Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / February 2006Windsor-Fox RIP OFF
Hello all, I ordered a custom made wiring harness for my 1966 Mustang from WINDSOR-FOX, whom I thought was a reputable company in California. This company, WINDSOR-FOX has been mentioned in articles in magazines and websites, which led me to think they were good people. In September I sent them a complete wiring harness from a newer car (value $300) and a money order for $549. Several excuses and months later, I suspect I'm out the money. I've contemplated telling the BBB in their area (Apple Valley, CA), contacting a lawyer there, or contacting the local tv station/newspaper. However, I don't think any of those will help my case. I've also thought about contacting the company and telling them, "Look if you don't send my $/part immediately, I'm going to (do all that)." I can't afford to write off $850, but I think I may have to. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. GMC in GA > Hello all, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > GMC in GA I have several suggestions. Instaed of ranting on Usenet, call them onthe phone and speak to the owner. Do not threaten all that sillyshit, cuz if it were me I'd blow you off right there. Do not rant. Explain what your concerns are and you don't want to be out your money and harness and you really need to know exactly what the situation is. If someone is sick, or someone stuck your stuff on a shelf and forgot about it for a month fine SAY so and lets get to it. If you're rude you'll just piss him off and he has the upper hand at the moment, he's go t your money.

Thanks for the reply. Most of what you've said I've done. Phone calls get no reponse. Emails every 3 weeks or so get lame excuses. I'm not ranting on Usenet, I'm telling what has happened to me. I wouldn't gotten so mad recently, but I did a search on google, finally, and saw them using the exact same excuses for delays to other people (literally, same excuses---family illnesses) a year before me. I know you don't me from Adam. I was just seeing what others would do in my shoes. > Thanks for the reply. > Most of what you've said I've done. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I know you don't me from Adam. I was just seeing what others would do in my > shoes. I havn't seen many posts about them at all, but I've never seen a complaint. "Phone calls got no response" By that you mean they have not called you back?? If so you have to keep calling until you get an answer. Use a barrowed or pay phone to dicuise the number. Then move to finding someone local to visit or have a lawyer send a letter.

You have to actually DO something. I suggest, you gather up your paperwork, every scrap including communications and make copies attach all of it to a letter stating your complaint and your request for your parts or a refund immediately. Mark it attention of Ed Marsh and send it registered with a return receipt requested. Give a set time, say ten days in which you expect to receive some resolution to your complaint and then explain that if it is not handled within that time you will CC copies to the BBB and to all of their butt buddies at the publications. Even a News 10 or whatever consumer hotline sort of thing. Then, if you do not get satisfaction within the allotted time follow through and send copies to every publication that pushes his company, and every consumer organization that you can find. Take some action, and take it soon. Don't just get all pissed off and gripe about it -DO SOMETHING In the meantime we have a pretty good guy in this group that uses that nick, maybe next time you could use a different topic, so as not to make it appear as if you are disparaging him in some way.

Yes, that's right, and hopefully it wasn't taken that way. That certainly wasn't the way I meant it. Do a search on www.stangnet.com in the classics forum. We have discussed MANY problems with them and they are in the business of ripping people off. I was persistant and nice for at least 9 months and got my products from them. I will never use them again and am happy to spread the news on how bad they are. Have you gotten the responses that a family emergency yet? Its common. Good luck and there are others that are much better for doing business with..
