Angry Current EV Tech - WARNING !!!

I ordered one single CALB cell 11/02/2010
Payment via PayPal, so the money got quick to Current EV Tech.

After a month I got nervous and asked via e-mail about the status of my order - no reply!
Two weeks later i asked again - no reply!
I canceld my order and wanted my money back - no reply!
One week ago I ask again - no reply!
I took the forum-message system to write to Dave - no reply!

This is a very dubious attitude and in my opinion beguilement!

Please be careful with Dave Kois and Current EV Tech!
It costs me $232.60 to find out that there are black sheeps in the flock.

Hi Michael,

I just sent you a PM. I will make sure this is taken care of ASAP. I did not recieve your emails and thought you had already recieved the battery as it was supposed to be shipped directly to you.

Best Regards

Angry Re: Current EV Tech - WARNING !!!

I am having a similar experience with Current EV Tech. I ordered a license plate holder for a Tesla over 3 weeks ago. I got 2 automated confirmations of my order a few days later, and have not heard anything since.
I have sent two emails and left 4 phone messages on two different phone numbers. Neither my emails, nor phone calls, have been returned.
It is a shame that someone who caters to this small, close-knit community would not even return a phone call.

HMMMM certainly not looking good. Could people let us know if these issues are in fact resolved or not.

If so, let us know how you got on and what happened.
If not, let us know the steps you took.
People can make up their own minds but remember there are 2 sides to every story.

I got a refund by post(check), so I got the majority of costs back.
Currency conversions, back fee, took about $35 Dollars, so I lost 15%.

Thats not cool, did they advise on the site (or however you ordered) that there may be a backorder situation or anything? Not cool to say you have something when you dont.

Do they typically indent order and your order wasnt viable for them?

Be interesting to know, anyhow its good to hear you are not too far out of pocket, will keep eye on thread to see second outcome.

The delivery time was about a few weeks ... might look at the correspondence.

There is a disclaimer on the website now:
"We do not currently have any CALB cells in stock in our U.S. warehouse. We are in the process of bringing in a large order to stock the warehouse. For the current lead time please contact us."

That's OK. But I am a guy who likes binding appointments, so if anyone says f.ex. "within two weeks" and I don't hear anything after two weeks I get nervous.
So it might be not the right company to me.

Perhaps another day everything would be perfect, but I'll never know that
