Warning about an unreliable Polish BMW parts supplier !!!
I don't like BMW a lot and normally I
wouldn't touch one but I had to help an older relative to fix some electric
problems on his 2005 BMW523i.
The problem was that the eyebrow
lights on one side had stopped working. The eyebrow lights are the orange LED
position lights which wrap
around the corners and continue above the
headlights. One was partially dead and there were no part numbers on the
components so it couldn't
be fixed and had to be replaced. Since it is a part of the headlight
assembly it couldn't be bought as a separate part either as an original part or
from
a scrap yard other that with the headlight and then for big bucks. However on line we
found this web site,
bmweyebrows.com,
which sells them in
several different colors for not a very low price but decent. So I ordered a pair and paid about $57 and
right away got an order
acknowledgement.
And
then, nothing. No shipping info, no replies to several emails I sent and most important no
delivery.
The payment was done to the Polish
payservice
PayU which will not issue a
refund unless the seller has approved it. So this was a $57 total loss.
So for
your own good, stay away from this seller !!
Update:
Almost to the day two months after the order was done I got an email from the Polish
payservice saying that the payment will be refunded
which also happened a few days
later.
And low and behold, the next day the items showed up in my mailbox, so thank you
qb_solutions for the free
items, but it was a little too late.
Further more, today March 13, more than four months after the order was done, I
got an email from the supplier
saying that they had finshed processing my order.
