    you're not being dinged. (or maybe i don't understand the term) i was simply commenting on the correlation between your threads and the o/p's comments. i apologize if it was offensive to you :)

    huh.. ha! wait... so because I don't have an air-conditioned garage to work on my car and post of me traveling while performing maintenance on my car in parking garages means I'm homeless? then... like... woo sahhh... all of your words are based on your assumption with no regard for you having the wrong interpretation... what happens then is, all of these words from you and the OP about scam which have no statement of facts... and then we are here, with the pitch forks saying burn it down....

    when I still don't know if OP even placed an order and its been almost 12 hours with all of these comments...

    no you weren't. just was trying to understand your response in the correlation between my threads and the o/p... he said I'd posted nearly 40 times on this forum since he asked for a refund and I don't see how any of this says I am a scam... then thought you were counting the no updates on posts I started as a negative representation of me and my character... a ding...

    The internet has a way of allowing people to give their advice or opinion on topics they don't have personal experience with.

    If you could provide some form of a number, whether it be a phone or other via the private message on this site, I can look into your order.

    There are countless manufacturers with online retail shops that warn of delays that can happen. Many folks understand certain items can be delayed, I might have it wrong but it's that simple. I am trying to link, the account 2PriusGarage to an order in our system and have yet to be provided anything linking you to a customer. Not sure how to proceed from here.

    Why don't you try checking the email address on your web site rather than trying to conduct business on this community forum? You will find numerous attempts to contact you with complete order details for a refund. But instead, for some reason you keep coming back here... hmmm.

    For those of you who managed to read to the bottom of this lengthy string, hopefully now you have enough information to draw your own conclusion about making a purchase from PriusOverlanding.

    This will be my last posting on this topic.

    So then, this post is to forever sit on the interweb and the OP hasn't provided any verification of an order placed... scam in the title and all huh...

    @2PriusGarage I was able to read his response and it literally makes no sense and is just a bunch of total BS excuses as why he cannot refund people. Then I looked further and found other people talking about the same experiences. Looks like priusoverlanding aka Duwayne is a known problem in other forums.
    Like I and others said… CHARGEBACK
    You will be victim just like everyone else when that window closes.

    I love the support folks, like I stated earlier happy to give OP a refund, but still... no link to OP and an actual customer who placed an order.

    Quotes from Duwayne:

    "some [Prius owners] have such a high level of pretentiousness as if to feel empowered by their MPG"

    "So here we have it… the majority against one. A majority are so set in their ways that they don’t even venture out to have enough compromise to entertain anything other than their beliefs."

    "After purchasing aftermarket slotted and drilled, I noticed my Plug-in system accumulated EV range faster while braking down a street I’ve driven since high school. "

    "It’s now, where in what I thought was a community of enthusiasts, think outside the box people I find myself. Initially, it was, I wanted my car to do X, then it went to well these folks want to do it as well… if I can help them experience what I can, all will be well…. Nahhh…"

    Much appreciated rjparker. That site / page is ad click revenue driven and I don’t want the site to have a copy of all the webpages I visited and resell it to other big tech companies.
