DO NOT purchase anything from this guy. His name is Steve and he offered a refund to me on a $400 order but has now gone dark and did not respond to multiple RMA requests. I had to open a paypal dispute.
I know he's not a vendor here but lots of Corvette and Camaro parts are interchangable.

if you use Paypal tied to a credit card...go to them too...Paypal tends to drag their feet

TheFlyingBananaSS · 11-24-2020, 01:07 PM

Thanks. I'm really not in a rush and it's my own fault because I didn't check out the seller reviews beforehand.

TheFlyingBananaSS · 12-07-2020, 12:46 PM

Well the paypal woke him up. I finally got an RMA and sent it back today with signature confirmation lol.

A facebook check revealed he's doing this to multiple orders.

I am aware of that but it's also very possible that others here would order from him. Just trying to help out. Still working on this too. This guy is shrewd. I think he's trying to extend it out past his company return policy so he can deny it. However I have the rma# and my signature confirmation to prove it was returned at his approval. He even had me mail it to his house not the same address that his "shipping department " sent it from lol. A one man show with a shipping department lol.

Sorry to hear it brother. Apparently this guy is a whole lot of trouble for everyone. Look up his legal divorce
history it will blow you away. Dude lives in a multimillion dollar house no less. You could make a complaint to the chamber of commerce in his town too.

Here's an article about this wonderful person from a San Francisco newspaper;
A Walnut Creek man accused of stashing an arsenal of guns and pipe bombs at his home suffered from depression and told his wife he kept a hit list of people who had angered him, according to court documents released Thursday.

Steven Merenkov, 47, appeared Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Wayne Brazil in Oakland on one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. The goateed Merenkov was clad in the same street clothes he wore when he was arrested Wednesday.
