OKShon.com addiction

[WingZ]

Just wondering if anyone else was suffering from this addiction as well. If so maybe we can start a self help group online:biggrin:

It gets worse when they make you wait 4 months for your stuff :frown:

air parcel post, they don't know what they're doing at okshon, it took 2 months to clarify all of my items were in the warehouse, then they were gone for 3 weeks during the Christmas holiday, then they had server issues, then I paid to ship them... and got tracking numbers 3 weeks later. The difference between air mail and surface mail is that 3 weeks, but they took that long to ship after I paid them. I finally have tracking numbers for my auction goods from October 2006, but 1 of the 4 doesn't work, and the other 3 haven't moved since arriving at Osaka last week.

Did I mention they also charge horrendous fees, have a crappy conversion rate, take forever to refund deposits, and take 4 days to respond to emails?

I have paid $2600 for a number of items through okshon (approx 15), and this is how I was treated - if I were you I would look for a different broker.

Wow! geez as soon as I get my stuff I'll move on. Who would you recommend as an alternative? I love all the unusual stuff I can find over Yahoo ,but your right the fee's are high. I'm still waiting for all my items to get in. They've been very quick to respond to my emails though , crossing my fingers that that will continue to be the case. I'm waiting to buy one more item then I'm done!

I honestly don't know of of anyone else , but please steer clear of OKshon at all costs! I had to use paypal resolutions to get them to send some of my stuff and the other items I had to have my CC company refute charges as they were to old for paypal! I emailed them countless times with either a stupid or no response. After awhile they stopped responding altogether. I was going to try japamart.com next time something catches my eye. Anyone you do decide to use let them know upfront if "you haven't shipped items in two weeks I will refute charges or open a paypal resloution" don't mess around with them!

I was looking at those also, aren't they actually 17/17 and the wrong offset ??
Unless there is another set I haven't looked for a couple of days.

Wingz,

Thanks for the tip. I don't want 'em that bad, but pretty bad.

Good catch! The pic sure looks like 16/17 but I did not catch the specs.

These rims, right?

 

[simonprelude]

Yes those are the ones, actually FD size, 17/17 also spacers needed for NSX.

I used Okshon.com also and I'll never use them again. Took a long time to recieve the items. Plus they don't have any tech support because they never answer your emails... You would think they would answer emails since you pay so much for their service.
