Default Not happy with this APR EMCS thing. Still not shipping, charged my card a month ago.

APR charged my credit card last month, June 28th to be exact. Still no phone call from them. I don't mind it if they are running behind, I do mind it when I am charged for something, and am not called, or otherwise notified of delays.

If you have problems getting something out the door, don't charge people for the updgrade until you get their ECU to upgrade, or are ready to ship.<p><img SRC="http://www.kunikos.com/sigs/sig4.jpg">

Default I hate that too, I was charged for my UUC vm2 2 weeks before it was shipped then I canceled.

And it took 2 weeks for my MTM exhaust that I ordered instead to get here after that and it was still charged. Waiting a month for things that you've already paid for is not cool.

Default Not only that.... but

They charged me for a new ECU! It might be wise to check out their database to see.. I ALREADY BOUGHT ONE!

Yes, I was quite pissed to see a $800+ charge on my CC! Supposedly, they fixed it... I have yet to call the bank and confirm.

If APR needed to charge us to 'fund' the project, at least a) tell us that and b) have the brains to build a email contact list to give us weekly updates.

"Hi, this is APR, and we are still delayed due to lack of supply of ecm chips.. more to follow"

That took a few seconds.... not that difficult either...


whatever...

Default Very sorry about this--

We "should" be shipping this week. There have been delay after delay that have been totally out of our control. We are sorry about not posting each and every time. We will try to get something up on the webpage today.

We are very close,

Thanks

Don't charge the card until you ship the product
