Street Toys, are they still around?
« on: December 22, 2010, 07:22:24 pm »
Does anybody know it Street Toys are still in business?  I ordered a race pipe from them some time ago
(11-9-10) and have not heard a word from them.  I have sent several emails with no reply.  Hope I didn't get hosed out of $178.  I have till tomorrow to dispute the charge with paypal.  Just wondering if anyone has done business with them within the last month or so.

Good luck. I ordered something from them and got something else. He had a very iffy reputation on tdiclub. He seems to be an alright guy at times. Maybe he is just overwhelmed. I don't know what workmanship is like lately, but in the past it was very shoddy.

I would dispute regardless.. No email back means he looses business for being a ***.

T'were me I'd file that Paypal dispute post-haste...you can always place your order again if there's been a misunderstanding, but once time runs out with Paypal you're hosed.  ;)

x2 on this one.. and like he said, better to have your money back, and order again, rather than be screwed..
