Hello WIl,
I have some bad news for you. My shipment from B&M never showed up for those shifters. I have called several times to find out when I will get more of those shifters but I have been given the bad news that due to lack of interest in that product, B&M will no longer be making them unless I would like to purchase 100 at a time which to be honest with you is not worth it because its not a great seller anymore.
I can do one of two things.
1 – refund the full money right now
2 – give me another week to see if I can locate the same shifter through another vendor who might have it in stock.
Please let me know which you would like me to do.
Thanks.
So for anyone who is going to buy one from him, This is the deal.

I agree, you kinda slandered Karo's name for a minute, not his fault its B&Ms fault.....
I was gonna swing in a Praise him for some shiny pistons he provided me with, for thr BEST PRICE AROUND
KARO FTW
PROUD MEMBER OF JBOK.
Karo definitely did me right on the shifter and motor mounts I ordered a few years back.
From all the positive feedback i have had about Karo, i am not really having good business with him.
I know you all have your stories and everything, and i do indeed think Karo does well, and is really a customer service oriented retailer,
BUT.. i just recently (2 weeks ago) ordered eibach springs and control arm bushings from him, and my payment isn't even processed yet.
Has it normally taken you guys two weeks to get the money deducted from your account?
But what catches me on how good of a guy he is, he recently BOUGHT me a new shifter for $130.00 (4 dollars more), and sent it out for me, haven't received it yet but UPS says it's on it's way. This is why i am more curious, NOT mad, as to why it is taking so long for my order to pass even the initial stage of shipment.

Wow..where do I start. Since when do people complain about money not being taken fast enough? How is that something to complain about?
I mean seriously... Karo doesn't charge your card or take payment until the item ships out. I ordered pistons from him. Took almost a month and a half for Wiseco to make them. He didn't charge me a penny until they shipped out. Hell, I could have f'ed him over and decided not to take them.
If you said that it is already shipped via UPS, what does Karo have to do with that? Do you think he personally delivers it to your door? Just wait for UPS to deliver. Delivery times aren't his fault...
I try to understand why you post something like this, so I look into your profile and read your recent posts. This is what I find:
"Venom 400 racing chip module" as one of your mods
"LED placement on center console for Venom Chip" as an interior mod

I revved it up really high again, just to check to see if it was still sticking, and now it idles at 1500RPM, which is def not right. I lubed it and everything, and it is still sticking..
Well, I guess all of that pretty much explained it for me. Now I know who we are dealing with here.
Anyway, back on subject. This thread should just be locked. The title sounds as if Karo is a bad guy to deal with which is not cool. He's the best person on the .org. Let's set the record straight and make sure anyone reading this knows how excellent of a guy he really is. THE END.
