Thumbs down M-force - Fly By Night Business?

Just to inform.
By definition the title is asking if M-Force is a business that is "Unreliable or unscrupulous, especially with regard to business dealings".

I ask this question because;
I purchased an M-Tech rr spoiler for my 06 330xi on 3/9/10 from Frank@M-Force with the understanding that the time to ship will be 5 days. Long story short, I still do not have a spoiler or a tracking number.
I have had numerous Private Messages from Frank telling me that it will ship on this Monday, well that was two Mondays in a row now that Frank promised shipment and I got nothing to show for my money.

In all fairness to Frank he did send me a set of performance scoops to try and make up for the time lost with my merchandise, however that was over two weeks ago Frank sent those and I still do not have my spoiler.
I sent Frank a PM yesterday explaining to him that if I did not receive my money back or a tracking number by 10:00pm (EST) last night I was starting this thread so he is fully aware that this post is being made.

When I checked my paypal account this morning and had no deposit from Frank@M-Force, I felt as though I had no other option than to start this thread.

Does anyone know if M-Force is a legit business or are they just a couple of guys buying parts from another country in a desperate attempt to make a profit?

I personally will not recommend M-Force to anyone on this forum or anywhere else for that matter! I feel as though they are making promises they have no control over, so unless you are a very patient person and do not mind sending someone your hard earned money with no anticipation of receiving anything in return, then I would definitely use another vendor.

Frank I am sorry I had to go this route but I gave fair warning. At this point I just want a refund.

it is a legitimate business but their shipping has been very slow lately.I waited about 6 weeks for my CF splitters, which promptly arrived after I filed a paypal dispute. Great fit & finish on the splitters too!

Good to know! I was thinking of doing the same thing! Thanks for the input!

This stuff comes from out side the US and takes some time. I have been buying from M-Force for years. This is most likely a supply issue.

I agree. I initially ordered my aero lip spoiler at the end of January. I received the initial one, but had to send it back a month ago due to some issues. I still haven't received a replacement, nor any replies to my e-mails in the past few days.

I believe a paypal dispute may be in order.

I would be completely fine with something taking some time, but dont tell me it is gonna be 5 days to ship it then! I hate when I am blatantly misled!

Kinda sucks that everyone is having such a bad experience...I purchased an aerolip and a couple of other knick knacks from Frank fall of last year and it shipped out quick and I received it in less than a week.

Hope that it all works out for the OP and others running into the same troubles...

I haven't had problems with M-Force before, but if this is how they are acting now, I'd ask for a prompt refund and buy elsewhere.

I havent heard from Frank in days! I gave him the option of pm'ing me a tracking number that worked or a refund in my paypal by 10:00pm on.... I think it was Tuesday evening, or I was going to the forum and I had no money and no tracking number, not even a pm, so here we are.
