pezzler Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Does anyone know what the score is with Envy?? I ordered a few bit from them on the 4th; AEM B/C, Walbro fuel pump, HKS FCD. Since ordering I have sent them emails, text messages, left voicemails, sent a PM to Gaz, but cannot get hold of anyone. I dont know what the status of my order of, whether I will be waiting for a another week or a month. At the same time I ordered a few bits from MVP; these were ordered on the 4th, and I recieved them on 9th. I also recieved correspondence from them all the way, and was able to contact Dusty (who is the most helpful guy in the world) via email. I expected these to take at least two weeks, seeing as they were coming from Texas Are Envy still operating, has anyone ordered/received any parts from them recently? I wish I had have ordered the lot from MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I heard envy went bust, just recently it seemed they was getting rid of all their stock on ebay for pretty cheap prices. MVP seem to have a great rep for supra parts and are very helpful, i used to buy from evny becuase they were uk based, good prices and friendly service to:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezzler Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I heard envy went bust, just recently it seemed they was getting rid of all their stock on ebay for pretty cheap prices. Oh great! Stuck in a situation now. I cant get hold of Envy so I dont know if any progress has been, or will be made I may well just order the parts from MVP, but i'll have to have a good read of Envy's return policy just incase the parts do arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I hope you havnt paid for the parts. They have my card details, but no money has been taken...yet Would it be worthwhile barring any money from being taken by them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just bought my new lip from MVP, shipped the next day, Dusty is top to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Cannot bar any payments that may be taken from Envy, and I cant find out id their still in business or not - pretty pissed off at the minute Im guessing if I cant get in touch with anyone, that there is noone there! I'm not up for waiting for forever and a day; think I'll get the bits off from Dusty, and claim my money back from Envy if the parts do arrive. If they are still in business, their customer service is f**king shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Envy went bust and a lot of people got burnt. Another firm took the name in a slightly different mannor, but didn't honour any outstanding commitements with the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 If a card of mine wouldn't bar payments, I'd be cancelling it outright there & then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=33937 Posted March 17th: As of today Envy Performance and Styling Ltd will no longer have a branch in Newcastle. Gaz is becoming a sole trader and will work for himself out of his own premises. Any orders placed through z-store.co.uk prior to today will be fulfilled by Me, Envy Performance & Styling Ltd. Gaz will now be in sole charge of the z-store and envyperformance websites and therefore any orders placed through those websites as of today 17th March 2010 will be fulfilled by Gareth Walker t/a Envy Performance. If you have orders place with me which are yet to be dispatched or are part of any group buys currently running this will not effect you at all. Please feel free to pm or call me if you have any queries. Thank you And then... Envy Performance & Styling Ltd (Me and Tony) Trading from Chobham as normal using word of mouth and referrals. Gaz Walker t/a Envy Performance trading from Newcastle using both websites. So which Envy did you order from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I don't know what the state of play is with Gaz, I know he had some time off due to a bereavement, but he just doesn't seem interested in the business any more. Whether or not he's giving up on it I don't know, but he seems to be jetting around playing poker tournaments at the moment. I've contacted him a couple of times in the past year or so to get prices for things that I needed to order and he's said he'll get back to me, but then I never hear from him again. So my orders have gone elsewhere. I've met Gaz a few times over the years and we've always got on well, but for his sake I think he either needs to buck his ideas up or formally close the business.

DodgyRog Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Envy-Performance on eBay, seems to have stopped trading (No Items for sale) When I was bidding on the wheels they had for sale, I had my suspisions they were bumping up the price themselves. I didn't win the auction, but messaged them, saying if for any reason the sale fell through or they had another set, I would have them for the end auction price. I left it for a few weeks with no reply and they still had not had any feedback for the auction, so I messaged them again, asking if they had sold them as I had not seen any feedback and that I would be interested in them, if they were available. I left it for another week or so and decided to give them a call, as I had had no response. The phone call went along the lines of they were having a problem with the buyer PayPal transaction, but they had another set of the alloys and they could let me have them for £1200. The eBay auction ended on 28th April at £530 and I have just looked and they still have not received any feedback for the original auction, so make of that what you will. So in conclusion, I won't be buying anything from them and I wouldn't advise anyone else to either Edited June 14, 2010 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezzler Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=33937 So which Envy did you order from? I guess I have ordered from Gaz then, seeing as I ordered from the Envy website All I can do really is wait patiently, and keep an eye on my bank account; dont really like being kept in the dark, especially when its my own money in question.... I have exhausted every contact available for Envy, no joy Watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimojameso Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I used to order things from Envy in the good old days but now i wouldn't. I'd order from Dusty matey and keep an eye on your bill to make sure Envy don't charge you for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Back in start of February '09 I ordered a set of wheels from Gaz, got plenty of stories back from him why I didn't receive them such as my credit card wasn't set up for international transactions despite having used it plenty of times on holidays in the u.s etc and having paid knight racer on here through the same card. He told me his courier didn't use a tracking number, then when I asked which courier he didn't know, a member of staff sent them out with a "local crowd" rang plenty of couriers myself in Northumerland region and got no satisfaction obviously as they hadn't been sent out. In fact they hadn't even paid for by Gaz until very late March as unfortunately for him I was sent the business invoice by his suppliers for my wheels. Oops for Gaz, he was caught out big time , he'd absolutely lied through his teeth to me. Seemed like a nice bloke but I don't have any sympathy for the place especially with what came to light once they went bust and it was revealed on here the first time. There's a similar thread on the gtroc only a couple of months ago. Members all over the forums I think now know the story with Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
