I've contacted jeff today after reading your post, he replied shortly afterwards promising to get on to my heads. I can only hope he will be true to his word, I know his heads will be worth the wait, but I'm getting tired of waiting at this
stage.

I have to give you credit for being patient enough to wait four years.  No way would I have waited that long for ANY parts or service, regardless of how good a reputation someone has.  The VW/automotive performance world seems to have more than its share of folks that, while they may be the greatest people in the world, have issues with communications and meeting deadlines.  I sincerely hope you get the resolution you're seeking, and kudos to you for hanging in there that long... because I sure wouldn't be able to.

A few more months will be 4 years for me too. Luckily (well, not really) I have serious ongoing health issues and haven't actually needed the heads until recently. I don't see it so much anymore as patience, but more like being stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Not like I can go back through Paypal and get a refund, and badmouthing or trashing someone on the internet is really not something I care to get involved in. Too much stress and $hit going on in my life as it is.

Half the messages I send don't get responses and I've done the same "chasing" to stay in contact (from direct emails, to texts, then PM's on the samba, Linkedin, etc). Simply put, you can't make someone do something they don't want to do, whether it's responding to an email or finishing a product or service they're getting paid to do. I think Jeff is a great guy and I don't think he would intentionally screw anyone, but that doesn't help me finish my engine or get another set of heads. If I knew that nearly 4 years later I would have half the money out and nothing to show for it (with no estimated date of arrival), I would have just bought some off the shelf heads. Sad

I'm lucky I have the option of a paypal dispute open to me for another week or so. I was foolish enough to pay full price up front but I won't let the paypal deadline slip by.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have not contacted him through Facebook, I guess I'm a little reluctant. He has continually instructed me to contact him through 2 different emails, "this site", or "that site", and I don't see why the original form (or first 3 forms) of contact aren't still valid. Especially when some of those sites (like the samba) show him as having visited the site a day or 2 ago. I'll send another message through the samba today, and if no response, Facebook will have to be next. The feedback and turnaround seems to be much better for those who live in So. Cal.

Thanks again,
 Andy

How long did you have to wait? I'm guessing not 4 years?Huh Huh

EDIT: Good news. Got a response from Jeff with a hopeful finish date of X-mas. I'm looking forward to getting this engine together....and getting an actual pair of Denham heads in my possession. Would make a great X-mas present to myself! Smiley

Interesting points. I believe this situation has gone past the calls stage. Every business/resturant can get reviewed online now, so why shouldn't individuals? Its potentially helping other people in the future

I do understand your point,if it is only one person who has a probleme with somebody.
Then you should not try to solve this direct on a forum.
But i looks like it is not a single person who has a probleme with the delivery time here.
And i would not like it that i orderd some parts that i don't get,to here then later that some people knew this could happen but did'nt say anything about it.
So i don't think it is a bad thing to be warned.

My SMALL point was.....

I am sure there is a better way to resolve problems between 2 people other than starting a thread in a persons name on an open public forum..... I would NEVER do it, I have been tempted several times but its NEVER a good idea.....

It just opens a whole can of worms and EVERYONE jumps in even if they have ZERO knowlage on the subject/situation  Undecided

Sorry you're the only one jumping in here, if you've no outstanding deals with jeff then this wasn't a thread you needed to get involved in.

I would agree with baz here Lee; I would clean up my own back yard before getting involved. Obviously 4 years of promises is not going to be solved with a phone call.

If threads are started with a name with the purpose of attacking them or just talking trash that would have been removed. But both this thread and the one in your name on the other forums are well within what I would consider reasonable, as long as the purpose is attention or getting progress on what should have been done years ago.... years...
If you have an issue with this Lee you are free to call me at any normal hour of the day. In the mean time I suggest we wait in hope on positive feedback on this thread that parts are starting to arrive.

IVE TURNED DOWN BIG JOBS TO TAKE CARE OF THE PENDING ONES.

Thanks for replying Jeff. I hope everyone will be sorted soon.

The statement above is something I wanted to bring out as it seems that not doing this is what often putīs people in trouble. Not saying that you did this wrong in your case but in general.
Popular by demand and rumor and then suddenly too much work to handle, but still taking peoples money. Many have made that mistake and I have been burnt myself. That also ended up in a similar thread like this on one of the American forums and it luckily had a positive outcome for all parties.
Thanks for working through it and I am looking forward for some more positive updates in this thread in the near future.
