Wheels Boutique
Has anyone dealt with Wheels Boutique? I placed an order with them back on April 1 which is the same day they charged my credit card. I have been getting the run-around with them for about a month now. Finally last week they provided me a tracking number but UPS is telling me they were never called to pick up the wheels. Wheels boutique is telling me the item went out last week. It has been a month long battle with them...all I want is the wheels I ordered or my credit charge card to be credited. The bill will be coming soon but I have no merchandise. I am thinking of contacting the BBB.
Anyone had a similar experience with them?

I filed a complaint with the BBB last night against them. Today I called them again. Wheels Boutique is claiming they have a ups drivers signature on file showing the wheels were picked up. ups is still saying they dont have them. They told me they are going to start an investigation with ups but i dont know if i really believe them since this has been an ongoing problem. They told me that if the wheels are lost then they are going to ship me out another set. i just dont want to have to wait another month for them......
Was your credit card charged immediately? Did you receive any type of invoice? Make sure you document everything. I really hope that you have a better experience than i am having with them.

Yeah, I looked them up on there too...I hope they really are working to fix my situation. I am now going to try to get them to refund my money on the credit card until the "missing" wheels are found...wish me luck with that one! they are really quick to take the money, we'll see how fast they give it back.

I talked to Wheeloptions Vic (CA distributor for Mackin).. and he said that for Silver SF Challenge it's another 2 months at least.. there isn't enough order for them to ship over to the states yet. That's why I'm just going to get the Mercury Silver SF.

www.mvpmotorsports.com and www.gruppe-s.com
MVP is run by a guy named Dusty. he's a supra guy, that's why you'll notice all these things for the supra. but he's a volk dealer and can get anything you want. even wheels you don't see on the site.
Gruppe-s is about the same.
call them both since the website only shows a limited number of products.

www.importhookup.com it leads you to www.wheeloptions.com
Or simply use the vendor on this site.. he seems to be pretty good with getting back with quotes and what not.
If you decide to go with the above option, Vic is a Volk Dealer too.. and he gets the shipment faster than anyone in California since he's pretty close to Mackin HQ. :P
