Here's how they lied and scammed me out of $1076.49.
I ordered a set of wheels and tires for my truck using their online website. When I received the wheels they did not fit my truck. This was my fault because I misinterpreted their website details and ordered the wrong fitment. No big deal, people do buy incorrect sizes of all types of merchandise. Extreme Customs only offers email support so I sent an email to inquire about the wrong size. A day later I received a reply from Juli at Extreme Customs and we started a dialogue.
I explained that I received the wrong wheels (I actually thought they sent me the wrong size until a few emails later I realized I made that mistake). I asked if I could return the wheels for the correct size. I only wanted to replace the wheels and I would keep the tires.
At first she was not very cooperative and a few emails later she sent me a random pic of a truck (NOT MY VEHICLE) and said she can't return my wheels because they are used. This was very bizarre and red flags went up at that point. She was literally accusing me of scamming them. I politely corrected her and explained that the photo she was referring to was not my truck nor the wheels/tires I bought, that she must be mistaking me for another customer.
She stated that they have to be very careful because people scam them all the time. The conversation was not an apology, I was more interrogation and justification for her accusations. I wasn't getting a good feeling about any of this but I needed to exchange the wheels so I put that aside.
After clearing that up, I asked if she could help find the correct wheel fitment for my truck. Sadly, a few emails later she said they couldn't find anything. I was a little disappointed to say the least, so I did some additional searching on their website and found the correct fitment for my truck after learned the correct size, etc. I thought, how did she not find these?
I wrote back (btw, they do not provide a phone number and all communication is done over days/weeks of emailing only! Very frustrating and slow to say the least.) I then suggested that I could send the old wheels back and they can send the replacement wheels I found on their website. She explained that they would need to charge my card for the replacement wheels first and when they receive the old wheels back they would provide the full credit.
This is where I went wrong... I was suspect to this arrangement but since I was trying to be an honest customer I gave her the benefit of the doubt and provided my credit card payment for the replacement wheels. I then carefully packaged up the incorrect wheels in preparation for shipping them back.
She asked that I take many pics so they can see the wheels to ensure they were not damaged prior to shipping. I took many photos of the wheels to show they were still in new condition. I also took photos of the packaging to show how well they were protected and packaged. After she saw the photos she said they can see the wheels are indeed in new condition and even complimented me on how well they were packaged and cared for.
Once I received her approval and feedback from the photos, I shipped the wheels back via her approved RMA and FedEx shipping labels.
A few days later I received an email from Juli stating that she received the wheels but had "bad news". She stated that the wheels were all damaged on return and her management will not allow her to provide the refund. She asked me if I wanted them back or if I wanted her to dispose of the wheels. Really?!! Much Wow!
I asked Juli to provide photos of the "damaged" wheels and the damaged packaging (just like they asked me to do prior to the return) and they have not responded. I also asked if they filed a damage dispute with their FedEx rep as they provided the shipping. Still no reply. It's been nearly a week since I have shipped the wheels back and I have not heard back from this company since.
I had a feeling this merchant was going to take advantage of the situation and my honesty, and not provide the refund they stated they would.
Please be aware, this company will lie to you. They do not value ethics or their customer. Hope this experience prevents others from having a similar situation. Be careful and do NOT buy from Extreme Customs!
All the best to those shopping online. read more
