American Satco: What's the deal?

[zak78]

I recently "bought" 6 wheel sets from Americansatco.com: Three sets of BBS LM(s) and three sets of Koenig Imp(s). I made my "purchase" on the 19th, but my stuff hasn't arrived yet. I checked the website, under the "You and your order" section, but it lists only the date and quantities of my order.

I left phone messages on two consecutive days, and sent them a very polite email inquiring about my order on Monday, but I've received no reply.

At least my bank account hasn't been billed yet.

I figure that my stuff is on backorder and they're just too lazy to communicate with me. I'm dissatisfied because $60 of my money seems to be in limbo.

When I searched for them on this site, I found that several of you had decent experiences with them back in '02 or '03.

Perhaps they simply take a long time to process their orders. Maybe I've been spoiled by HLJ and Hiroboy.

I've dealt with them before but that was about 5 years ago at least; they sell on ebay (or at least used to) but that was a couple of yeas ago as well.

I have bought several items from their web site, never been dissatisfied, must be the holidays, or something. You may be right about back order as well.

Newsflash: Satco delivered! A month and a half later, I have three sets of BBS LMs and three sets of Koenig Imps!

Tonio, thanx for doing my job for me (above). Compared to the Fujimi BBS, these things are almost alarmingly good. Slap some Pegasus 18" tires on there for a lower profile and you have a pretty package!
