If you believe AEW, anyway.

I've been told before that stuff was "lost in shipping" when I know damn well the person just forgot to send whatever it was. With the tracking systems currently in place, the odds of something truly getting lost in shipping have to be phenomenally low. YMMV. :)

True, which is why I posted earlier that even though AEW had said they had shipped, I still was doubting because the fact that I didn't have tracking numbers. I received the tracking numbers, and they ARE on the way, and they will be here within the 3-4 days Vargas had stated.

Yep. I was just wondering whether they were actually shipped the first time, before they were supposedly lost. Rhetorical question, since there's really no way to know. :)

It's really a shame this has become such a mess. Boss or AEW sure seems to be screwing around with people. I don't think I would buy another set without having them in my hand. And they are great wheels for a good price. I wonder if other people out in the world are having the same problems?? Not to mention that fact that they were supposed to fit 69-72 large brake rotors and still don't.

I got mine last year, and waited 6 months for my rears. They are selling theses faster than they can make them, its just a matter of supply and demand IMOP. As for the non fitting issues, i cant comment, i bought mine knowing that i would need a spacer for the front. They are American made wheels at a great price, and look awesome, so for those who are waiting, if you hang in there, i'm sure you will be very pleased with what you get.

Everything was going smooth with the transaction up until that point, and the trust was still there until other members were posting that they had gotten the same stories as well. Again, I apologize, but when communication is lost, minds start wondering!

Guys, call Vargas at the number I posted. He IS NOT arrogant what so ever (must have been busy when I spoke with him the first time). He's actually pretty cool, and he knows we are all running out of patience.

Brossow- to answer your question directly, it was neither Sublvr72 or AEW at fault, rather the shipping company.

Man I'm glad to see you apologize to Sublvr, Because he was getting killed in this thread. I hope everything works out for the rest of the group.

I agree. I keep looking out the window at mine! They have a hit if they could get the production working.

Lol....HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!! Well, Fed-Ex came today. You know what I got???? 15x7's is some other design that kinda looks like 338's. What in the hell is going on with this sh*t.

Any pics? Almost comical in a sick sense.

Yeh, no sh*t! No pics, I refushed delivery and they took them back to be shipped back to Eagle.

TxSqueeze 06-29-2010 12:38 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Oh, I think I got the guys name wrong at Eagle. I think it's Marcus. Marcus/ Vargas....sounds the same on the phone!! He called me back and is having the front two shipped from Houston right now. Said they will be here either tomorrow or Thursday. About the same time my 20x10's are supposed to be here, if they are even going to be 20x10's when they get here!

Well in my prior post I gave up on the 338 wheels. About 5 months ago I put a few sets on backorder for our store. I just got foose legends now. Today aew called to ship them out to us and I cancelled our order. They were 20x8.5 and 20x10 chrome. So hopefully some of you guys will get your orders filled. Good luck

What warehouse? I'd like Sublvr72 to get on top of this ASAP before someone else nabs them.

Sublvr72,

I hate doing this, but please reply to my PM...I have contacted Eagle/Boss and they still don't have the order that I placed with you on the 21st for the Boss 313's and my credit card has been billed. We had good communication until my card got charged and I haven't heard boo from anyone since - not a good feeling. Not mad, just wanting answers...Thanks!

I posted other contact info for Colin a few posts back. Have you tried any of those?

Guess it was more than a "few" posts back. #808 to be exact. Here's the link. :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Guys, sorry for my lack of presence and replies. I've been on the road traveling for a company I do side work for so my internet is very limited and only where I can find some wifi hot spots. I just cleared out my PM's and replied to those who emailed me.

I'm up in San Francisco at the moment, so there's not a whole lot I can do with checking up on eagle orders until I get back to LA on Wednesday. But I have a meeting with A/E wheel tomorrow so I'll try to get on them and get everything sorted out.

I need to reiterate, as many of you are getting upset with me. I am just the middle man in this as eagle will NOT sell to the public. I'm giving you guys these wheels at a FRACTION over my cost. I'm not in this to make money, I'm doing this to help out you guys on the board get a good deal on some rims.

So for those that are still unclear, I am not personally shipping these rims, they are being dropped shipped from the eagle warehouse that's closest to you and that has them in stock. I have paid eagle for the wheels that you guys ordered already, and it's their responsibility to get them shipped out (and to ship out the correct rims)

I understand some of your frustration with the time it's taking, but as someone has previously stated they are selling more of these rims than they can produce so that's why there are some instances that orders get back ordered. Blowing up my email, PM box, and calling me is NOT going to get them shipped faster.

Now with that said, my phone call with eagle they told me that all orders except the chrome have shipped as of last friday. I can't confirm this as I'm not home yet but as soon as I have confirmation I will update you guys again.

Many thanks for the update and the PM reply. Wishing you the best on your trip, and thanking you for the amazing deal!!

yes you can! I can do a set of 4 20x10 chrome for $900, they have 12 of them in the warehouse down here set aside for me for when I get back to LA

Last time we talked I got your order returned to me from FedEx (again) I keep having international shipping problems with your order. I can see why eagle wouldn't drop ship to canada now. I haven't been home for about 2 weeks now, but I'll be back tomorrow. When I get back I'll get them out again for round 3, hopefully they will get to you this time and won't get returned again...

I received my Grey 20's today:)

They shipped out of Florida Friday. I talked to Marcus at AEW yesterday and he gave me the tracking # and told me that they would be delivered today.

The production date on the fronts is 6/8/10, the rears 4/30/10.

Thanks to everyone involved in this great deal on these rims,

Last update I had for the chrome fronts are that they were in casting, as far as I know they are almost done but they weren't quite done yet.
