You might be interested to know that over promise, under deliver is apparently a problem with APT...
Here are some posts from
http://www.trx250r.net/forum/intake-fuel/22377-pre-ordered-my-cast-apt-smartcarb-today-22.html
"I havent gotten any emails and I am still waiting... After I pay for a product, communication on that products expected delivery time should follow. Ive got nothing. Im patient and have no problem waiting.. I just dont understand how businesses stay in business without communicating to their paying customers or even potential customers.. Sometimes I just have to shake my head how some people run businesses." (this one was back in NOVEMBER!!!)

"Wow every time I check back on this still no progress, you guys are patient. I'd want my money back." (December)

"Thanks for the feedback rablack21. I will hold out a bit longer just to try it.. Im just a little erked when i get this.. I am able to guarantee to you now, that you’re APT SmartCarb® will be delivered on or before March 7th t.
And today is the 7th with no communication on it... ugghhhh. some companies I'll tell ya.." (March 7)

"Nothing burns my a$$ more than when someone communicates something to you and then leaves you hanging. I have this at work all the time.. With all do respect to anyone I deal with including my boss and other head honchos. I voice it to whoever it is in a not so polite manner asking them are their fingers broke and cant dial the phone??!! Or in this case is your computer and/or fingers broken and cant send an email??!!!" (March 12)

"I got some info to pass along. Here is an update for ya: for better or worse.
I called and talked to Corey Dyess personally. I told him there were people on the forums that were agitated because they hadn't gotten their carbs, and possibly more importantly, they have not gotten any updates as to what is going on. This is why he told me.
I apologized for the lack of communication, but has, more or less, pulled everyone away from the phones to a certain extent to either help assemble carbs or package them or ship them. He said that Liz is not really answering the phone or emails right now because she is helping to package carbs and prepare shipping info. He said instead of issuing another excuse to people why the carbs weren't done to give people an update, they are pushing everybody they got to getting carbs finished and shipped. He said they will have all of the orders completed, shipping, or shipped by the end of 2 weeks. He is just now getting back to returning calls made to him and try to get back with customers. I actually left a message the first time I called and he called me back a couple hours later. He realizes that they have made some mistakes along the way, but they are trying the best they can to make everything right. He didn't want to spend any more time sending out updates as to why they weren't do, but wanted to spend all man power actually getting them finished and shipped instead. He said, "I know people will be happy with the actual product once they finally get what they have waited so long for." I asked him if he wanted me to pass along this information, and he said," yes, please do".
Hope this helps some of you that are still waiting. Thought you guys might want to know what's going on." (March 13)

"I am also a business owner.i have been under the gun more than once with too much work,and not enough help.BUT...if I told someone that I would get something done"blank"time...I don't care what it takes,i get it done..i have had both of my sons call of school,had my wife and father-in-law"that is disable"come and help me get the job done...excuses is a sign of weakness...if you tell someone that you will do something,than do it!!!!I hope that these carbs are as good at they advertise and everyone get's theres soon." (March 13)

To say the people out there who pre-ordered this carb, which is apparently pretty expensive, and have been repeatedly strung along about the delivery date are not happy, would be an understatement!
(Wonder how they would feel if they knew that MAYBE the delay was caused by APT being too busy with FROZ to focus on the task at hand???)

and the scooter? This is out on the net:
"Something must be done to ensure the safety of our youth riders of this scooter. They are standing on a problem that when it fails can/will cause a fire/explosion to be literally at their feet. I'm a career firefighter of 20 years and a fire prevention specialist for a metro Atlanta fire department. I can see a huge problem brewing with this defect."

Just one voice, NOTHING to worry about, right???


As always...I'm not saying that money can not be made here...
just saying I chose to avoid ANYTHING related to Sconizzler!!!
and I hope APT knows who they're crawling into bed with!
But hey, MAYBE this is a case of "birds of a feather" so they don't care???

I'll just be sittin', and waitin', to see the FINAL outcome...
