If anyone can tell me if SpeedConcepts is still around I would appreciate it, I ordered from them 11 months ago and had been receiving emails and calls up to June this year now nothing, I would just like to be able to move on and maybe write off the 2 grand plus I spent. Thank you if anyone could help

Speed Concepts is still doing business?

In October of 2012 I ordered an 8.8" axle and Pinion Flange from them. I got an email confirming this. After the expected time for delivery expired, I emailed them about it. Their response was a canned "Check your order on our web site" or something like that.

I was doing that for a few weeks already. All I could see was:
My Order History - Order Number: 34** (In Processing)

After a couple more emails, and the same "check your order on our web site" I called them on the phone. The answering machine said something like "We're busy, email us".
By now it's January 2013, and after several phone calls, I am a bit ticked off.
I wrote one last, very short, email saying that someone better call me within 48 hours or I call mastercard about my deposit.
No one called in the 48 hour period. I didn't expect a call anyway.
The next day I called mastercard and got my deposit back.
I am NOT kidding, about 20 minutes after calling mastercard, Speed Concepts called.
The guy on the phone was all full of excuses and what _I_ could have done!
I let him go on and on, then told him I just called mastercard to get my money back.
This guy's tune changed for the worse then! Woo-boy. He was not happy.
He basically said the order would be cancled, good bye, and hung up on me.

About an hour later I get an email confirming the canceled order.

I have heard those horror stories before, unfortunately after I made my order. I have also read (on this forum ) what a great guy he is. Sadly I cannot stop payment, it is just gone. I like to give benefit of doubt to those I am dealing with, that is why I am asking if they are still around, no response since June

$2000 can be considered a felony theft depending on the situation. Just something to keep in mind.

I understand that people make mistakes. Businesses fail, bankrupt, and at times cannot fulfill their customers needs. A company with integrity would communicate clearly with a customer and let them know there is a problem. Then the customer has the choice to wait and risk, or ask for a refund.

You see my point perfectly, I have a friend who is an attorney he even though he says I can pursue it the fact that it is another state makes it very complicated. but the last part of your message is exactly how I feel. there are details I am leaving out because it is my problem no one else's. I just want to find out if they are still around, but thanks for the interest.

I was considering the name "Speed Concept" or "Performance Concepts" for a company name. If this thread had not come up I would have never known another existed. My attorney that works with me with my music studio said that this thread just saved a lot of time on Trademark and Copywrite issues.

There is a positive in your negative.

Not sure if this helps, but I was told by mastercard that I waited too long to have them refund my money. HOWEVER, since I was actively trying to contact speed concepts, and I still had all the emails I sent, and the responses, mastercard was more than willing to get my money back. I was talking to a lady at mastercard that was very helpful and taught me quite a bit on how that works. I have no idea if this sort of thing varies from state to state but I thought I'd throw this in.
Even now, I still have some of those emails.

Once more I will ask if anyone knows if Ken from SpeedConcepts is still doing business, It is coming up on a year since ordering and repeated phone calls and emails have got know results. I would really like to know if I should just move on and accept up the loss Thanks for any help.

I forgot about this thread, but I can offer this.
On your browser type in "whois.net"
Then do a search for "speedconcepts.net"

A much more in depth logging for them is with a terminal.
I don't know if a PC will work like this, but on a Mac/Linux/Unix machine, start the terminal and type in "whois speedconcepts.net"
and you will get a ton if info on them. The following is what I saw today.

You might be able to reach them through GODADDY.COM, or perhaps one of the email addresses or phone numbers below.
