I recently bought an alternator stand and two oil caps from Richie. I received the items without problems.
Good communication, he is always willing to help. I would do business with Richie again.
Thank you,
Saul (Mexico) |

I had seen an AD for Ghia parcel shelf & sent e-mail was told can't find it or lost or some such BS. Yeah I missed out on a NOS Ghia parcel shelf for a $175 cost range what a deal. Then two or three weeks later I get an email saying OH here your shelf & email linked me to AD same AD BUT cost had gone up way UP to over $300. I thought what's going on? I asked about the condition issues & was told NOS & only one small defect in nylon. Great sent his NEW double asking price over $300. I got the Shelf & it was not NOS & had what appeared to be a cigarette burn on nylon & frame had a coat of RUST & other issues like no paperwork & did I say missing parts. Then I tried to fit into my Ghia guess what DID NOT FIT GHIA! I sent back right then & had it my hands less than two hours. I had e-mailed him saying it's on it way back do to not fitting & missing parts etc. then days later I get E-mail telling me to file a damage claim with PO. There was no damage from shipping & he wants me to defraud the PO? No thanks. I told him you will have back in a day or so. He got back on a Monday & waited till Friday to contact me after I had e-mailed because I knew he had back & signed for it. I had e-mailed mid week asking for my $$ back . Here comes the story about the fact that parcel was damaged? I asked for photos 3 times now & have seen nothing He also claims has note from PO saying damage done in transit, I have seen no proof of anything & he asking to file a claim with PO. I have told him SHOW me the proof. Then there the story of him braking a leg? well if did , bummer & get well soon. Sounds to me like another BS story. Make sure if deal with this piece if work you have in writing because you can't take on his word it not worth squat! NOS to me means New Old Stock unless told otherwise & I was not told missing parts & rusted !!!!!!  |

Man.. Is this going to get ugly over 65 bucks?
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1565226
This is the part i bought from you.. received it, and its the wrong part!! This is for a 68 and up dash.. There are numbers on the bag that tell you the part number.. I guess you didnt look them up..(you can not read it in the add) 68 and up is slightly smaller then 58-67..there is a difference do to the padded dash..!(58-67 is where you have it listed) I email you for a refund two days ago.. no responce.. I will give you today to respond.
Also .. you need to move the add to the 68 and up section so this doesnt happen to someone else. I dont mind paying 65 bucks for the RIGHT parts.. but im not paying 65 bucks for the wrong ones..

Update - 03 Feb 2014
Received a refund from Richard for the amount of $102.78 (which is still short $10.87). I've heard no word back from him as to why I am responsible for the postage when it was his employee's mistake?
And he showed his true character by sending a little love note in his paypal message:
Note from RICHARD DE FABRIZIO:
No more postings. No more emails. No more queries for merchandise. I've maintained a STERLING PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION in this business for the better part of half a century & will continue to do so. My business with you is finished.
If by not responding to emails, then admitting it was your guys fault, then lying about the lens being NOS to the site administrator and finally short changing me means you have a STERLING PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION, you got me.
You're behavior was dishonest, deceitful and fraudulent. Good luck to you. |
Funny.. he is doing the same thing to me.. 10% restocking fee on a part he has listed incorrectly? I should be getting 10% for him wasting my time!

I recently purchased some manuals from Richie and it was a very smooth and trouble free sale. They arrived very quickly and were packed in such a way that they would not get damaged.
Will deal with Richie again.

Tried to buy a NOS muffler from Ritchie only to find out he had already sold it. So, he goes out of his way to trudge through his stuff only to find one that is even better than what I wanted originally. He gave me a good price and it was here before the check cleared.
Great experience with him. Buy from him if you can.

New old-stock German trim rings. 66/67. Eight slots. may fit earlier smoothies?
These are German; had them boxed away (in storage) for a couple of decades...

They will fit all 4.5" x 15" four-lug rims.

Yes, but if you knew they were the wrong ones (part number included, so you could double-check) why did you buy them...?

His message says he couldn't read the part # in the ad to know they were wrong.
I made the text above larger to highlight that.
