Frustration mounting with iCarbon...
Placed an order well over 3 weeks ago with them through a vendor. They told us everything was in stock and would ship immediately. Yet here I sit. Still no parts. And to top it off, been trying to.contact them for 3 days and I get a recorded message asking me to leave a message. Obviously, they will get right on a call back from a voicemail. Right.... :thumbsdown:

FWIW, I am not the type to bash a company but I expected more from them at this point. A few days before shipping is cool. But over two weeks when you tell me that both parts are in stock is rather pathetic IMHO. Oh, and still no response to any emails sent by the vendor to iCarbon.

I would call Setian @ DTMrack.com. He seems to be able to handle iCarbon issues pretty well. This is one of the main reasons I stayed away from them. I would have really loved to have that trunk.

As much as I would like to, I don't want to get another vendor involved. I have the vendor I placed the order through dealing with them. If I don't have a tracking number by Friday, I will cancel the order. I know Agency Power makes a front splitter and rear diffuser for the 135i and I can have it same day. And get them installed same day also. Still pretty pathetic on iCarbon's part.

Awesome. So these clowns tell me when I order that both parts are ready to ship. So I place the orders and am immediately charged. Called today to be told that the front lip and rear diffuser production will be completed on the 12the and will ship on the 14th. Not only do I not believe this, I am floored that this is how they run their business. Maybe and ethics and integrity class is needed for these guys. Still considering cancelling the order and buying both pieces from Agency Power.

Yeah, it's official. I won't purchase ANY iCarbon. I really only wanted the trunk anyway, but still this is ridiculous. After all the issues you would think they would smooth the process out eventually.

So far everything I have ordered fits like a glove. Plus I want everything in Matte, and that IS not an option with BMW parts as of this time.

I guess those who have issues should be really clear who they ordred from. so we can indeed decide whether or not this is a iCarbon issue or vendor issue... |

If some members ordered through iCarbon and the order took long, then of course that would be an iCarbon issue. But the link posted by HondaGoneRogue is a different story, the member clearly ordered through another dealer. And that has nothing to do with iCarbon themselves. A dealer should know what they have in stock, and if they do drop ship, then they should know what the manufacturer has in stock. Alas, this is why we have our own stock. So we can control everything ourselves. But remember that iCarbon doesn't sell directly anymore, so aside from those old pending orders, any bad service a customer receives has to pertain or fall on the dealer they chose to use. As far as those old pending orders, (which are the ones you mentioned), I was just at iCarbon this week and from what I saw, those customers will be getting something delivered real soon I just can't wait for all the pending 'direclty purchased from iCarbon' orders to be fullfilled. Because that day, iCarbon will be able to keep on shining for the quality in their products, and not be shun because of their lack of quality in retail services. When that day comes, every person interested in iCarbon will be able to say "My iCarbon pieces are SO SICK, and the customer service was awesome...because I bought through DTMrack" |

@DTM I think you guys will def be one of my very first vendors to check if I want a product because your customer service is by far one of the best. However, based on my exp. with iCarbon it just left a sour taste in my mouth and while the product was exactly as described, it just took way too long and the lack of accountability (or any apology for the delays) was too much to ignore. |

The thing that concerns me most NOW. Assume I decide to stick with the order due to certain reasons (i.e. the iCarbon parts are the most aethetically pleasing parts compared to competition per my taste or I cannot afford the alternatives, etc.), how is customer service gonna be if I have a problem? The sale, to me, doen't stop at the purchase/transaction. If there is a quality issue or a fitment issue, are these problems going to persist as far as the ones I am currently experiencing? Sad that there has been no input from iCarbon on this thread. Totally at a loss as to what to do now.
