Aiden James Customs - Anyone heard from them lately?

Lol. I’m not going to buy anything here, don’t have a 14+ anyways, was just looking to replace my interior with LEDs. But it cracks me up how different this thread would be if Gobi was the subject. I get there’s a difference in billing, but Gobi goes well over their time quotes, lies about shipping, and has horrible customer service. At least this guy’s trying to respond, and sounds like if you get tired of the wait you get your money back. Dunno what more there is.

If this thread was about gobi it would be going down the exact same way. Everyone on this forum loves to hate on GOBI (like your post). GOBI does not really have an excuse for slow shipping and communication and neither does AJC
 
And yet that’s exactly what Pelfrey said right up until the day they filed bankruptcy on everyone.

I’m curious Scott, it seems that you’ve been deflecting a lot of this controversy and dismissing it as “lies” and telling everyone we have it out for you. Like I said on the FB group I literally have no motive in banning you other than protecting the rest of the community. I own no shop, have no competing products, yet you tell everyone I just have it out for you rather than accepting that you ****ed up.

Do you care to address this head on and maybe clear things up for your customers?

- I sent you messages last January (a year ago) about issues relating to your LED bezels and communication issues on T4R and other places. You stated you were busy but that you were working on ways to get them done faster (which I accepted as this was a custom product). Yet here we are a full year later with the same exact customer complaints, communication issues, and the same exact excuse on your end. Except now you’ve come to the recent realization that you need to keep track of the orders via spreadsheets and timelines, which to me should have been done from the beginning. You seem to lack how to keep track of ordering, and from an outside perspective that is concerning.

- I’ve gotten complaints that people have placed orders from you for particular products and not gotten a response on lead times despite constant attempts. Come to find out, these products were either never ordered, or you waited to order said products to get a holiday discount from the manufacturer. I have two separate complaints, about two separate companies, from two separate individals about this. Any comments? Why are you lying to your customers and telling them you’ve placed orders on parts to keep them waiting when you’re just holding out on a better deal for yourself to make more money?

- Your online posts seem to care more about your reputation and giving the illusion of doing the right thing/giving the same excuses rather than actually doing something about it. It’s been over a year of the same complaints and nothing has seemed to change.

I’ve held my tongue on here and on FB because I feel you needed the opportunity to turn things around, but given your posts I feel that you’re more interested in turning a blind eye to valid complaints versus actually addressing them.

The silence is deafening

As I’ve stated several times, I don’t get notifications of new messages in this thread.

Either way, I am in contact with those with open orders and have changes in place to better communicate with those customers with lead times and to stick to getting the kits built and caught up. I also have invested a bunch of money in a company to replicate the bezels that Toyota wasn’t producing fast enough as well as they will be making the kits to my specs for me. Yes lead times have been long and I own that and realize I’m behind the eight ball but rest assured my wife and I are making the changes to better support our current and future customers.

Also to note, a customer has NEVER not received their kit nor a full refund.

There is much going on to make things better in this new year, it all cannot be said here. You’re happy to shoot me an email if you have questions. [email protected]

Take care and I look forward to putting this all to bed as this is our main focus.

Sincerely,

Scott

I’ll reach out to you when I get back in town. Seems you only have one side of the story on some stuff.

:suspicious:

As I’ve stated several times, I don’t get notifications of new messages in this thread.

[MENTION=121627]Toyota-Tech[/MENTION] Good morning, If you have tried this please disregard. I am not a customer but might have a solution for email notifications. Open up a new email account so your current email add doesn't get swamped.
Now back on this forum, go to user cp (control panel), click "edit your details", first tab is "edit email and password", enter your new email add.
Now go back to this thread, click on "thread tools", and you will see "subscribe to this thread", click on that tab and you should see a tab that says "no email notification". Click on that tab and choose the notification frequency you need. Then click "add subscription". I get instant email notifications for numerous threads on here, seems to work pretty well and is very helpful. Hope this helps and good luck with your business!

Thank you for that info! I’ll check it out.

This guy can’t catch a break...



It’s ok. I know where I’ve made mistakes and am owning them and making the changes to get all the bezel orders out and have already improved communication ten-fold. I just wish those who don’t have the actual facts as they aren’t a customer and aren’t in communication with me would keep their $.02 since they have no idea of what I am doing to make things right with these bezel kits. I will show the nay sayers that I’m not the person I’m being made out to be.

See you don’t have your facts right. I don’t have orders that old and never have as I’m working through them. I also got behind during a big rush of orders during the end of 2017 while I was working full time at Toyota. I’ve never made excuses, just provide the details of what I’ve had happen or dealt with. To note, there is another local guy building raptor light kits and struggles getting blank switch plates from Toyota too. Either way, I will say it again that I am owning up to my faults and now have the time and resources in place to get it all right and my customers are in the know of what’s going on since I’ve improved my communication.

I have my facts straight, you know how I came up with 1 and 1/2 years??? Look at the date of the beginning of this thread, people began complaining about your horrible customer service in this very thread, starting at the beginning of this thread up until now.... This very thread serves as a timeline.

You said you haven't made excuses....you are making excuses this very instant. Nobody cares what you do for a living or if this is a side job...you run a business, and if you don't know how to run one, then get someone who can.

Btw, nice 4runner...we see how you spend your free time.......instead of working on backorders..

As I’ve stated, I know I messed up and am making the changes necessary. Have a great evening! [emoji8]

I do have a question. Do you make it a point to comment in threads about Gobi who has many employees and has many of the same issues like this, or do you just like going after a business with only one employee trying to get a biz off the ground?
