Title: Don't buy brakes from Speedxtreme on Amazon
Post by: Quinid on October 15, 2015, 10:30:25 PM
I just want to first point out that because of this experience, I now swear by Amazon, Their customer support is top notch and they dont BS around when it comes to problems like I had. However i will be more likely to avoid 3rd party amazon sellers from now on.

So i ordered StopTech (127.61094R) Brake Rotor and StopTech (127.61094L) Brake Rotor for my 2010 non PP SHO through amazon last month on amazon through these guys. Found out that they won't fit. Then noticed the boxes had the wrong part number on them 127.61049R and L. I called stoptech tech support and they said that part number when to a pre 2010 taurus. Ok so these guys made a dyslexic mistake, it happens. Well it got out of hand and they tried to make me pay the 60 bucks in shipping to return them for a refund. So I called amazon to complain and amazon made it right by sending me 60 bucks. So I returned the rotors and notified the seller that the rotors arrived via fedex the day before. A week later still no refund. had to call amazon to get the ball rolling. The seller finally refunds me today, 1 week after they received the rotors, but 30 bucks short. Called amazon today again about the 30 bucks, amazon is making it good.

So I'd thought I'd warn you guys if you decide to buy those StopTech brake rotors, chances are Speedxtreme will be the first seller option on Amazon. Please avoid that company. I put a negative seller feedback on them today and they had already attempted to remove it.

I truly like Amazon and all the benefits of being a prime member for years now,but when it comes down to auto parts you really have to verify that its the correct part,noticed sometime now that they do not update there parts.  Z     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KR1BQE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KR1BQE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00)

Yeah, they do kinda depend on the customer to help them screen 3rd party vendors, that's why having open communications with Amazon is important.  Like you guys, I have had consistently great experiences with Amazon's customer service, and try to provide reviews and feedback on products/vendors whenever I can.

Stoptech sells direct on Amazon just FYI, they sell cheaper than I can get wholesale so I just guide people there....
Bought some brakes for the DD Hyundai a few weeks back, went super smooth.

They can certainly try!  At least the "organized" misinformation campaigns might be shut down.
