Buyer Beware: Bassin Brandon/Tarantula Lemur

[mast240]

Most you guys know me, and that i try to stay objective with situations like this. I've had many a conversations with brandon, about certain actions, attitudes, and general demeaner. I dont think he was intentionally trying to defraud anyone from the very beginning. Now, with that being said, let me say this... when he bought the alt from mechman, he agreed to their terms and conditions... one of them being a stipulation of "no refunds" (which is actually a very common practice with custom made electronics). Is he intending to commit fraud, i dont think so... is he committing fraud, DEFINATELY. I honestly think he is just a little too young, too immature, and too inexperienced to realize the trouble he is creating for himself. There really should be a maturity test you have to pass, before you are allowed to take part in this hobby.

Biggest issue here is:

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND, DONT SPEND IT!

no one cares how much you spent on your system, how "baller" you are for your age, or any of that crap. From many threads, posts, and conversations i've had, i honestly have gotten the feeling that he is trying to prove something... not sure what that is.

Bottom line here, with all the other BS aside, is that by doing what he is doing, he will be committing fraud. There is no way around it. Mechman is a reputable company, with a good standing in the community. And while i personally dont like seeing people being pushed away from the community, maybe he should take a step back for a little while, until he can become a little more responsible. Not trying to be mean, just honest.

Here's proof of return shipping-
UPS tracking number- 1ZY399130394621457

It's time for Brandon to stop the charge-back, I am sure his parents do not want to take financial responsibility for his misdeeds. Brandon owns this unit, there is nothing wrong with it and at this point I am not going to offer a refund. It is not able to be resold as new, functions at 100% and was simply not installed properly. Failing to call for technical assistance caused this whole issue, a simple phone call would have cleared this whole thing up.

I have presented proof that the unit is functioning properly and tracking to show that it shipped out as stated to show you all that I am being 100% transparent in this matter. I have nothing to hide here, I have done what I agreed. I personally handled this inspection and testing, recording it on video for everyone to see. I shipped the unit back to the customer in 100% working order. By attempting a charge-back the customer is attempting to defraud Mechman as I at no time agreed to a refund and it has been clearly stated to the customer that we will not refund this unit. The unit was inspected and dyno tested, video has been provided.

My next step will be based on the actions of Brandon and let it be known that I will honor the warranty but I will not be strongarmed into refunding a product that is custom built and functions properly. Just because it is in my shop does not mean that you can get a refund, it was here for the sole purpose of inspection and testing to determine necessary repairs under warranty. No repairs were necessary as shown in the video.

Not trying to "own" anyone here, simply stating the facts. Nothing wrong with his unit.
As for his FB claim that we would pay shipping, I agreed that we would reimburse the shipping IF the unit was found to be defective.
It's clearly stated in his F-me thread.
It is in his best interest to contact his bank and end this fraudulent claim immediately to prevent prosecution.
His claims that I will send someone to collect the alternator are incorrect, I will go after him and his parents as he is a minor child at this time. I will get my money and his record will be forever tarnished if he continues his fraudulent activity.
I have done everything I said I would do, I have provided an alternator for his application that produced the rated power and functions properly. I have turned around the shipping in the time I originally stated. I have not reimbursed for shipping as I stated earlier and in another thread as there was nothing wrong with this alternator other than a defective installation.

I do not want to be forced to involve his parents or the authorities but I can and will do so if this charge-back happens. I have held up my agreement to provide warranty for the period specified upon his purchase of this unit.
