Following up on my emulsion tube issue this week:
These carbs were purchased from Webercarbsdirect.com and were represented as genuine Webers. They are not. They are Chinese knock-offs. The retailer refuses to take them back. You've been warned! Do everyone a favor and spread this around to help others from getting screwed. |

EDIT: IRRELEVANT, SEE ALIBABA CHINESE SUPPLIERS POST BELOW
I went to their site and saw "GENUINE WEBER" all over the place, so wrote their sales e-mail and asked: I'm told that a set of your 40 IDF's for VW are actually Chinese knock-offs? I was a little surprised to hear that since your website says "genuine Weber" repeatedly. I know Weber doesn't make carbs in China, so could you affirm that the castings and all components and parts in the carbs you sell are sourced from Weber Italy or Spain? Got this back, quote: Hello All of our Weber Carburetors are genuine. Weber Carburetors have not been made in Italy since 1990. As with most automotive parts these days our products are manufactured throughout the world. We carry both Asian and Spanish made Weber Carburetors. What product were you looking to purchase? We will check to see what Genuine Weber Carburetor we have in stock. For more understanding of Genuine Weber see enclosed likn from our website. Thank you http://nebula.wsimg.com/6cd0ee31d45c522709...p;alloworigin=1 Unquote. What's odd is the Weber statement in that document refers to Redline, Interco and Worldpac, to the point where I'm a little confused about who's who. If you want to really get their attention file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (here: http://forms.ag.ny.gov/CIS/consumer-complaints.jsp ) It's online and fast, just let WeberDirect know that you've filed a formal fraud complaint (it's interstate so the Feds have jurisdiction) and give them the complaint number. That should help the guy get over your use of a swear word. Then the Long Island Better Business Bureau here: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/fil...int/get-started Finally the New York State Attorney General's Consumer Fraud complaint form, here: http://forms.ag.ny.gov/CIS/consumer-complaints.jsp It looks like ridiculous overkill, but if you let them know they're going to be getting all these different calls they'll almost always be much easier to talk with and willing, even eager, to resolve any issues. And could you please let us know how this turns out? I'm very curious. |
