GoMiata.com Trust worthy?

Postby tsol0811 » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:49 am

Hey guys just wanted to know if anyone has dealt with GoMiata an American miata online store?

I want to get a Touge Run G style Polyurethane lip from them but i just don't feel safe enough to press proceed payment.
Just wanted to get some reviews on the site from people from Australia before i go ahead.
Found out shipping is $80 USD to Australia which isnt too bad....

Link to the Item i am after:
http://www.gomiata.com/mamitogpofrl.html

If anyone can help me out it would be fantastic!

Tony.

First experience good.

Second and LAST experience bad.

It seems if stock is readily available that you're ok, if not, it's impossible to get any feedback and you simply have to wait until it shows up.

.. just make sure you get in touch with them to get the exact shipping charges (website quotes may not be accurate) and expect a decent lead time for the items to get to you. They're mainly intermediaries to a lot of aftermarket suppliers/companies.

I've used them once and was happy although the communication about when it was shipped was poor. By far the cheapest price I could get though so I'm happy.

thanks guys for words, i read lots of reviews and it seems like they have very poor service and communication..
I am after the Touge Run Polyurethane Lip since my Garage Vary one has broken into pieces....
I would go a different company but seems like this is the only company which offers international delivery..

I guess i would have to do some more research and if i do go ahead "Hope for the best" *fingers crossed*

Maybe just order but be patient (don't expect it to turn up tomorrow).

Worked out in the end but communication is not one of their strong points, threatening a chargeback on the credit card certainly got a reation! :twisted:

ordered +$1,000 dollars worth of items from them a few months ago. shipping took over a month, they also emailed asking for more money as apparently the shipping costs I paid didn't cover all costs. In the end did receive my items as described. Emails usually took 1-2 days to reply to.
