I too have had a problem. So far I placed an order on the 16th, and it hasn’t shipped yet (22nd). They don’t pick up their phones and I’m not so confident on their online “Live Chat” to help me.

Might have to call my credit card company.

I too have had problems with OBB. I used my debit card to pay for a part and it was charged the following day (the order was placed in late evening) I placed the order on Dec. 6, 2009 and it is now over a month later and still nothing. Repeated emails have gone unanswered and finally I got someone to answer the phone today. She said with the holiday season their restock was delayed and they were expecting the shipment at the end of this week. I told her just forget it and cancel the order. I was told she could not do that immediately but if my order was not fulfilled as requested then I could call back and have it cancelled and have a full refund.
We will see how this goes.. I should have read the reviews before placing the order but desperation does that to you

Crap, wish my husband would have read this sooner! He purchased over $100 worth of parts on Sept 8 for a bike he’s fixing up. It’s now NOVEMBER and we’re STILL trying to get either a refund or his order! After repeated unanswered calls, he finally got a response after saying that he was going to file a formal complaint. OBB said that the credit card charged our account, but did not process the funds to their accounts. Strange, right? So I called Visa, and they said that no, the funds DID post to OBB. And, like another person commented, OBB just keeps opening new case numbers without ever dealing with the issue.

Sounds like OBB is in WAY over their head … and I’m about to lose mine!

Like other posters, wish I’d seen this site before I ordered. placed order for GL1000 tune-up kit on Aug. 17 and $39.44 deducted from my account that day. after numerous emails, told part on back-order. after more emails, told they’d refund my account on Sept. 28th, even had official looking refund memo. to date, no refund after 3 more emails and phone call today (no answer, left message)
does anyone know of a good physical address for them? I’ll file a complaint with the appropriate attorney-general’s office. Its called theft.

I just realized that I have been ripped off. I am stunned, how can someone do this and not get their teeth bashed in..If you New Yorkers are willing to do some damage I will pay you…
Yep I am in the same boat as the rest of ya. It\’s been over 3 months and now they tell me that the credit card wasn\’t valid so they cancelled my order but kept my payment. My order had been \’pending fullfillment\’ for 2 months but they galdly took my money immediately. I filed a complaint with the better buisness bureau and disputed the charge with my bank. Well it turns out that they have 2 NY addresses, 1 in Vermont and 1 in Canada.

Same thing as the rest of you these guys are theives. What can be done to stop them? What law enforcement agency would take it on because I see that $200 here and $190 there quickly adds up to some type of internet fraud and theft into the thousands and even hundreds of thousands.
It would even be great to consider a class action to recove something. Anyone agree?

I found Barrie H. Blogging away at tweeter just yesterday, bragging about being the proud president and founder of obb, telling a story about his life in the army and how he was mistreated.

This scumbag, expects respect but gives none, typical new yorker attitude, always looking for someone to screw over, sorry about the stereotype but that is my impression of new yorkers.

We need to shut them down! they are still taking orders, stealing coning, laughing all the way to the bank!

I ordered two tires two months + ago, bill the bear’s brother said he would ship asap, no tires, no email responses, no phone call answers, how are this people allowed to be in business, taking unsuspecting victims money and giving nothing at all in return.

Why the city of New York allows this scam to continue having an open website/store? There has to be something we can do? Ideas?

Same thing with me. Ordered a headlight in June. I have sent numerous emails. Only one got answered in July. Nothing since then. They have my money and won’t reply to email. Tried to call the 800 # but was hung up after a voice mail said the call volume was too high goodbye.

Well, it looks like the schmucks are alive and well in Upstate NY. Placed an order and like everyone else, card charged immediately and order still pending with no response from this supposed businessman of integrity.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS CON ARTIST. IT’S A FRAUDULENT BUSINESS ONLY TAKING MONEY FROM THE UNSUSPECTING!!!! They do not answer their phones nor do they answer e-mails. Time to get the FTC involved as this is wire fraud while doing interstate commerce.
