    I purchased a steering wheel cover for my truck from East Detailing on February 2nd. I was given an estimated delivery day of 14-21 days from the date purchased. I should have received my product that I paid for on the 24th at the latest. I have yet to receive any form of shipping confirmation (2/26) and my account was billed $39.99 immediately.

    I have tried to contact the company everyday for the past week and a half without any type of response. The website now shows all products out of stock as of 5 days ago.

    With no response from the company and no product, I decided to file a claim with my bank. Hopefully this is resolved and I get my money back, but I highly advise that people do NOT do business with this company. Others have had perfect luck, but it seems like the company randomly went belly up or something. Truly a shame as they made a pretty cool product and I was excited to get it, but this is to the point where it's ridiculous that they will not respond to my emails and there is no phone number to call.

    Any advice on how to further handle this would be appreciated.

    basically that's all you can do at the moment, hopefully the CC company can stop any payment or recoup it

    dude that is the sketchiest looking website I have ever seen. And I go incognito mode and peruse some sketchy websites.

    Contact us is only through email, no phone, no address, no social media (a requirement nowadays)

    Also, looks to me like their website is closing up shop or being remade. Although if it was my money on the line I would err on the side of caution and assume the worst

    Lol, I couldn’t even get to their product page. Then I found a way and everything goes to a different link. Why in the hell would anyone buy from some place like this. And people wonder why they get scammed.


    Btw if anyone wants I’ll send them a check for 5k. All they have to do is cash it and send me 3k back. That’s a free 2k for you. Pm me for details

    It’s really shitty. My bank is taking care of it luckily

    the website looked nothing like that when I ordered and multiple people had good luck with the company so I figured I’d try it out. Seems to be a Pelfreybilt-like company situation.

    ah then I would hope that they are just remaking it. But the complete lack of communication on their website, over email, and facebook (found it on a separate search) doesn't bode well.

    Hope for the best, plan for the worst. File a claim (like you already did), get your money back, and continue to monitor. If they come back from whatever is going on, awesome! and place another order. But for now play it safe

    i just got the same email. I ordered on Feb 1st and received several emails responses to emails I have sent them. I even got refunded $10 at the end of Feb. now waiting to see if anything actually ships or if this was a ploy for me to to file a claim against them. We will see. They have ghosted new lately.

    File the claim and get your money back. Once you have your money then you can choose to give them another shot. Or not. But don't let them hold your money until it's too late to file a claim.

    Damn yeah that's just bad business practice. Would have been better to just label everything out of stock to prevent orders and throw that announcement on their home page so anyone could be a little more at ease that it was a temporary thing and not a pelfrey thing. Glad to hear of an update and we shall see where they are in the next month or so.
