I ordered a battery from www.MotorcyclebatteriesUSA.com (http://www.motorcyclebatteriesusa.com/) on Friday, February 3, 2006 11:47 AM.
Paid using PayPal, got the confirmation from PayPal by email.
I still have not received the battery.
I have emailed them several times at ADMINISTRATION@MOTORCYCLEBATTERIESUSA.COM (ADMINISTRATION@MOTORCYCLEBATTERIESUSA.COM) but still no word.
I have emailed them from the contact page on their site and still no word.
I sent a FAX to the number listed on the Contact Page, no answer.

I did a whois search on motorcyclebatteriesusa.com and got:

Administrative Contact : Morgan, Tom customerservice@motorcyclebatteriesusa.com 3943 Irvine Blvd. #239 Irvine, CA 92602 US Phone: 949-654-8185

I called the number and it rings with no answer until the call gets dropped.
I can't find a listing for them in Irvine,CA.

More research turned up MBU inc. as a parent company.
Again no luck locating a voice line number.

Can someone do a reverse lookup on this address and get me the voice line?
3943 Irvine Bl.#239
Irvine CA 92602

I'm just a little perturbed at this point as you may have guessed!

OUCH,

Sounds like an experience I recently had.

Good luck sorting it out..Sounds like you need to reverse the sale through Paypal and move on.. No phone# on website is kind of a bad sign...

I feel your pain..

Dave I had the same experience with the same company and glad I used my credit card. after several weeks I had the charges cancelled and never heard from the battery co. Ordered the battery from a different co and had the battery in a couple of days. It appears that this is some kind of scam, I called information for the phone number and thier phone was disconnected. CC company came through.

I got an email back the day I ordered it (Friday the 3rd) saying it would ship out Monday the 6th and be 5 business days to me.
I'm glad to hear you got your order.
Maybe I'll receive mine.
I'm checking with PayPal on my options.

Since the Bozo in charge of MotorcycleBatteriesUSA.com refuses to answer my inquiries about the battery I ordered but has yet to delivered,
I filed the complaint with PayPal's Resolution Center.

PayPal turned this around quickly. I had email waiting this morning from PayPal and the Vendor. The refund was already in my PayPal account.

The Email I received from the vendor:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir, these batteries just came in today, we are very sorry for this extended delay. The factory told us at least 3 different delivery dates, and kept pushing back the date we could ship the order to you. We will issue the refund thru PayPal today.
Thank you
MBUSA


My response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would have just communicated that information to me in a timely manor, all of this could have been avoided.
I ordered from you because several folks I know have had good experiences ordering from you.
Good Communication makes for Good Customer Service. This is my industry, I live it every day as I'm sure you do as well.
I hope you view this email as an offer of constructive criticism from a customer.
I appreciate you processing the refund in a timely manor.
Thanks

Hey, Dave - I know the batteries can be had cheaper than where I've purchased my two, butt I use BatteryMart, and ax 'em if there are any current discounts or free shipping (all they can say is no!!). And, I've gotten expected service from 'em both times.
