Johns custom wiring

[Phew]

So, I just want to put this out there before anyone else gets screwed over by this *******.

Johns custom wiring, Traverse City, MI.

I ordered a plug and play harness 6.0 in 97 crew cab, ordered and payed the deposit on 4-16-23. He stated 95 day wait ok at that time everyone was about the same answer.

First time I emailed him was at the end of June beginning of July, done by end of week was his response, ok.

3 weeks pass I email him back, what's going on ? Oh supply chain issues shouldn't be much longer.

3 more weeks pass, email him again, 3 days later I get a no updates right now.

3 more weeks pass, again should be soon.

Another 3 weeks later, keep in mind everytime I have to send him emails asking wtf is going on there's zero communication from him. I tell him fine at this point I'm fed up it's now November and I still don't have a harness or even an idea when it will show up. I give him a Nov 16th date before I'm doing a charge back.

November 14th, harness is claimed to be done get a "label created" email, I'm skeptical as hell at this point but he swears its done, so I pay the remainder on Nov 16th.

Email him back on the 17th to see why I have no tracking number, he says he won't ship anything till my PayPal payment clears his bank account. At this point I'm pissed, I email him back in 3 days he's now getting annoyed with me wanting my harness and starts telling me that it's business days and that he shouldn't have to tell me that, keep in mind I paid on a Tuesday and emailed him on Friday and the following monday.

Now November 20th payment has cleared according to him, but he's out of town on a another "harness job" and won't be able to ship it out till he gets back in a couple days.

Dudes a flake run as far away from this ******* as you can.

Wish I had went any where else but now I'm stuck battling with this ******* till I get something. If anyone needs proof I have the whole email chain for the past 7 months of dealing with this guy and would be more than happy to post them

 

[CumminsFever]

You have more patience than I would have.
When someone gives me a timeline, I hold them to it.
I believe in fair honest business. I'll tell people it's gonna take 3 days to do a 2 day job, that way I have a cushion if something goes wrong.
Hopefully you do eventually get your product, but it sure doesn't sound promising.
Thank you for the warning!

 

[Komet]

You'd be working faster than that guy if you built your own harness one wire per day. The 95 day wait was the first red flag.

I would’ve moved on months ago.

 

[Caman96]

I’d also be leery of the quality of harness at this point with the obvious bad blood. I’d demand my money back.

 

[Supercharged111]

I’d demand my money back.

Good luck with that!

 

[Caman96]

Good luck with that!

I’ve never not gotten my money back. They broke the agreement on the time frame. PayPal will back you.

 

[Phew]

Believe me I called around and everyone told me it was a 95 day wait, I called all the big names and it was all the same.

My issue is now he has my cab bulkhead wiring harness and bulkhead connector. I would've done it my self but I wasn't sure what all was involved with swapping over from it being originally a diesel cab. I did the original cab when it was a big block gasser

Does 95 days seem reasonable?

 

[GoToGuy]

Yes and no. Supply issues yes and no . Connectors are available, I don't think there is high flow demand on. Delphi/ Packard have been in use quite a while now.
Are they accepting more work than can be reasonably finished timely? " I'll get to it when I get a round 2 it "
Lack of work ethic, integrity? " It's a side gig be glad I'll do it. "
Me, in your shoes, cancelled at the 120 days, no ifs ands or buts. And that's being considerate.
