Ripped off by Import-store.com

I don't know for sure, but I think I've been con'd.
I ordered a Blitz DTT Turbo Timer from Import-store.com on 26 Jun. I emailed them yesterday to check the status and the email came back undeliverable.
I tried their web site and it's down.
I called the phone number listed by my bank for the debit card I used and NO Answer!
Anybody else have any dealings with them?

2 weeks, that's it? heck it took me 2 months to get my TT from another place. i'd give them a little more time. every dealing i've had so far involving car parts has taken an extraordinary amount of time to complete.

If you want a honest seller, talk to me. I wont try to rip anyone off. Bishiboy, if your turbo timer issue doesnt get resolved, talk to me and I'll get you a good price.

I think you misunderstood what I said as "I'll try not to rip anyone off" instead of "I will not try to rip anyone off" which means exactly what it says........there's no other way to phrase it. I know companies out there try to rip people off when they get the chance. I'm straight up honest, ask anyone that has bought from me. I wont attempt to pull anything on anyone. I know how it feels because I'm a comsumer as well.

Dang it, what's wrong with this forum not notifying me of replies anymore. I stumbled across your replies just browsing the General section.

I'm starting an online store on the socalevo.net website. I'm working with a local speedshop to supply parts. We have a pretty nice warehouse here in SoCal. If we dont have it in stock, i can get it within the week if it isnt out of stock from the manufacturer too.

Bishiboy, what is it that you're looking to buy? I can start getting the prices for you now. No pressure to buy though.
