Extremely disappointing experience
I ordered a steering wheel from this company in May and paid around €1,500. It is now August and my order is still incomplete.
First, I tried to cancel the order because the website advertised a delivery time of 15–21 days, but they refused to cancel it even though the deadline had not been respected. I decided to give them another chance.
When the steering wheel finally arrived, it was not the configuration I ordered. I had specifically requested different paddle shifters and different Audi R8-style buttons, but the wheel arrived with the wrong parts. I asked for a solution and a refund, but I was repeatedly told to wait and be patient.
Communication has been the biggest problem. I have repeatedly been told things like “we have already shipped it”, “I will send you the tracking number tomorrow” and “it will arrive tomorrow”, but these promises were repeatedly not fulfilled.
The latest problem concerns the DSG shifter and airbag. Before receiving the package, I specifically asked what the tracking number contained. I was told it contained both the DSG shifter and the airbag. When the package arrived, the airbag was missing.
I was then told that the airbag had been shipped separately and would arrive the next day. Nothing arrived. After waiting another day, I was finally told that the airbag had not even been shipped yet and would be sent on Monday.
This is extremely frustrating. If something has not been shipped, simply say so. Giving customers different explanations and repeatedly promising delivery dates that are not respected is unacceptable.
I was also promised the correct paddle shifters and Audi R8-style buttons, but I am still waiting for a proper solution.
There was also an additional €40 UPS charge, despite the website stating that shipping was free and that there would be no additional charges. They initially said it was not their problem, but after I showed them what their website stated, they agreed to reimburse me. I am still waiting for that money.
Getting a response is also extremely difficult. Sometimes my messages are ignored for one, two or even three days, and I have had to call repeatedly just to get an answer. This is particularly frustrating when their website advertises 24/7 customer support.
Overall, I paid €1,500 expecting professional service. Instead, I have spent almost three months chasing the seller, waiting for missing and incorrect parts, asking for tracking numbers and receiving contradictory explanations and promises that were not fulfilled.
Three months, €1,500, and my order is still not properly resolved. Extremely disappointing experience.
