Marion Auto/BAMATOY?

Hey I ordered wheel bearings from this guy a while ago and they have been great. Changing CV axels now and ordered a new set just to replace them. Now it’s been 2 weeks since order and they haven’t shipped and I see he’s no longer on the site??? Hope I’m not SOL my mechanic is waiting. They have been great bearings so far I must say I have put them through a lot

 

Good luck. He's not on here anymore for a reason.

 

I bougt his bearing/ hub assemblies last year for my 4runner ( took like forever just to get them) . After 25,000 miles the passenger side bearing took a shit. I called him up, got his voice mail and left a message. Have not got a call back and don't really expect one. Ended up buying a NAPA SELECT one with lifetime warranty, not really what I wanted but had to get the truck back on the road quick. I would avoid this dude like the plague, really, do yourself a favor. Mitch.

 

Great. That really is disappointing

 

Damn....hope mine don't go bad
I hadn't noticed he wasn't on here anymore.

 

Mine have lasted a long time that I originally got but I hate bad communication. It says the shipping label was printed but there is no shipping information. I’ll see what happens

Common excuse from him.
1 of mine from him lasted 12K miles. Factory lasted 90K miles.
How many miles did yours last?

 

Sure glad I didn’t order from him

 

I've bought from him twice. The second time on one of his black Friday sales. That transaction had a sloooooow turn around, but I did get them a couple months after the order was placed and paid for

I bought the napa preassembled bearing with the hub. It came with the O ring and the seal for the back of the spindle. It was just over $200. for each.
A 3" PVC female adapter and a plug that screws in it is perfect for installing the seal. One wrap of tape to hold the seal and 3 taps of the hammer on the plug, and it's in. It's a biotch otherwise.

 

It seems there was another guy who started out doing well and then orders started piling up. It's my understanding he did this work on the side. If that's the case, no wonder, but people expect parts order to be fulfilled in a reasonable amount of time.

If I am not mistaken, this is the current go to guy - hopefully he can keep it together:

This is a interesting situation - I bought from the new jersey guy with no problem - hub still good - at the time everyone was using bama but I live in NJ so figured id stay close to home - now both of them are persona non grata. Wonder what happens ?

 

He’s trying to say they lost the package and he’s going to send me two packages, if I get two send one back. I know that’s bull shit. I might just file a dispute with PayPal. My bearings have been on for at least 50k or so from him

 

1,858 pages of banned people???

 

Question is when do I file a dispute with PayPal or wait and hope bearings arrive soon

 

I've only had to open a dispute once. I decided to wait until the last couple of days before I opened the dispute. I did make sure that I had evidence of the communication between the seller and myself...this is usually enough to get your money back.

 

Guess I was lucky - got my order in B 4 the shite hit the fan - been good 4 me. Thanks 4 your input.

 

Now.

 

How long did it take to get your money back? This is pissing me off already I hate having money in the air

 

The sooner a claim is submitted the sooner it will be resolved.

You wouldn't believe how much free stuff people get by filing claims. I don't do it, but thousands do.
