BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

well i'll start off by say'n my brother got a turbo off of here awhile ago and it had no markings on it, i asked guillaume (guy from blaast) if he knew what it was? he said the pics were pretty big but he was pretty sure it was a gm-8 , i figured hell he rebuild turbo's for a living im sure he knows his ----, so i asked him to send it express so if it was the wrong one i could get another in time to boost my car, well now d/p piece for 2 1/2 weeks, so i got pretty pissed but politley asked him where my flange was? he replied " it was held at customs, investegated and then sent back to him" but he'd send out another one, well about 2 1/2 weeks later i get them and there the wrong one !!!! so i waited awhole month and a week to get the wrong part, (but no big deal i didnt know what turbo it was and people make mistakes) so, upon lots-o-research i found out the turbo is a gm-3, told guillaume i needed one for the gm-3 and he said he would send it right out, well here we are again 3 weeks later still with no d/p flange i pmed him about this and he said he sent it he did his part!!! quote from him
i shipped your downpipe the day we agreed to. it's in the mail.

Delay from my end = zero.\

well ---- i think it is his fault or he needs to find a new shipping company i sent my ------- money to him september 5th ( he also charged me 34 dollars for "express" shipping) i payed 50 bucks for a 26 dollar flange,

all i can say is if i ever get the right flange shipped here, i would never do business with such horrible customer service like i've had at blaast, :(

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Apparently you had problems with 1 guy at blaast

but charging you for express and not having it come and him not caring is sorta shitty

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

ya been dealing with the same guy its the guy on here his name is guillaume nadeau i think he is the owner ,

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

should've know by the name

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

haha, you got put on BLAAAAAAAST, nigga. ;D

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

damn french-canadian

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

i got my stuff from him in 3 days, but i live in canada, about 9 hours away.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Sounds like a shipping problem to me.

It sucks, but when you are shipping between the US and Canada ---- gets lost and misplaced easily.

He's been nothing but helpful to me. *shrug*

I know how bad it sucks to wait and wait on a part and then it not even be the right one. That is really frustrating.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

the best way to ship anything international is through the post office, the gov't will put themselves before anyone else (ups, DHL, fedex, etc) Blaast should know that being as i can almost guarantee most thier business is from the US

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Within Canada he always got my ---- to me within a few days. I've always had problems shipping to and from the states, it's not Blaast's fault our border is gay and it takes weeks to get through.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I wouldnt say weeks... I sent some pistons to xgenturbo and i think it took 7-10 days or so

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

its not always that way. my bud(hatchbox90) send a bunch of ---- to a guy on Canada, and it ended up taking 6 weeks to get there. the guy even made a thread on here about hatchbox90 being a scammer, but 2 days later the ---- showed up

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

its gambling when you send intl, customs just picks randomly what they want to investigate. there is no real method to it

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

i sent some IAVC;s to ghettoturbo (?) and that ---- showed up in canada in like 3 days... ---- must have just slid threw customs...

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

This isn't the first time this guy has had "shipping problems" that "weren't his fault" I had a buddy that took roughly two months to get a turbo from Blasst and once he put in on the car, it was a giant turd. ::)

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

you used pay pal didnt you. put a claim out on his ass. then se if there is like a better buisness of canada or something and put a claim threw there.


he is obvisly a punk bitch he aint even coming in here to defend him self


SCAMMER

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Did he provide any type of shipping confirmation or anything?

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I'm sure he'll come on here, he's not the type that's on hmt every waking hour.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

if hes from Canada and your not. your going to have to expect waiting. i dont order parts/ship parts to or from Canada. just because its fucked up and you might have to wait. and then people think your scamming them and other way around. i shipped out some injectors and the guy didnt get them for over a month and half i think it was. it was suppose to be there in one day. well made me look bad even though i showed him the reciept and all. point is dont expect anything fast coming from Canada. i dont think i have known anyone with good luck ordering from Canada.

i have not done buisness with Blaast. but i have read lots of good reviews from people on here. people always saying he does a great job rebuilding turbos. it doesnt matter if he ships it express or not if customs gets a hold of your pakage your going to be waiting

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

i would like to hear what he said b/c i was thinking of buying stuff from him.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

the main point is ive waited months it takes 4-8 busi days to get ---- from canadia and he said in a pm he never has problems shipp to the u.s.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I had one experience with blaast about 4 years ago when I ordered a t3/t4 turbo from him on ebay and I'm still waiting for it. It was going on to my 02 sohc neon that I had. After waiting a few weeks I had contacted him and he answered me and said that it was probably do to ng , he had emailed me the picture of the reciept for the shipping and everything. I tried using the tracking number on the receipt to look for the turbo at the website for the canadian post office, but it said it did not exist. I kept emailing him every week after that and he always responded to my emails. I was new to ebay, I asked him if I should make a claim to paypal or something, but, he told me no because it would do me no good because that would only help if I could prove that he didn't send it, and he had already emailed me the copy of the shipping receipt. So after waiting 2 1/2 months, I left him negative feedback, and he bitched and moaned and said to me that if I didn't take the negative feedback back that he would not help me with discovering what had hapened to the turbo. Well ,I took the feedback back, but, never heard from him again. I 've been reading here at hmt since I decided to turbo my neon, and every time I see blaast write something I cringe. I always seen that he helps alot of guys out on here and always has great information and knowledge of different turbo questions and always says that he will take care of you and it is very likely that he did ship me my turbo, but after losing my 350.00 , I never again ordered anything from canada. Again, i'm not saying he does bad business, just giving a heads up to people who want to order stuff from other countries. Customs sucks ass.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Ok, well, he's lying about that.

So do people who repeatedly use a known poor shipping method. It's funny how it seems as if his packages are always getting held up in customs.

Maybe he uses Hotrex International shipping :8

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I have NEVER had a problem shipping stuff via USPS express mail to Canada! Even USPS Parcel Post has had no problems. The shipped items varied from a turbo kit, to a cylinder head, to cf wings. And bits in between. USPS is my choice for all my shipping needs. Express to canada doesn't even take that long, like a week or 3-5 days, including customs.

He's bullshitting. Thanks for the thread, cause I will never buy from him. :)

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

for sure he slack more than josh and is just pure unreliable

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

he seemed like a cool gu, very informative with my questions. Guess i wont be buying from that guy

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

yea he answered alot of my questions to, how ever he def has hotrex for a shipping manager

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I have shipped hundreds of packages back and forth across the border.%90 of the time it takes a week or less.But if customs decides to inspect it as they do randomly then you are fucked as it will sit there for 2-8 weeks.I wouldnt mind hearing what he has to say as i have heard tons of great reviews regarding his business and only a couple bad.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

this guy it right i dont care what you guys say or what shipping methods you use if it hits customs there not really a time limit on anything there. it will get done when it gets to. the best way is to go threw ups and get a shipping confirmation. or usps and go parcel were thats the only one were they have a shipping confirmation. any other ones you wont get it and you have to pay more for it so alot of people arent willing to pay the extra $$$. so to be cheap they will just go the standard route and thats not the shippers problem thats the person paying the $$$.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I ship something to canada a few times a month. Never had anything held up at customs, lucky me. knock-on-wood I have a VSS on the way there right now to Jeff_baker. lets hope it gets there quickly.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

same ---- for me, usps does seem to work the best.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

I'm not worried, haha. The first turbo manifold I bought off here took over 3 months. Second one took a month. One within canada took 3 days.

Perhaps Guillaume at Blaast did not address the original poster's concerns properly, but the wait time is not his fault.

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Here's my advice when using paypal.

It's kind off hardcore dickhead nazi of me, When ever I buy something off of ebay or pay with paypal and I don't get a working tracking number in three days I file a dispute. I always tell the person that I'm buying from that i'll do it to. So they can tell me if I should bid or not.
Because it takes three days for a paypal payment to go all the way through my bank ,so that way it doesn't have time to all the way clear into thiers. If the money is already in the sellers hand then it's over you can't get your money back it's gone. Paypal just sends the person collection letters or some ----. But you'll never see a dime of your cash back.

And Blaast is cool to me. I had a good experiance with them. I'd buy from him. Like has been said Before He just needs to switch Carriers "Or switch his boxes to something that doesn't stand out to the really bored customs inspector. :1

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
 

Zeniceguycrx sent me ---- from canada and it got here in a week and I live in daytona beach florida. :6

Re: BLAAST PERFORMANCE 2 THUMBS DOWN !!!
