I recently ordered a pair of Randee's harp mirror arms with heads for my Double Cab project. I could not be happier! If you look closely at his versus any others- I believe Randee's are the only steel ones with the extra machined groove at the top that allows the mirror head clamp to actually ...clamp!
Anyway, his communication was great, quality of product outstanding. He even personally called me to make sure my order would be fulfilled as I wished. Just all around great service. I'm proud to soon have his craftsmanship on my bus!
Sincerely, Bradford

Randee responded quickly and with more pictures, shipped item quickly as well. Pleasure to deal with.

I ordered a set of RDWs from Randee and must say he was very helpful and asked all the right questions. What beam I was gonna run whether it's narrowed if so how much and what drums being used. He let me know in advance that there would be a waiting period and I was cool with it. I called after the the waiting period passed and he sent me the tracking number the next day. I had no issues with Randee from the get go and would definitely do business with him in the future.

I don't understand why anyone in their right mind would ever order anything from as far as Singapore. Now if he sold on ebay then you have Buyer Protection guarantee wheras PayPal is a virtual entity that offers no protection whatsoever.
Now if you use your Visa or Mastercard as a credit card a d provided you have an invoice request detailing the merchandise plus the terms and condition such as turnaround time, tracking number, airway bill etc then you have proof to contest the charge. You would get your money back and the merchant gets a chargeback.
Just buy from someone in the USA...
You cant have Randar wheels then get Raders from CIP1
Or buy on Ebay
Look how much time and money you have lost.... Is it really worth the aggravation ? |
Um, the guy's location is listed as "Colorado," not Singapore? |

The negative feedback makes no sense to me given my recent purchase from Randee. We spent a good amount of time with both of us on the phone taking measurements, trying to see if things would fit a certain way. Plenty of pictures and communication along the way, and Fedex shows that my wheels should be here this week. I have no issues, whatsoever..

It makes no sense to you because you had a positive experience; you can't relate because you didn't have a negative experience, that's the long and short of it and all there is to understand. lol. Nothing terribly complex. |

Has nobody bought anything from him the passed 6 months or has he gone out of buissiness?
I live in Sweden and I am thinking of buying me a set of randar wheels...but if there are no service anymore, then I will find something else to put on my car. |

Bought a pan from Randee- great price, real nice guy, he even helped me load the damn thing up! Anyway.. ran into a snag, so I called him up and he sent the necessary info to me and all is good! Will deal with again-
Bummer it sounds like people are having a hard time with him.... IMHO he's a top notch guy-

Could anyone tell me if Randee is still around? Been trying to contact him for 2 weeks and he is not returning any email, sms or phone calls.
Trying to sort out a problem with my set of RDW's and being the other side of the pond seems to be an excuse not to communicate !!
