I ordered a gas tank for my car from this company on Sept 3rd. They took my money from my account on the 4th. The website said products were shipped within 24-48 hrs. I contaced the company 3 days later to ask for a shipping number and never recieved a response. After 2 more emails, I called the company and was told that they had to order the tank, and it would be in on the 12th. After not hearing from them, I contacted them on the 16th to see about getting a tracking number again. I was told the package was in the shipping dept and was leaving that afternoon. I never recieved a package, and contacted them again on the 23rd. I was told that someone from shipping would call me. After 3 more days, I recieved no call, and contacted them again on the 26th. I was told that Fedex lost my package and would I like a refund. As it had almost been a month, I told them yes, I would like my money back. I checked my bank account this morning, the 30th, and still no refund, so I once again contacted them. The first email went unanswered, so I sent another one, mentioning that I was taking all of my paperwork and emails from them to my local JAG office. I was told that my email was being fowarded to someone in the refund dept and I would get my money. That was at 1300 their time, 1600 my time. So I knew it would at least take a few hours to hear back from the so called refund dept. At 1700 their time, 2000 mine, I get an email from Fedex, saying that a package had been sent via this company, to my address. I was outraged. I have been lied to for a month. They NEVER sent the package off to me to begin with, that was all a lie. I was lied to saying that I would get my refund. Basically, someone there screwed up, and instead of telling me about it, they lied and tried to put me off. I would have been able to deal with the truth better. Now, after spending a weekend fixing my car the best way I could, I have a freaking gas tank on the way that would have helped me had I recieved it almost a month ago, when I ordered it. My main complaint here is that if it was out of stock, I should have recived an email after I ordered saying that it was out of stock, and asking me if I would want to wait for them to get it in. That way I could have been given the choice to wait, or try to get it somewhere else. As it was, I was without my car for almost a month. These people are scam artist, and liars, and do not deserve the business of hard working people. I will also be contacting Fedex to let them know that this company is basically blaming their screw ups on them. Also, all emails I have with this company have been kept and printed out in case I need to prove what I am saying.

Do not order from BFYObsolete! Darren Dudley cannot tell the truth. I placed the order, he said I will get it in about 3 days and receive an email with confirmation and tracking number from United States Postal Service. No email for 4 days. I called 4 days after ordering and he said all items have been shipped and will email the info that day. No email. Next day he said that a part was holding up the order. But he also said it's a bunch of separate orders. Then he said someone messed up and he thought they shipped it but they did not and that it will all be shipped out that day. It goes on and on from there. More shipment lies, one after another. Waiting for a refund, I cancelled all items, after he hung up on me when I was complaining and asking for answers. 4 times he hung up on me mid conversation, because I was not taking his untruthful answers any longer. And I honestly feel he lied that he refunded my card while on the phone and has no intention of refunding me. I feel that Mr. Dudley has only been dishonest and frankly, quite rude. I have been in tears and physically ill after the last few phone calls dealing with him because he will give no straight or truthful answer and I knew I had been stolen from. In my opinion every single phone conversation was a lie from the time of order.

Same problems. No refund. I've filed with the BBB and the Anaheim Police Economic Crimes Department. I would encourage EVERYONE who is missing as little as a bolt from their order to file on these scam artists! Also, check out the samba report on them to learn more about these lowlife thieves!

i completely agree with those on this page. i gave them a $3, 000 order of parts 3 weeks ago and have been lied to about any kind delivery, AND I AM NOT SHIPPING ! i am local and will pick up my parts. WTF is going on with this company who lie to their customers about the status of their orders. i am not taking this lying down. i will take this company to court for all their lies and misrepresentations. anyone who would like to join me in a class action suit against this ridiculous company can contact me at michaelpentz@yahoo.com.

I also got the run around from BFY, after ordering parts in AUG 2008 they sent me a partial order and told me that the rest would be sent in a few days. That order never showed up. I also ordered some running boards that never came. Its now March 2009 no parts even after many e-mails and calls . I'm out $250.00 Obsolete is a good name for the company. If you need any vw parts go to jbugs.com great service and fast shipping.
