Default Help has anyone heard from John (Fuddle)

I ordered my converter almost a month ago so I tried calling but no one called back. I also tried emailing but it always came back because there were to many messages in John's email box. John if your reading this I am not pissed I am just concerned because I payed already and have not received anything. Has anyone had recent problems like this or has anyone heard from him?

From what I have heard Fuddle use to be a good company but lately their customer service has been sucking badly and they don't ship in a timely manner at all. If you can get your money back do that and go for a Yank, Vig, or Circle D converter.

Didn't want to have to do that but it looks like I just might have to since he took my 500 dollars and can't even give me a call or email response back to let me know what's going on. John if your reading this contact me asap, I sent you my info so you know who I am, before I begin the process of getting my money back.

Oh you will be, seen it time and time again right here.
There should be a pop up ad that warns people of dealing with that dirtbag.

Same here. Glad I chose to go with Circle D. With all the complaints i've heard about Fuddle, I'm surprsed people aren't going to the BBB to resolve their probs.

Alright, it's been a month and no response from fuddle. So I took korndawg's advice, John if you're reading this I reported you to the BBB of Utah and my credit card company. I think I was more than patient and i just want my money back. I'd rather pay a little more for a better product like a yank at least I know I will get it.

the LS1 Tech staff has had luck getting a response from fuddle so try and Post the issue in the sponsor feedback thread as well. Plus it will be easier to keep track of the issues with Fuddle.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls1tech-sponsor-feedback-70/


PS anyone interested do a search for Fuddle in the sponsor feedback forum. scary that anyone still buys from fuddle when 99% of all the posts there are delinquent problems on Fuddles part.

ya know i get sick and irritated of people asking bout fuddle and getting screwed over there money. we have seen all the threads bout which converter to use and a damn near all of us auto guys run vigilante, yank and even circle D makes good stuff. why do u guys continue to go with a cheap converter amazes me. if our trannies already suspect why would u put in a cheap converter...


i understand if yur a noobie and this and that, but u post a thread asking which size converter and what brand, we tell u guys that u cant go wrong with vigilantes or yanks and u still buy a cheap converter..

its obvious this fuddle dudes company is NO BUENO!!!!!!!! so quit buyin from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
