So, Achtuning tried to bribe me with $50 to delete a post here after screwing up my order
So I made a <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2200882.phtml">post</a> a week ago or so complaining that I hadn't received my order after nearly a month. Only after making this public on the forum did Achtuning actually make a concerted effort to fill my order. To their credit the OEM DPs I ordered were packed well and arrived as described.
They offered me $50 (shipping refund) to delete the post. I decided not to accept this because if these posts continue to be deleted, Achtuning will contine their sh!tty/shady business practices and will have little motivation to implement changes. If I sell out and delete my post, 10 more people will place an order with Achtuning, and may well be mislead for many weeks about their order status. I wasn't in urgent need of the product I ordered - but I couldn't even get a decent response about its status. If I had my engine/car in pieces waiting patiently for a part, it would have really sucked. I don't want this to happen to any of you. So moral of the story, I really see no reason to deal with Achtuning in the future unless they make some drastic changes.

The moderators are very fast to delete posts that are "against the rules", who
the hell is moderating the advertisers ?
There needs to be some kind of balance.
Just my .02
ps. I have nothing against Achtuning specifically.

good choice, i turned my back on them and went to hartmann
bought rims from them, waited forever, wrong stuff shipped, then had to wait for new stuff. a year later i bought another set of rims but from hartmann instead since i couldn't even get anyone on the phone at achtuning, got great service shipped within a week with everything that was supposed to be there including a bonus t-shirt :-)

Hmm I wonder if this is why Snow Trooper's thread is deleted . . .
