Howdy,

I dealt with Grant before. While I found him a pain, I seriously doubt that he would commit fraud. The parts I got were as advertised

Still I had a couple of beefs. First, he refused to calculate actual shipping, instead suggesting I send approximately 60-70% more than what actual shipping was. While this was only about $3 and some change, it was the principle. When pointing out actual shipping charges, he got all huffy, asking me if "we were going to be that way." Second, he was slow at replying and rather rude and condescending.

Still, I doubt that he would rip anyone off. From my dealings, I would assume he is disorganized and rude. My advice, explain the situation to him one more time. If you receive no response, perhaps consider calling him if you can get a number. If you can't work it out at that point, then step on him.

Regards,

John Taglia
