Just to share a recent experience with you all...
I am currently refreshing a car I purchased as a project last year and have been changing all the wear parts in the suspension, exhausts, brakes...etc etc!
Once I had the rear end dissembled I noticed a few heat shields were missing. Most I purchased through OPC however I wanted to opt for some good used ones for the exhaust shields.
I found the part number at Design911 and emailed a few breakers. McPorsche replied and said they had a good used pair and a deal was done.
They arrived promptly however they were the wrong part - they had in fact sent the outer exhaust bumper shields - completely different part number.
I text the chap there (will not post names) to tell him he had sent the wrong ones. He replied straight away to simply state I'd got what I'd asked for. A few emails/texts were exchanged with me simply stating I'd asked for a specific part number and he's sent a different one. (I even included the pics from Design911 to show the difference).
Still no joy even after I said I also needed some replacement under body plastics and to help appease him refunding me, I'd happily buy those from him once I had returned/exchanged these incorrect shields.
Under duress and clearly quite miffed by the situation he told me I was still wrong but he would refund me if I sent them back. Which I did...and as you can guess, I've not heard anything back from him in over 3 weeks now.
So basically, I'm out of pocket and have no parts!
Not sure if any people have used him, but this is just my experience.
To add insult to injury he asked if I'd pay by "friends and family" and stupidly, and to prevent fee's I did - so no protection there. Lesson learnt.
Been buying bits (new and used) over the internet for years and never had a problem - always bound to be one to spoil it!
I'll be up that way in a few months and will be sure to call in on his business address anyway as its really pee'd me off!
