---------------------
**Update** Okay guys....After some good communications from Tommy, I have tracking!!!!! They have been picked up by FedEx, and show that I should have them on this Thursday the 18th!!!! So Tommy looks to have started a turn around as he has been saying he is trying to do! So I want everyone to TRY to take the positives out of this thread! He came through, and for that I am grateful!
DAMN IT TOMMY!!! PLEASE GET GOING MAN....GET CAUGHT UP SO YOU CAN KEEP BRINGIN' AWESOME PRODUCTS OUT!!!
----------------------
__________________
So call ME and IDIOT Please!!!!!...Made a deal this last weekend for some side ground effects for the Magnum, that he had already made..I believe they came of the white Magnum that I have posted pictures before. All he had to do was ship them. Previous PM's from sometime ago, said they were boxed and ready to go..So several PM's were exchanged between me and Tommy, with one being below:
Re: Body Kit
i can ship them out tuesday , ill box them up tomorrow.
paypal - tommyzsales@aol.com
if u dont get a tracking number by weds, reverse your paypal. im not a crook and id never steal a dollar from anyone.
Got PM right back with every question I had..Money sent, and then of course NO FURTHER CONTACT from him. No tracking, blah blah..Paypal disupte filed, etc! I checked the last time he logged in several times a day, and he has been online many times in the past week since the deal closed...But no response.
So YES I am a dumbA$$ after all of this crap with everyone else going on. I thought for sure I would be safe..My question is HOW IN THE HECK CAN HE STILL BE ALLOWED TO BE A VENDOR ON THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am to the point of saying that he needs to be BANNED from these forums. How can LXFORUMS let this go on?????????? None of you Tommy followers can possibly make excuse for him, unless he has died. I have many PM's on this deal. So lesson learned. I am not going to take excuse by excuse everyday from him, and let this go on for months!!!! His on PM said to file the claim with Paypal, and you can bet I did yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He paid to be a vendor, he gets to stay a vendor. We (you) get to critique his performance, good or bad, and others get to read your comments. If it doesn't go well, then he may or may not pony up for another year. Can't ban somebody from vendor status unless they break the actual vendor rules.

Sorry to here but not suprised. you should have read all the theads about his terrible service, lack of responses and broken promises. Since when can the sender reverse a paypal transaction?
Not sure if he's moving on or just just trying to shaft more forum members but I got email today that he is now supporting vendor on charger Z forum.

I have to agree with lowriderman on this as well. Paying to be a vendor doesn't give you carte blanche for an entire year to false advertise, bait and switch, hoodwink, and/or anything else that is not absolutely above board and respectable. As this forum should be, and has been.

He has nothing I want either, but that's not really the point. I've heard too many stories of his unprofessional, quasi-criminal behavior and I would hope he'd eventually be removed from the forum. Even if it meant giving him his money back. He'd probably even be surprised by that one. Granted, most on here know of his already poor reputation, but what about all the new folks that join the forum and get duped by him as their first impression of what it's like to buy from someone advertising here at LXForums?

i have to agree with you,
IMO just my opinion.......the point of having vendors here is to help, be honest and care for the LX/LC Community and its members
right?
if they knowingly with proof do wrong, and apparently on several occasions, why isnt there a clause towards the performance of that vendors reliability with the LX/LC community? or is there?

This really is bad. Not only is Mark a good customer to us, he is a good friend to serveral BT members. Again, seeing another one get boned, well, I have alread went off before. Those just reading a post from me just search out my prior posts. You will find what I think.
TZ, here is what I will do; if you have this kit for Marks Maggie, if you really have it, send me an email at heidivpi@fdn.com NOT A PM. A real email.
I willl provide you multiple ways so that you can get Mark his body kit. I will pay for the cost to ship the products to Mark. I will call and arrange for any UPS, FedEx or freight carrier to come pick this up at your shop or home and have it on its way to our fellow LX brother. Hey your location clearly states you will be where ever there is a fellow LX'er in need. Well TZ, our fellow Lx'er Lowriderman is in need of his parts. You found the need to dip into his wallet and take his cash. Now its time to find the need to get him his stuff NOW!
TZ you claim you are changing and want to improve. Hey here is a concept. Have the product boxed up, then send the customer a money request via paypal. Its real easy and clean. After you get that money request head on over to the computer ok, and make up a shipping lable and invoice and have the product out the door within 24-48 hours except weekends and holidays. Its easy. Hell its so easy my coworker Neal had his young son in here last week on a half school day or whatever it was and that kid was a shipping wizard here. This kid is 8-10 years old, and he can do it, why can't you?
Do the right thing.
Mark a suggestion too. Send this over link and any others regarding TZ's practice to Paypal as part of your dispute.

nah Mark you know what friend. You wanted to believe he would do the right thing. I know you. I know what a decent person you are. You are the kind of person that like you said he never shaited on you so you wanted to believe he would do the right thing.
You had faith and you know what and its silly but if more people acted and did things in the manner on faith and a handshake it would be awesome. At least there are more members on here like yourself and most everyone here knows that.
Trying to inject humor here but all I can think about is The Simpsons Movie right about now and everyone at outside Homer's house wanting to burn it up LOL. Looking at the title of the Good The Bad and The Ugly Thread just seals it and remembering Junior commenting on it awhile back about people being at your door with tourches and pitch forks.
Mark be assured if TZ has these parts I will personally pay for the shipping to you.

The $$ I paid him include the shipping..But hey I got a $100 break from what price he was asking...So LUCKY for me, I still have that $100 to fill up my gas tank..Oh wait, prices are going so high on gas, I might not be able to do that!

If the members here are loosing their trust that we as vendors will do right by them they are not going to buy from us. I don't know about the other vendors but Lori and I greatly depend on you guys. If it wasn't for you we would be nothing. Situations like this cause people to stop and think twice about buying from the vendors here. It hurts us all. Lori and I have worked really hard to earn your trust. Its not always easy and we are only human, but we try to do our best with each sale we make. I hope that things will turn around soon here.

Heidi you rock!!!! For those of you who do not know, Oak Park is a burb on the north west side of Detroit. Tommy's shop is in my hometown of Sterling Heights (which shames me ) on the north east side of Detroit. This is not how true Detroiter's roll. We are hardworking, honest people. Real Detroiters are not like the ex mayor of the city, and they are not like Tommy!
Anyone in Detroit, Tommy's shop is (was in March) at mound rd and 18 mile. Maybe someone could stop by and ask him what's up.....
Gawd damn-it Tommy you F!!!. Mark, I am truely sorry bud. I have had several conversations with him over the last few weeks about these issues. I've been hoping and proding him for the best, but he's not coming through. Man, I don't know what to say bud. If I can do anything for you, I will.

Sorry to hear homie that you got Tommied!! I agree with you that he should be banned from this site as this is repeating itself too many times with him and a few other vendors out there.
Heidi and the gang at BT are top notch and I am glad I continue to buy their product and support them.
I would have probably done the same thing as you would have done and given him the benefit of the doubt and sent money expecting to get the producy he said he had.
Good luck to you- and to the vendors out there that take care of us in the forums!!

This is a great point. I liken it to shopping at a mall. Some of the stores are ok, some are so so and some are fantastic. If some of the stores in that mall start failing you, then you begin to dislike the whole mall and go down to the new mega mall next to James Coney Hot Dogs. You know the one. Our vendor force is a shopping mall in space. And there are a few vendors that are dropping the ball. There is no law that says they HAVE to be great salesman, builders, suppliers or installers. But when they fail the consumer, all of the vendors will suffer eventually. A newcomer to this forum may look at the vendor isle as a walk through a mine field. Avoid it and drive down to Auto Zone, eeeeeks.

A guy down the street here sold fake war swords on the net and was turned into the AG. He is now serving 3 years because others complained as well.It's a new word with internet sales. So damn many scammers and the Government loves those big fines they can add to the cougher.

In my opinion Tommy basically has pyramid scheme in which he uses new peoples money to fulfill orders from 6-9 monthes ago. Things are starting to come to head as people want there charger hoods. Let's think about this....is supporters claim how busy he is with so much work? why would he go and sign up as a supporting vendor on chargerZ forum other then to get people to make him a 0% loan by getting people to place orders. He shouldn't need new orders if he has a 6 -9 month backlog of orders.
I guarrantee that if the charger hood buyers requested a refund they will not get it because he dosen't have it in my opinion!!! Tommy is dreamer with beer money and champange taste(I question if he even has beer money).
Tommy claims he's not a thief, but in my opinion what I have seen and heard he a thief. But as usually Tommy will come on Monday night or Tuesday after his long customer financed weekend and say a few words about how if is trying and he will skate another week.:doh:

Ernie, if this doesn't get the attention of the Moderators I don't know what will. You are well within reason to wonder how this will affect your Vendor status on the Forums ... one bad apple syndrome ... No I haven't lost any money, but that doesn't preclude my ability to comment on the MANY threads that are now running rampant regarding the TommyZ matter ... that's because this IS a community and we are OBLIGATED to look out for each other ...
402 Motoring has gotten a well-deserved GOOD rating here already but your point is still valid ... a newbie comes here looking for help and a decent price on a mod and sees this constant madness going on ... it must stop ... it's a black eye on the whole community now ...

Oh and a quick note to the n00bs ... if you want to know who's telling it like it is here, we decided a while back that "post counts" didn't mean squat here ... but just glance up at the upper right hand corner of the last few posters and look at the Date that we joined to get an idea of how much we have experienced and park your mouse over all those Green Beans for a second to see the legend "Bow to this person" ... we didn't get that status by sitting around letting our fellow members get screwed ...
We've seen them come and we've seen them go ... my advice to anyone considering placing an order with TommyZ Designs right now is to find another mod and find a better vendor ...
Just my opinion ... nuff said ...

Heidi you rock!!!! For those of you who do not know, Oak Park is a burb on the north west side of Detroit. Tommy's shop is in my hometown of Sterling Heights (which shames me ) on the north east side of Detroit. This is not how true Detroiter's roll. We are hardworking, honest people. Real Detroiters are not like the ex mayor of the city, and they are not like Tommy!
Anyone in Detroit, Tommy's shop is (was in March) at mound rd and 18 mile. Maybe someone could stop by and ask him what's up.....
Im goin' to throw a bone in here for a second because I love my city to death and dont want it miscontrude on acts of some...the shop is not in Detroit and I havent met not one person on this forum that actually stayed in the city of Detroit, not the West Side East Side or downtown, so I say F the Mayor who isnt from the D and Oak Park and every other suburb or resident that claims Detroit that havent been thru what the city has went thru

Let me first say I am sorry if I upset you.
Let me clarify that I am not shamed by my hometown! I love both Detroit and Sterling Heights!!!! I am shamed that someone who treat customers this way is conducting business in my hometown....

The problems of Detroit don't start and end at 8 Mile. They are the problems of SE Michigan as a whole.
My dad grew up in the city, and yes I grew up in the burbs, but I don't tell people I am from Sterling Heights, I tell people I am from Detroit with pride.
The city has been through a lot. I love Detroit too, and want to see it turn around. My family and my life long friends are still in Michigan.....

In my opinion Tommy basically has pyramid scheme in which he uses new peoples money to fulfill orders from 6-9 monthes ago. Things are starting to come to head as people want there charger hoods. Let's think about this....is supporters claim how busy he is with so much work? why would he go and sign up as a supporting vendor on chargerZ forum other then to get people to make him a 0% loan by getting people to place orders. He shouldn't need new orders if he has a 6 -9 month backlog of orders.
I guarrantee that if the charger hood buyers requested a refund they will not get it because he dosen't have it in my opinion!!! Tommy is dreamer with beer money and champange taste(I question if he even has beer money).
Tommy claims he's not a thief, but in my opinion what I have seen and heard he a thief. But as usually Tommy will come on Monday night or Tuesday after his long customer financed weekend and say a few words about how if is trying and he will skate another week.:doh:
I could not agree more with this statement. I have had other thoughts too, about just where the money is going but well, Tommy has accused me of "slandering" him in private, so I will as Mr. I., said hold my tounge.
TZ everyone has money problems especially in today's climate. The train has come to the station. Its time to get off and leave.

I have to say the Heidi and Dan are nothing but a Class Act. What is happening here is really starting to worry me. LX Forums is a tight knit community. If the members here are loosing their trust that we as vendors will do right by them they are not going to buy from us. I don't know about the other vendors but Lori and I greatly depend on you guys. If it wasn't for you we would be nothing. Situations like this cause people to stop and think twice about buying from the vendors here. It hurts us all. Lori and I have worked really hard to earn your trust. Its not always easy and we are only human, but we try to do our best with each sale we make. I hope that things will turn around soon here.
Worries me too Ernie. You and I are in complete agreement. Randy (Stroguy) hit it on the head too. I too posted about this in my what is it 2 week ago thesis paper on TZ.... his behavior can and will effect the good businesses here.
Ernie you and Lori run a tight ship. Don't beat yourselves up either. You guys do fantastic and are honest. What real American small business was founded on; hard work, handshakes and and respecting the customer. Principles TZ knows nothing about.

The above, well, it says it all.
My family is from Detriot. My dad grew up in the city too as a young boy on the streets of Detriot living in his car. He made something of his life in the city with hard work and honest business ethics. I too had all my famiily in the Detriot Metro area until my Aunt Rose passed at 58 and my cousin just before her at 37, both to cancer.
TZ, man up and do the right thing. Give Mark his money back now, or email or call me at the office on Monday (561-582-6171) and I will get you any freight info you need to get Mark his parts.
And for the record. My Aunt Rose in the last few years of her life yep, made it to a better place to live in the Metro area, from down town, because she worked hard, overcame hardships as a single mom working 2 and 3 jobs, and trying to do the right thing every day.

Here we go again. Anyway you slice and dice it, Tommy Z is a thief. Plain and simple. There is no reasonable way anyone can truly defend him and to think he will actually step up and change is gullible thinking. He will from time to time come through on a order to make it look like he cares. Just enough to suck a few more in for the next round. We all want to see the good in people and hope they come around. Problem is most don't.
Now I'm not casting stones but with all the threads about Tommy Z taking money and not delivering, I'm not seeing any comment from the powers to be. Now I know they need to keep a lot of info to themselves but there hasn't been anything from them.

Mark call the attorney general where TZ runs his biz and report this as an Internet scam. Use the info posted on the forum as other examples. Internet fraud carries stiff penalties similar to mail fraud. The AG will investigate it.
Don't bother with that. The AG's office does not do these investigations in MI. A different state agency does them (or doesn't, as it were). Said agencies computer crimes unit consistes of two (yes 2) guys. Those guys take their job seriously but the ones holding the purse strings don't.
You would have better luck with the FBI.

Tommy..Just send the rockers man..You knew this thread was coming if you did not deliver..And tomorrow Paypal will freeze your account since I will be able to escalate it to an investigation on the 14th. I was not going to be strung along for WHATEVER reason you have. I do not care..My money cared enough to find it to you, so all you had to do was ship out the rockers....I have PM's from a long time ago stating you had these already boxed and ready to ship. A 5 year old can understand where I am coming from even!
Send them out Monday, and this thread is done, and will accomplished what I wanted it to, which was for me to get my rockers!
Oh and BTW for those of you wondering..I am one of the NICEST and POSITIVE guys you will ever meet..And no I did NOT wake up on the wrong side of the bed one morning. It is what it is! **And I am currently single and looking for those of you whom might have a female hookup! LOL

Dear Tommy,
Perhaps you do have some strife occurring in your life as many people do from time to time. It does not feel good does it? By jacking these people you are forcing your problems onto them. If it is true that you would "give the shirt off your back" you would not be causing so much turmoil in the lives of others.
Put the brakes on everything but fulfilling your commitments to these people. Sit down tonight with your open orders and create a firm delivery schedule rather going out. Then communicate this schedule with every customer and for once meet your damn commitment.Exercise some discipline. I think you will see how forgiving people can be.
Do not make your problems the problems of your customers. Respect your customers and their hard earned money. Your customers are the most important asset in your business. Silly to piss all over customers.
And don't blame this thread or the people participating in it for your problems. You can see the source of your problems by looking in the mirror.
Oh everyone should also know this behavior is cmmonly known as "user" and anyone aware of this situation that submits an order is called an "enabler". You are enabling someone to use you!!!

People have a right to express their views and that is why this forum exists. All of the people in here writing in this thread are not messing it up for you and the others, It is Tommy who is doing that. He needs to be honest, care about his customers, communicate fully with them on price, delivery, etc. and a lot of people want him to be forhtcoming in these threads and respond openly for all to see and not go on about how whiteboys stole his design.
Take some responsibility for your actions and/or mistakes and own up to them and start making it right. People are pretty forgiving if you are just honest with them. It is not asking too much.
Tommy posted on the Challenger Hood thread (where such accusations were being made) and IGNORED those posts, instead focused on raggin on White Boy for "stealing his design" of the hood.
I'm sure this has been addressed, but with all due respect did Tommy design the hood, or did Chrysler design it? He may have been the first to come up with the replica, but that does not give him the legal right to it....

Okay so to recap:
1. I posted this thread
2. Tommy finally gets a call that that another thread is alive and kicking
3. Tommy makes his post to "make it right". Says to email him.
4. I have sent the requested email and posted here that for sure send the rockers.
5. Had no luck as usual sending a PM since they are most of the time full when you really need to talk with him.
So I now sit and wait to see what becomes of this. Tomorrow I am escalating the Paypal dispute to a claim. He did not respond to the dispute at all, even though he gets sent an email from Paypal.
I want to thank everyone for their support on this..Many PM'd their support even. That shows that we are for sure one BIG family here!!!!!!!!!!
Transaction Amount: --
Your Transaction ID: --

You can escalate this dispute to a PayPal claim anytime after 9/14/2008. By
escalating this dispute, you'd be asking PayPal to review the case and
decide the outcome.On Oct 1, 2008, this dispute will automatically close
unless you escalate it to a PayPal claim. By escalating to a claim, you are
asking PayPal to review the case and decide the outcome.
We will remind you by email when the deadline is approaches. A closed

Man i went thru the same **** with hpautoworks.com
Hate that damn site he wouldnt even call me with no type of update all he would say was my LT headers were coming on friday. when that friday came he did it again on the next friday. He stop answering my phone call i swear it felt like he had caller id because he never answered when i called. I got my homegirl from another state to call on three way and he answered lol. On the first call. lol he said he'd refund my money and 3 weeks went by i filed claim then escalated.
Hell TZ , Hpautoworks need 2 understand. You pay for good service. If you cant trust someone to tell you the truth when a situations not good why would you want to do business with them anyway? put profit in a pocket of someone who would lie to u? The Number 1 rule anywhere You go out ur way to meet the customer needs. His priorities are wrong.
I msg'd TZ once and he was quick for me to buy that hood but he claim he would send me pictures of the hood. i asked multiple times and he never really mentioned the pics he'd just ask me was i interested. He Maybe the coolest person alive, And he may be the go to guy of circle of friends. But his Business skills are ****ty.
but honestly if that many people have an issue with him. Bitching at him does nothing. but frustrate you and him. and over the internet problems solve nothing. just escalate the claim get your money back and spread the reputation. A blow too the wallet is a much harsher blow than a blow to the face. I bet You see change then.

Maybe we mere members should all just apply for vendor status, then we'd be on an equal playing field since vendors aren't allowed to mess with each other. I personally wouldn't plan to sell anything, but the status might help with not getting ripped off. :wink:

Understand your position but let me ask you this. Would you rather see nothing like this thread posted for any vendor regardless of what transpires. Basically keep everything under the covers? What if you were a new guy here and saw nothing what-so-ever being said about any vendor. You'd expect to have a pleasant transaction wouldn't you? Then when you get the shaft you'd probably wish there was a way for you to have known not to do business with said vendor?
If a vendor can't keep their respective acts together and conduct business in an ethical manner then they have no right to take people's money and try to pawn wares. IMO everyone needs to be aware of this sort of behavior so they don't waste their paycheck especially if someone is living check-to-check and can't accumilate disposable income for quite a while.

LOL. You just keep trying to milk the cow don't you. You finally come on and offer up your same old wilted olive branch. How many times have you said this very same thing and never produced. Everything in your post is the exact opposite of what actually takes place. Who cares if you see this thread. You shouldn't have to and it's your fault anyway. You let it get to this along with Brads grill and a host of others. Your not just a bad business man (oh feel sorry and take pity on me) your a criminal and con man. You know darn well what your doing. By the way, have you paid Chrysler for using their challenger hood design? I bet not. Maybe they need your phone number.

Understand your position but let me ask you this. Would you rather see nothing like this thread posted for any vendor regardless of what transpires. Basically keep everything under the covers? What if you were a new guy here and saw nothing what-so-ever being said about any vendor. You'd expect to have a pleasant transaction wouldn't you? Then when you get the shaft you'd probably wish there was a way for you to have known not to do business with said vendor?
If a vendor can't keep their respective acts together and conduct business in an ethical manner then they have no right to take people's money and try to pawn wares. IMO everyone needs to be aware of this sort of behavior so they don't waste their paycheck especially if someone is living check-to-check and can't accumilate disposable income for quite a while.

Wow...This is crazy.
And to think I was going to give him $3900 for some custom wheels just 2-3 weeks ago. I had the credit card ready and called a couple times but I could never get through.
I took that as a sign not to do business with him. Glad I didnt.
I hope it works out for you man.
Members definitely need to know whats going on. Stress is something we need to avoid as much as possible.

I have to say the Heidi and Dan are nothing but a Class Act. What is happening here is really starting to worry me. LX Forums is a tight knit community. If the members here are loosing their trust that we as vendors will do right by them they are not going to buy from us. I don't know about the other vendors but Lori and I greatly depend on you guys. If it wasn't for you we would be nothing. Situations like this cause people to stop and think twice about buying from the vendors here. It hurts us all. Lori and I have worked really hard to earn your trust. Its not always easy and we are only human, but we try to do our best with each sale we make. I hope that things will turn around soon here.

Sure do..I want these because it squares off the sides of the car, but yet I should be able to still lay out the car on AirRide since this kit only extends maybe 3/4" off the body line if that, from what Tommy said. Next was going to be the rear canards, or that rear piece in the pic below.
Tommy send them sides out Monday man!!!!!!!!!

Might be too expensive but how about Startech? Still, I hope the ones you already paid for will somehow be delivered to you sooner than later.

Hey man I am somewhat of a newbi but just reading these posts sounds like the big cheese needs to do a little something. I saw one post from the director and I believe it was just a fluff off . Personally I would at least send tz a formal letter stating if he does not start owning up to lx standards he will be removed. Its the right thing to do.We have to follow the rules or we are removed I understand so improper advertising on the vendor forum should be not allowed as well. If it were you , you would be as angry.He is not asking you to get his money back or argue for him , he just wants it so no one else gets stung either. Do the smart thing and deepsix his vendor status .

Well said and I agree 100%. Why they are allowing him to continue as a vendor is beyond me.

As long as people are totally ignoring the spirit of this GBU forum and the topic of the thread, read this (http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=130609). and remember its just one post in a much larger discussion that has already covered this subject extensively.
So if you are baffled. Try looking around. And quit poisoning lowriderman3's thread. If you do not understand what this GBU forum is for, read its rules. There are other places for WAG's and general commentary.

Wow, like I stated earlier, I'm not casting stones. I just asked a simple question and was looking for a simple answer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Mark keep us posted.
If Tommy is correct then he is boxed up and ready to go today. A good tracking number should be ready to you within 24 hours.
TZ, again, if you can't ship these and have them, drop me an email at heidivpi@fdn.com and I will forward you any one of a number of accounts to get this to Mark. He has a show coming up soon and this kit will set off his ride more.
Agree with Frank; balls in TZ's court and the next serveral days will be interesting indeed.

Lowriderman3, I apologize for poisoning your thread.
I wasn't just talking to your post, so if you got that impression it wasn't intended that way at all. But really, this forum is not here to discuss policy. It is for the member to tell their story, for the vendor to respond and hopefully for the two to work it out.
I'll shut up now cuz I am doing it too with this post.

Well for an update..I sent the rockers back to Tommy since they just would not work with my AirRide when laid out...Waiting on a refund of my $$ since Thursday which he emailed and said he would.
Send my $$ back Tommy. Does not take but a few seconds to do it since I paid with Paypal. Click on the "refund" button, and bam bam bam! And please don't forget the shipping difference I brought up. I know you will minus the shipping charges, but only the ACTUAL shipping charges. Thanks!
