Nabobery aka Speedline International

[Jeff-TheBiz]

I know he isnt a member but he sells a ton of stuff for the 3 on ebay.

I have dealt with him twice in the past and had okay experience..

1) USB/Aux adapter took 4 weeks to arrive and then needed to be modified to work half the time...

2) Clear Rear reflectors/3rd Brake Light, paid way too much, but wanted them anyways.

Up until now, I have been okay, and he clearly knows that some of the items he sells, no one else has... and he prices them accordingly. But recently after requested a quote on a couple of things, he quoted me, I replied, I sent the money by paypal and he cancelled the order 24 hrs & 13 mins later... (The 13 min is important because I lost $18 buck in currency exchange because of the 13 mins)

He sent me an email saying, "I messed up with the quote, buy your stuff somewhere else."

Just letting everyone know how things work with him, this all happening after 2 previous transactions totalling over $500.

Thanks for the info Jeff. He's had some very shady reviews on M3F as well. I think majic used to call him "highway robobery" because of his inflated prices that make him 200% profit (cheap asian labour).

[Jeff-TheBiz]

From what I have seen on M3F he drops his prices when there is a large group buy, but otherwise a generous 5% reduction to a repeat client, and then he messes up on the simple math....

Meh..

Just make sure no one else buying from him again. If he's so expensive either he's making it himself or he's got some people who only supply him.

Do we know who they are? Cause I think it's a taiwan based company. They have alot of imitation car parts that are a little 'shady'.

[CanadaGTO]

What in particular is popular from him. Maybe I can do some digging and see if I can get some.

[Broli]

hmmm,

i recently bought something from him, he was the only one i could find that had them, except for really really really expensive in another location. so i decided to risk the purchase, i will post up how the transaction goes

Actually that would be fantastic!

Here is some of what he offers... I don't think it is the performance stuff that people buy from him (mostly people that stuff locally like from you)

http://stores.ebay.ca/SpeedLine-Inte...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

It is more like the cosmetic stuff, lips, mirrors, reflectors etc.

[Broli]

as a note, patrique, i would be interested in smoked reflectors depending on price, i am not sure what others would be interested in??

[TheProfessor]

I posted this on the old forum but I'll bring it up again now:

About a year ago I purchased the Audiolink iPod adapter from him through eBay. He sent it to me late, but I was okay with that. I hooked it up and it did not work properly. It charged the iPod even when the key was removed from the ignition, and the neither the steering wheel controls nor those on the actual head unit controlled the iPod as advertised.

I complained to him and he questioned my install abilities (it literally just plugs into the back of the deck). After a few e-mails he finally admits to me that he has been having numerous problems with the units and that he would refund my money and the cost of return shipping as long as I did not tell anyone as he intended to continue selling them. I believe the issue with the unit has now been resolved so anything thinking of getting one shouldn't worry, but this guy is shady.

[bubba1983]

eek, never knew this
i wanted to buy somethign from him in teh spring...i dunno now!!

[Mazda3_06]

i bought my LED mirrors from this guy
paid the 25 USD for paint and he painted it in the wrong color!

Hi,

I’ve been trying to place an order through your website, but it wouldn’t let me add anything to my shopping cart. I wanted to get the Mazda3 OEM Folding Mirrors and the Mazda3 Doubledin Navigation Install Kit without climate control. I am also looking for a centre console gauge pod for 60mm gauges (something like this one http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...middlesmall=2% 3A 10&maker=&volkey= ). I was also hoping to negotiate a combined deal for all those items.

Best Regards,

Vlad.

Well, i contaced him through ebay, and asked that he respond to my email address.

My enquiry was as to whether he had shipped the product that i order. He responded in one day, appologizing for not contacting me to confirm he recieved my payment, and to confirm that he had shipped my order.

So Provided shipment doesnt take forever . . . i will be happy with this transaction!!!

[CoolColombian]

Sorry to hear Jeff, thats a pain in the a$$ and the worst part is that when they refunded the money it goes on hold first, takes 8-10 days to Canadian accounts and then another 8-10 days to get the money back on your bank account or credit card from your pay pal account.

Its happening to me after I bought some stuff while i was on NY, i try to get it ship to my address there but the seller backed out when he saw that i had a Canadian address and i was asking the shipping to NY and i had told him about it, but i don't know what those guys do that they don't remember anything.

[3GFX]

Just a note for anyone wanting a USB/Ipod Aux unit. Don't buy it from him, he's selling the audiolink unit which can be bought from theRPMstore.com for the same price and free shipping.

[Broli]

well, my item was shipped on the 15th, and i recieved it today . . . 19th

not to bad!

and i had some concern that the item would be the wrong one .. .

well it was the right one!

so everything is ok!


i think the key is to email them a week after you order (if you haven't heard anything) and then it ships lickety-split!!!

[Broli]

What did you buy?

[MPS]

Sorry guys..... Did some asking around and we can't get Mazda parts like this..... Other manufacturers yes, but not Mazda. Too bad, we've had great success with SRT-4 lighting parts.

[bubba1983]
