If anyone buys anything from this individual, be prepared to get ripped off or wait forever for the part. I purchased several items from him last September and I am steel waiting on one of the items. I have contacted him several times and he says he is a man of his word, and that he will send the part. I think 8 months is long enough to Wait!

What is the nature of the hold-up? Is he making something for you?

I also had a very bad dealing with Jeff. Incredible wait time (almost 3 months to get a small box - according to the shipping documents, it was shipped a full 6 weeks after I pad!), shipping overcharge (label says 8$ - he charged me 75$!!), parts described as usable with just a clean up, but they are dented and permanently stained, thus absolutely unusable parts, etc...

After I proved to him (with pics and all) that the parts were not as described, he agreed with me and promised to settle this... I've had lots of promises and a bunch of "I'll get back to you soon" emails, but as of today, I'm still waiting for any sort of solution, more than 8 months after I paid for the parts.

I didn't post about it here before, waiting for a settlement or at least a partial solution, but seeing that other members got ripped off too, I think I've waited enough..

Add my voice to say avoid this guy.

Jeff, Glad to see you chime in here. I sent you another email on the 25th about those two brackets that I bought but never got shipped. I would rather handle our business in a direct manner, but when you don't reply to my emails, I have no choice but to post it here. You have been fair to deal with, I'll give you that, but the waiting is too much. Please advise. -Ron

david ...if you feel theres an issue on shipping please contact me via email and i will work with you on that... jeff


Jeff,

I did write you an email about this issue last September.

I'll quote your email reply of sept. 26th: "the person i was using for shipping at that time let me down on your package and several others for packaging and shipping according to my records i paid the shipper the 75 i had quoted you i now do my own shipping".

Could you offer a better response if I wrote you again now?

david ...as far as the aluminum inserts i let you know that i could not get into a place that had another set to replace yours that were damaged until late april early may ...jeff


You didn't mention any precise moment like that, last November you said "around spring", which is right about now... but that was after you had promised to find replacements before Hershey, then after Hershey and before winter...

jeff


I'm glad you're wanting to deal with this, Jeff.

Then please send ME an email with a solution proposal, or else, I fear we'll just start the whole email exchange process again and I don't feel like that at all.

I'd at least settle for a partial refund as I paid 275$ for these parts and still got nothing useable.

I have had several dealings with Jeff Nichols, and I can only say that everything was good. A couple times I thought the shipping was slow, but it was usually held up at customs coming across the border. I would certainly deal with him again.

I got your email, Jeff, and responded right away.

Too bad it had to take a little forum pressure, which I had tried to avoid, but I can say now that Jeff stepped up and offered a real solution.

I'm glad this will finally be resolved fairly, in the end.

To my knowledge, and I've sent DOZENS of people to him, none has ever experienced any issue working with Jeff. I could be wrong, but no one has ever gotten back to me with a complaint.

I know Jeff personally, have been to his place 3 or 4 times. He is overextended, a bit disorganized, with a baby and much family/work stuff going on, a bit slow to respond sometimes, but he's a man of his word, an honorable guy, and will make it right, and as much a Mopar enthusiast and hard core Forwardlook hobbiest as you will ever meet! He's good for it, guaranteed. And you should see his 59 DeSoto collection!

Jeff is awesome! He's a great guy to talk to and is extremely interested in FL cars. I pre-arranged a parts pickup at the Hershey show and all went well. Thanks Jeff for supporting the hobby.

Well I didn't want to have to resort to posting here, but since others have paved the way, here goes.

Jeff, I have been patiently waitiing for over a month and a half for you to make our transaction work. I'm tired of waiting and also, the 4 horns you sold me are no good. I've found the brackets I needed somewhere else and I'm done waiting for the harness. If you'll refund me the $75 for the horns and $25 for the harness, all will be good. Once that's done if you want the horns back I'll be more than happy to send them your way. Paypal works for me for the refund. You have my email address.

Sorry it had to come to this but promises and excuses no longer work.

I spent over 3 grand with Jeff and received the ultra rare Pass Side L-350 Exhaust Manifold and he explained the manifold perfectly, delivered it to "Bloodhound", was very reasonable in negotiations and man of his word. I am sorry to hear opposite and hopefully you guys will work through the problems. Good Luck.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Jeff and I have resolved our differences. He has more than made things right by sending additional scrip that I did not originally order from him.

Jeff is a man of his word, and can deliver what most of us can not find anywhere! He had some great stuff at Carlisle too. I got the chance to meet his better half and his beautiful little girl too. We had a blast, thanks again buddy! You're the man!

Jeff came through for me last fall with a left vent wing frame for 57 Fury and a right side seat hinge cover which shattered upon installation. Jeff found another cover and sent it to me. The Fury's owner was ecstatic after I hand the frame chromed and installed.
Jeff, I hope to meet you at Carlisle in July!

A few months back I bought a Torqueflite push button assembly for my '59 Dodge via Jeff's ebay listing.

Jeff shipped it to Australia quickly and I was very happy with it's condition.

No problems this end from my purchase from Jeff.

Wayne, good on ya for having the balls to come back and make good your first post on this thread. Probably a lesson in there for all of us?

Looks like Jeff gets the nod on here, and rightly so considering the availability of FL parts.

Didn't someone start a thread on THE rare parts? Who has a power aerial chrome bezel nut?

I have been dealing with Jeff for the past three years and in that time I have found him to be open, friendly and knowledgable on the parts I was chasing. He has found me several rare bits in excellent condition and charged me fairly. The parts have been shipped promptly and received in good order all the way down here in Australia. Keep up the good work Mate!!!!!!!

Hi Jeff,

Do not seem to be getting anywhere here, never get reply with parts from you, you just go quiet on messages from me, August 2012 since i paid you for parts and still waiting for rest of money returned, can you sort out the remainder of the money which comes to $850,all the Paypal charges and shipping costs of container etc i will have to stomach, you have my Paypal address etc, so no excuses,

did not want to post on here, but this seems like the only way you ever get back to me?

thanks Paul.

Well looks like i am not going to get a reply from Mr Nichols, and judging by the amount of replies i have had by email, i am not the only one to have had the misfortune of dealing with him, funny how all the people i have had trouble with in the US are mainly from forum based sales?

What oldwood said! Every transaction, foreign or domestic, friend or stranger, has a degree of risk! 315 Million people here in the States, so admittedly we have some bad seeds. Most of us are good folks though . . . . so don't be afraid to deal.
