    Ordered 5r110W transmission. Same issue as every other person on every review site. Transmission never finished. Bull response that refund check was sent. Same run around different state. Guy is robbing people blind. Banks can't do anything about it as it was an electronic check. He knows what he is doing. Two months of waiting and dealing with this bull Absolute con. Don't ever buy anything from this clown. Hopefully people see these reviews before purchasing. Taking advantage of hard working people from all over the country. I have every email sent back and forth I'll upload if this is not resolved by July. Judging by other people's misfortunes I'll never see my 2 grand back.

    On Thursday Dec ******* I ordered a rebuilt transmission from ***** River Transmission.. I paid with an electronic check from my account at ***************. The money was deducted from my account on Dec *******. The amount of the transaction was $1337.50. My sole contact with the company is with someone who identifies themselves as **** The breakdown of the$1337.50 price is as follows:$1000 4L60E transmission $250 upgraded torque converter $87.50 7% tax Throughout Jan,Feb and March 2025 I had ongoing communication with **** concerning the status of my order. I was told he was waiting on parts. Then around the first of March he said the transmission was complete and ready for shipping. After a week or so had passed I contacted him and I was told he was waiting on the truck to pick it up. After two more weeks I contacted him and asked for the contact info of the freight company. If he wouldn't provide this info then I told him I felt a refund was due. He immediately agreed to refunding my money. On March ******* I text him and told him I had not received a check. He replied and stated that he checked and it went out March 4th. On March 26th I told him I had not received it. On March 27th he said he would stop payment on that check and send another from PO with tracking. On March 29th he stated that he would check with his bank to make sure it hadn't been cashed and put stop payment on it and send another one. This was the last communication I've had with him. As of today May 1st,2025 I have received neither a refund check nor a transmission from this company.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    He states he already sent. I have not received it and I do not believe he sent it. Previously he said he would forward me a tracking number when he sent it. This has not happened.

    Ordered a transmission and was given the run around about waiting for parts while the parts were readily available on line. Seems like this business has had multiple complaints of the same kind and it is a wonder that they haven’t been shut down for fraud. Asked to cancel my order and it has been a month with no refund. Been told the check is in the mail, mail is not that slow and have never received any check. Ordered the same transmission from a reputable dealer and had it in three days.
    Just want my refund and to put this whole ordeal behind me.

    At current 206 days since refund was requested no refund received. As slow as the **** can be at times, it does not take 206 days to deliver a mail piece. No tracking number on a check over $1k is **** at best. You *** are a liar and fraud. You refuse overright delivery at my expense.

    I ordered a 4R100 transmission with upgraded torque converter on 9/19/24 for $1872.50 (price plus tax). I was told I would receive the transmission within 7-10 days. On 10/7/24 I called to check on the transmission since I had not received any more communications or a transmission. He sent an email at that time saying they were waiting on the valve body and electronics to complete and would email when ready. On 11/7/24 I contacted them again and was told that they do not have the transmission and I could request a refund through email. I requested a refund that day and received an email the next day saying Order canceled. Refund check to be mailed to the name and address as it appeared on the check we received with your orderTwo and half weeks went by and still no check. I called AGAIN on 11/26/24 and asked what day the check was mailed and AGAIN he said give me about 10 minutes and Ill let you know. He sent another email saying I checked, mailed last Thursday 21st, to the name and address as it appeared on the check we received with your order.Two more weeks went by and I called AGAIN on 11/5/24 and asked what address the check was mailed to and AGAIN was told give me ***** minutes and Ill get back to you. Then sent me an email saying I checked, sent to address from original invoice. (Address deleted for this post)*********, sc ***** It's out there. If you want I can put stop payment on it and send another from post office with tracking. Let me know.If the check was actually mailed, it was mailed to the wrong address and I have the emails to show it. This activity seems to be a recurring problem with this company if you read the complaints on the BBB. This is fraudulent activity and the business should be investigated and shut down. I intend to file a lawsuit in small claims court if he doesnt actually send me a check with a tracking number timely. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!

    Complaint: 22646505

    I am rejecting this response because:

     The
    representative said he mailed a refund check but mailed it to the wrong
    address. Im doubtful he ever mailed the check due to he had my correct
    address clearly in the email of our original transaction. Now he states he
    is going to send a check with a tracking number but that was on 12.6.24 and
    I still do not have a check or tracking number. Now he is claiming that he
    cant drive to get to the post office because he had eye surgery. He is a
    fraud and I plan to contact the licensing board to complain.
    I am not satisfied with any outcome so please dont close the case.
    Thank you, Jancer

    I am rejecting this response because:

    He states he sent the check to the address on the check but he did not. He emailed me the address he sent it to and it was the wrong address, not the address on a check (which he never actually got a check, it was an electronic check via transfer). Now he is saying he will send a check with a tracking number when he gets to the post office. That was over a month ago, December 6, 2024. I read online that this seems to be a common practice by this guy/business. Seems like a common con man.
