paypal claim now because its outside 45 days. I guess this was bound to happen eventually given how much gear I buy from overseas. Makes me really angry.

Be Warned!

Please pass this on to any other VW, AUDi or BMW or forums in the world you might be a member of. I have posted on VWWatercooled, VWGolfnet, golfmkv.com, vwvortex and r32OC.com.

What a shame, they used to be very good. I bought a few items from them before and had no problem.
When a company is having financial difficulty, your chance of getting refund from them is very slim. I'm sorry you're one of the many victim under this situation, luckily $220 is not a lot of money.

Its no compensation, but you probably arent the worst burnt customer if they are going under

Sorry about your losing $220, but I thank you for warning all of us. Always appreciate the good people on this forum.

Here is the email I received from them today, they are prolonging the agony .....


"we are doing everything possible to supply your order shipment as soon as possible. We are asking that you please be a bit more patient. Your request is not ignored or forgotten.



You will receive another update shortly.


Thank you again for your patience,
TMTuning"

Finally it looks like its all over with TM Tuning. The home page of the site is down. Bye bye to hard earned cash

That sucks, sorry.

ECS splashed my cc details all over the web, so they are not an option for me anymore either.

Oh. Do tell.
You mean they published your credit card number online ?

See for yourself.

While its impossible to prove the relation, my card was used to buy flights from heathrow airport and ~$1500 spent on a spanish website within a few weeks of this hacking.

ANZ were good enough to give me my money back though.

I thought that ECS were very reputable?? You would expect this sort of thing to happen dealing with some 3rd world trader
