    Mad always ships fast on time and with out any issues. It's sad this is how they treat international buyers, what I never seem to understand is why this day and age people still send money with out protection. Why do people keep sending money with out protection.

    I can't say I won't order from MAD if I have a reasonable alternative. They always get stuff here fast and with out error. However it is ridiculous that this is a constant problem that multiple people have. People keep sending money and he keeps taking it, and it will continue until he is told otherwise. I wish the OP best of luck in recouping his money or getting the parts, but it sounds as though MAD is purposely ignoring him.

    Quoted from metallik:

    Translated: sounds like you're filing a police report, and they will give you an affidavit that you can take to your bank, at which point they'll open a case with his bank. If he doesn't answer THEM, chances are you'll get your money back by default.

    doubt that will happen. I have been screwed with wire transfers before and short of a court order, I don't think they would do anything. Your time is best spent going through proper local US channels. I sent an email to mike as well stating the support for international sellers has pushed me away from using his site. I have gotten him on the phone about a year ago and may try to call him as well.

    Quoted from Powerzone:

    One US channel I did today, and I will use every of them, but one by one! At least that will bring him in a very uncomfortable situation over a longer period.
    And please note; I am not talking about the 1200USD, I am talking about the feeling to be cheatet!
    Over the last 18 years I bought goods from around the world for more than 60'000 USD! In all that time I never had one problem!
    Till now... but for me it is not any problem to invest some time from me! Even when I have to invest further more money, I will.

    Do you happen to have a list of the parts you ordered? I am curious to see if we can locate them elsewhere for you.

    Quoted from Powerzone:

    For me it is not a waste of time.
    I take it as a experience, till now I learned a lot of new things and it is still going on. I enjoy to handle this case, also when I have to invest more money, that is not a problem for me.

    Next time I make my way to the alps, your getting a few beers on me.
