gbtr6 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I ordered a Mustang coupe kit from Jeff at Motor City Resin Casters and haven’t gotten it. Checked on it a couple times and promised it’s on the way. Asked for tracking, no luck no kit. It’s been since May. Getting a little frustrated. Looks like a nice kit, and I want it to build for my son. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have two kits on order from Jeff since early spring and I'm not worried a bit . He fills orders on a first come first served basis and never cuts corners that would hurt the quality of his castings , so a longer wait time can happen . Take into account that the whole Covid thing is messing with everyone's lives and I'm not surprised that it's taking longer than usual . . . remember he's in Michigan . Be patient , it's worth the wait . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I've seen his quality at shows, I know it's worth it. But just be honest about what and when, don't give a timeline, then not keep it. If there are issues, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I believe I read on Facebook that he also had some health issues this year. He is a good guy and quality is excellent. I last saw him at Toledo where he hand delivered two kits I ordered and refunded my postage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Good to hear. I'm not badmouthing him to be sure. Good to hear that some of you have had no trouble. The quality looks great. It's just that he has said it shipped, and still no kit. I agree, be honest and tell me it's still in process. Hope all is good for him, and his health. I know when I ordered in May he said 8-10 weeks. I was just following up. Looking forward to getting it. Just need to be patient yet.

gbtr6 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 I emailed again last week, no response now. I wish he'd just tell me if he's behind. If any of you know him, please ask him to be a bit more responsive. I'm not in a rush, but want to know I'm not forgotten.

thatz4u Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 post office is having issues right now, C-19?? I have been waiting on a package for awhile...not concerned, after all this IS 2020....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm not buying the covid-19 or post office issues anymore. If he ordered in May, and I in June,both getting the same initial response of '8-10 weeks', then later... 'I'll ship it next week', and still nothing... something is up. If he's has issues, health or otherwise.... that's his business. I do hope all is well for him. We just deserve an honest answer and time estimate. May till October is not just 'behind' ,there are no shows to stock up for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear it's been a bad year for you, hope you recover quickly. By the sounds of it, because you do quality work, there's more people that want your products.

fairlane1320 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have bought several of his kits, usually at a show. They are very nice and worth the wait IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railroad Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've ordered 3 of his mustang bodies. The last body took a little longer, but he always does come through. You won't be disappointed in the least. His work is top notch. Randy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an order in for a ford van and it is just coming up on a year. I understand he had some health issues in 2020, so I fully understand the delays. Based on the time it took for you to receive your item, I'm just trying to determine about when I would expect it in the mail. I'm sure it is worth the wait.

R.J Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have a 1970 and a 1/2 Falcon coming that was ordered on June 20th 2020 I am really looking forward to building it I know it will be top quality when it does arrive, last contact I had was Nov 25 and it was at the top of the line then.

Bob, I don't recall the timeline now, but it was a few months. I just recently contacted him to get another hood for the Mustang as I messed up the one that came with the kit. He responded right away and said he'd send one. Haven't gotten it yet, but will wait for it. That is top notch to me. Thanks, Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have to say, Jeff is a great vendor. I got my hood, and he didn’t charge me. I really appreciate him doing that for me. I highly recommend him and Motor City Resin Casters. Jeff, thank you for the help. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAmodel Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Sadly, yes. I ordered six resin bodies in December. At the time of order, he said 8-10 weeks in the acknowledgement e-mail. No problem. I waited 2 months. Nothing. So, long story short, sent e-mails about every month thereafter, each month, he said 'I'm behind, will get to it 'soon'. Finally, he said he would get it out 'this week'. I waited two weeks. Nothing. Finally, with my PayPal clock running out for filing a disputed charge, I sent another e-mail saying exactly that, and did he have an HONEST estimate for delivery. That e-mail was ignored. In sum, it was six months of waiting and dishonest estimated, followed by an ignored w0mail, and finally a Paypal dispute. The funds were returned with no product. The entire time, I said 'no hurry, just give me an honest estimate'. He was unable to even do that much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooltoyz57 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I ordered a mail jeep APRIL 8TH. Jeff sure took my money. Har has never replied to me. That make him a thief in my book. STAY AWAY FROM MOTOR CITY RESINS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
