Tim, I suggest you call the Better Business Bureau in his area. More than
likely you will find other complaints from customers, if this is the way
Patrick does business.

Does this sound like the message he sent me a few days ago? Yes.... The
reason I am sending this to the list... is because another Dodge vehicle
list had the same problems with Patrick not shipping stuff... I did get in
touch with Patrick last night.. and he promised that he would ship my Shift
kit today (Friday) for next day, I only ordered it 2 weeks ago to the
day.... I ordered something for another vehicle and got a responce the next
day, and the part was here 2 days from the order date... Shouldent it be
like that for all companies? Just so you know.. I STILL have NOT heard from
him personaly, he said he WAS goin to try and get in touch with me... but to
date, he hasnt... If you plan on doin business with him... I would recomend
you talk to him.. not assume things... If I dont have the shift kit on my
portch monday, (if not tomorrow) I'm canceling the CC (it was my sisters,
she gave me the kit fer Christmas, and she works at First Union) I just
wanted to pass on the Info I got, and how I felt towards his business...
I'm not saying that I wont do business with him... just it seems weird he
gave the same story to another list in August... (did it really take him
that long to move?)

Well.. I'll see if the Kit is here by monday.... but till then... who
knows....
 (Read the info I got)
