Guess the group buy idea is off........

Evidently, Jim quit taking credit cards?

Again? Didn't they just move and change their name recently??? Like within the past year?

Jeez, decent bumper companies are few and far between now

The website is still up. Nice bumpers and I'd be in on a group buy. There was another bumper dealer that was going to do a group buy. I'll see if I can find the post.

Hello:
Sandy and I are excited to be able to support your site. We are located in the destination resort town of South Fork CO. If you find yourself here give us a shout and let's go fishing on the Rio Grande, or just take a tour of our 6,000 sq ft shop in Del Norte.

Also, we are releasing a full line of inbed ATV truck racks. We worked with Rob at the Outdoor Depot to design the line of racks that can carry an ATV (side by side) with over 100inch wheel base in the bed of your truck and still tow a trailer (the longer wheel base units extend over the cab).

Thanks again for the opportunity to support your forum.
Jim & Sandy Terry
Alien Patrol

:welcome::thumbsup.

Looks like you make some stout pieces. Welcome:beer

People.........This forum is for a PAYING Site Sponsor to advertise his/her products.
Regradless of your feelings/beliefs, this is not the forum to post your negative comments.

Thank You.

 

[dieseltracks]

i wasnt trying to be negative . But if you guys are paying for them to be here shouldnt they stand by there work ?

They pay to be a site sponsor.

 

[benzino909]

not to be negative, but shouldn't the sponsors be moderated to with-hold their agreements to offer members goods. As it seems no one has successfully purchased anything from them...as far as I have read. (this is not a [email protected]&& remark) i'm just lookin for a bumper and we have 2 sponsors here and none of them hold activity...kind of a let down.

"Moderation" is for threads and posts on this forum. Always has been, always will be.

As far as "No one has successfully purchased anything from them"...

Well, there actually IS a few of us that got our bumpers.

There's a write up on mine.

As far as I can see, Alien and "Other" bumper companies seem to be taking a BIG step back away from the Internet sales thing.

Every time they step into the ring, they get beat up pretty bad.

There are successful transactions, and happy customers, but the ones who had a bad experience are always the most vocal...and since the happy customers are reluctant to speak up, (If you do, you will get beat up as badly as the bumper company!)

I think I'm about the only one who will freely admit I recieved my bumper, and am satisfied.
Everyone else has pretty much been beaten into submission by the negativity.

From this, It's pretty easy to percieve bumper companies as "Shady" and extremely risky. Yet, there seems to be allot of them floating around out there...


You do what you feel is right, In the end, It's your money, and their reputation.

 

[benzino909]

yea, didn't want to be negative, I was just trying to find the correct approach at how to go about conducting business in this market. Was looking more-so for an answer rather than to criticize someone. Thanks for the input!

I can say yes I did buy a bumper from jim awsome bumper but would I buy again from AP? NO WAY it took nearly a year to sort out and the threat of legal action to get it. I know of others that have had to pay him a personal visit if you get what I mean to get their money back. Buyer beware.
