What absolutely horrible customer services from IND-Distribution. I purchased 4 items from them right before Christmas and had no issues, until I ordered my husband a $1,000 spoiler for his BMW for his anniversary present. On January 26, 2021 we ordered the RPK F83 M4 Carbon Trunk Spoiler v2 and it came in defective on February 27th so they ordered us a new one. Being this is a custom order, we knew it would be another 5-6 weeks to get it. On March 24th, I reached out to make sure the defective spoiler arrived and they did confirm they received it and the new one is 2-3 weeks out and about a week for shipping. On April 12th we haven't received an update so I reached out and Ania in customer service told me the spoiler hasn't left RKP but is due to arrive on April 23rd and allow 3 to 5 days after that to get to us.
May 3rd rolls around and we haven't heard anything, so I reached back out for an update. Ania tells us the next day that she just got an email from RKP and it will get to them by that Friday or that coming Monday (May 10th). So May 27th rolls around and still no communication and no spoiler. Reach back out asking for a manager and I get Ania again. Asked to speak to someone else and I got transferred to Jesal in support. He let me know that they have the spoiler and it's being painted, it will take about 2 days to dry and about a week for shipping. Jesal said he would send us a video and photos before they shipped it to show there were no defects and that all the 3M tape was in the correct areas. We asked for compensation via e-mail and no one would respond to our question.
We got an email notification the spoiler was shipped the next day on May 28th, thought that was odd as we were just told it would be about another week and we never received the photos and a video. We asked for compensation again via email on May 30th and Ania never answered our question. Well, the replacement spoiler arrived and we were so happy for a second. Then we take a look at it and there is no 3M tape in the middle of the spoiler (like it shows on IND website and install video) so there's a gap again. It gets better, the custom blue paint job is not all the way to the end on one side and somehow there is white paint in multiple areas on the spoiler. How does white paint get on this spoiler??? Let alone chips in the carbon fiber. How is this acceptable?
Reached back out to IND on June 7th asking to speak to a manager to be told that there was only one manager and they are never available and I have to talk to the support team. Received an email from Jesal (June 7th) that he had his master painter stay the day we talked (May 27th) to finish the spoiler. He baked it to cure the paint which then made it perfect once paint work was done. Never responds to the blue paint not going all the way to the end. Told us the white paint could be polish residue from buffing. This can come out with quick detail spray. Why should we, as the customer, be doing this???? What about the chips in the carbon fiber, no response. As far as the missing M3 Tape, Jesal reponse was the tape on the spoiler is correct per RKP specifications. If the tape reaches the edge then it is visible between the spoiler and trunk. It's why it is placed further back. This doesn't explain the missing section in the middle of the spoiler. If that was per RKP specifications why does your website photos and install video contradict that??? We did finally receive the video on June 7th from Jesal.
Emailed IND back again on June 7th asking for compensation, especially if we have to go out and buy 3M tape, purchase residue cleaner to get the white paint off, and accept a spoiler that has chips in the carbon fiber and a blue stripe that's not all the way to the end. Ania responded back that she would give us a full refund if we want to return it. Return it Ania, we ordered this over 5 months ago. The next day Ania emails be an RMA # and said she sent over a prepaid return label (never received one). First off, we never asked to return it but we will now. We were asking for a little compensation. read more
