Recent Karbonius orders

[Epoustouflant]

I guess, this response was directed towards me for some reason even though this guy's issue was with Tbonem3. This is guy can not bare to have his name referenced.

My comment was towards Tyler not you. Since you want to make an issue of this, I will respond for the 100th time to you. My comment about you was:

"Wow, I am sorry to hear about your Matt/Euroconnex experience but that doesn’t surprise me. I honestly wouldn’t place an order through Matt/Euroconnex if the CSL air boxes were being sold for a $1."

There were two sentences that pertained to you. The first sentence was condolences based on the experience described in the post. My second sentence was me stating that I would never do business with you, ever. Both sentences are completely true and genuine statements.

Yes, I would gladly pay extra to have assurances that if something goes wrong with a purchase, then I will actually get results and not excuses. If you want to organize group buys then you need to take responsibility to help correct any issues that arise from it, like that dumpster fire second Supersprint group buy that you have going on. I see a lot of unhappy people there. You should focus your energy there instead of using your energy to deal with someone else's post. You need to take action to correct the issues from your group buy, instead of making excuses and washing your hands of the problems.

But hey, you said in your post that you wanted me to apologize, so here goes:

Matt, I am sorry that I did business with you. I am sorry that I put my trust in you to help me resolve issues stemming from your group buy.

I hope that helps you get the closure that you desperately need.

That's a double down and a back handed apology. Why don't you say how you really feel?

It much rather feel like you need some form of emotional closure as you still hold a grudge for events that happened a year ago. I thought I provided that to you here.

RE: Your SS experience
You can state you had a bad experience with Turner/ECS on a GB I coordinated. That wouldn't be wrong and its useful feedback that I have carried into other GBs.

I would answer the same things I did in the past here.

In short, your expectations were wrong, ironically Tyler also thought you had wrong expectations back then.

Lessons were learned: damaged products are replaced in priority from stock over pending orders because only deposits were taken and not full payments. I have more control over MPower's decision making than Turner's. Expectations are better set and people understand.

Didn't you know I also received a dented rear section? You can't even see the poetic irony even as you scour the forum for my stumbles.

If you expect people you are condescending, disregard the facts and proceed to insult to help you, you need to get on with the times.

RE: Tyler's experience with Karbonius x EuroConnex
To be clear, the experience Tyler related in his post appears to me like confusion on charges that were on his invoice. I didn't get the time to clear it up and he found a hack. Good for him! You attributed intentions to screw him over: that's the part you interpreted.

I came into this thread seeing Tyler's OP about delays because I care for his experience, and Karbonius' reputation.

It isn't Tyler's responsibility to follow up on your derogatory posts. My credibility is at the core of my business - responding to false accusations is my responsibility.

You shouldn't get surprised you get told about your BS. Denying my right to call out your irrational dislike of me just speaks to your motive and the condescending rhetorics you use to make your case about my "energy".

People that try new things fail - more at 11'! Worry about things you can control.

Enjoy,
Matt

I'm a hacker!

HA, I guess that I am a hacker too , since I did the same thing after you did. I was not charged any fees nor paid the 3%.

So, I missed this thread.

What Tbonem3 said about EUR is wrong. I quote members a direct EUR to USD conversion for convenience, which Karbonius re-converts using our 1:1 rate along with a member discount. That's clearly explained on the website. See attached.



Tbonem3 benefited from what is essentially a hack in Karbonius' ordering system and was able to pay via CC without paying the 3% fees they charge on top of anything but wire transfers.

Good for him for saving 50$. Karbonius didn't know and closed that loop. They supported me and honoured our agreement while still giving him the deal.

What I wish he'd say is you insinuated that was my fee when it wasn't. You jumped the gun. Nothing here is a reason to get my name dragged through the mud by you.

At least I know where you stand: you've made it clear you'll irrationally hate on what I do and even how much you're willing to pay to sustain those feelings.

You're going to apologize, double down or stay silent for another opportunity to take your shot?

Stuff improves because of guys like you - I'm genuinely glad you got a good deal. Enjoy the box.

Great, I guess that I will be going that route. I am the same way, I have been programmed to make purchases with a credit card just to ensure that the protections are there.

Wow, I am sorry to hear about your Matt/Euroconnex experience but that doesn’t surprise me. I honestly wouldn’t place an order through Matt/Euroconnex if the CSL air boxes were being sold for a $1.

On a separate note, I am ordering an CSL airbox and a CSL carbon roof since the euro/dollar exchange rates are so favorable. I want to get the parts in the same OEM CSL weave pattern and finish.

I wanted to confirm: the OEM CSL airbox uses a 2x2 weave with a gloss finish and the OEM CSL roof uses a 1x1 weave with a gloss finish?

Thanks Slide. Guess I need to find a picture of one installed.

Dumb question. Is the difference between the race box and the standard box that the race box comes with a built in snorkel? I assume the built in snorkel has no flap. Are there any downsides to going this route?

Thanks.

D-O

No, the main filtered section is the same for the race and standard airbox. It's only the looks of the unfiltered section, weight and cost where they differ. I'd say the race is always the one to get if you can get over the step where the snorkel should be. It would be nice if they made that a smooth transition like on the OEM CSL race airbox, but they probably have to make another mold for the unfiltered section and it would not be compatible (strut tower clearance) on other chassis.

Just to confirm, my Karbonius order is arriving next week and I got the message from DHL to pay the duty fee.

[Tbonem3]

Anybody getting or have a karb box and NOT using a CSL IAT? Is there a known plug for the port? (besides sacrificing another csl iat)

[repoman89]

You guys are getting me all excited .. eight-ish weeks since I ordered my race box so it must not be far behind!

[DJAM3]

I'm coming up on 9 weeks for my race box order too. We'll see if I have to pay duty fees. I have a roof coming too .

I didn't pay any duties on my euro bumper from Schmiedman.

[Tbonem3]

No duties paid for either Karbonius or Schmiedman orders (within the last 2 months).

How lol
