Default brianhinson anyone bought from him?

As it says above, I'm concerned because I bought via Paypal a set of 02 Anniversary Leather seats, door panels, floor mats, and carpet earlier this month. He told me it would ship out on May 16th. I contacted him via several email addys and PMs and he said it's taking awhile to pack and ship and that he's referring me to some other guy named Lane (fastlane52@yahoo.com) because Brian is going on his honeymoon and won't be replying to emails. Lane hasn't responed to my email, either.

If anyone has POSITIVE experience about brian or lane, please post, otherwise let me know if it sounds like a bad deal so I can file on Paypal so I can get my $$$$ back.

Brian Hinson is a very good friend of mine, and been so for about 5 yrs now. You have nothing to worry about with him. He's been VERY busy lately with wedding planning and such, and thats probably why he hasn't gotten back with you yet. He's an honest dude, and won't do you wrong. I'll contact him and let him know about this thread...

FWIW, he is getting married as I type this so it could be a couple more days. Hang tight..

Whew, that's a BIG RELIEF, thank you for your reassurance. If I offended anyone who knows him, I aplogize, I'm just under a deadline and have never bought anything this expensive online before.

Go to torquecentral.com to refer to dealings with Brian Hinson. I just sold my V-8 RX-7 not too long ago that's why I know who he is.

Brian will get you your stuff...just maybe a little slow sometimes.

Lane is awesome. One of the best fabricator's I've seen.

Don't worry...you'll get it.

Check www.hinsonsupercars.com for a number. Lane has been answering it *sometimes*, but don't hold your breath. Brian is definitly on his honeymoon, I spoke with Lane a couple days ago.

Call the number on the website and see if Lane answers. However, I bet Brian will be back next week...and you can call him then, since its a long weekend.

I just called and left another message. Apparently he's still on his honey moon, however I've informed him of the situation and this thread. He'll back with you as soon as he gets the message I assume.....
