DON"T USE THIS VENDOR!
Well, I finally received my wheels and tires this past Friday. That is the good news. The bad news is that although George, the internet sales rep, promised to mount the tires and wheels, he and his manager decided to not do this as promised. In addition, when questioned about this decision, he first told me a story about how the FedEx guy wouldn't "let" him mount them. Then he later said that his manager said that they wouldn't mount them. So, another $60 down the tube to have them mounted at Discount Tire here locally in Austin.
Then, in reviewing the invoice for the deal, I found I had been charged New Jersey sales tax. I went and reviewed a few tax bulletins from New Jersey and found the following quote:
"items generally sold to out-of-state customers are generally not subject to New Jersey sales tax"
So, what do you do with that? Items are a hassle to order from this vendor because of a faulty website, they promise service they don't deliver, and they charge you sales tax even though they are delivering out of state. Is this someone we should be doing business with? I'll leave that one to you. My opinion is that none of us should order from A&C Extreme Sports, Inc in New Jersey until these guys learn how to be ethical and honest. Here is a link to there website so there is no confusion:

I am sorry to report this poor experience. This is probably a young vendor, but I did give them two opportunities by phone to rectify the problem. I asked for a refund of the sales tax citing the tax bulletin published by their state and I asked for all or part of the $60 fee I suffered here locally for mounting to be returned. Their attitude was not just no, but heck no, it wasn't their fault.
Enjoy your day!
