On October 25 I put a scooter on law-away and paid it off in a week cause I didn't want to mis-out on the great deal they had on 2008 Biella 150.So when I called to see when it would be being shipped they said my scooter was damaged by something falling on it and I could choose another.I didn't want anything but what I choose in the 1st place so they said my refund was on the way back into my account,and it would take 5 days.Today was the 5th day and my bank said there was zero dollars from GREEN EARTH SCOOTERS .com put back into my account.I will keep everyone posted this was to be my first scooter I paid for another one on one of my credit cared and it will be here Tuesday but it just might have cost me 779.99$ dollars more.I was going to just pay for it in full when I received my refund but not it looks like I have been robbed by GREEN EARTH SCOOTERS .COM.

It really is ridiculous. Electronic transfers were supposed to be faster than sending checks back and forth. We know the capability exists-- they can certainly transfer money from our accounts fast enough-- but there are always mysterious reasons why they "can't" do the same in reverse. I strongly suspect that it has a lot to do with the banks deciding that they just don't want to give the money up to its rightful owner for awhile-- which would mean the receiving bank, by the way. They make money by holding it for a week or so while we wait.

That may be your card but you also need to understand that their terms say 5 days but in actuality it will take at least the min of 10 days that is almost any were on the web and in the store.

I got the money today I guess I jumped the gun but its hard to trust the internet cause you never know who it is your paying.I might add Sara the girl said 5 days tops maybe she did not know?Like Denise said they can get paid in an instant but getting it back in your bank takes time,not fair but I wanted to let people know cause I dont want to cause them any bussiness but I was worried.What made me worry was after I paid there was no address for the company and when I emailed asking for it they acted like they did'nt want to give it up so it made me think there was something wrong.Thank GOD!!But back to happier things my new scooter will be here Tuesday.Anyone live near Wauchula Florida??

Torino428cj,
That is great news. Hey you never answered my question looking at your call sign TORINO428cj!! Do you have a Torino with the 428 big block? If so put up a picture of it. I am an old hot rodder used to Drag Race every Sunday at U.S 30 Drag Strip and of course on the street to make some bucks(hehe).

If you asked me their address I could have told you. PEACE POWER SPORTS, INC. Address:2533 Royal Ln., Suite 505 DALLAS, TX 75229 Peace is the parent company and once upon a time Green Earth had this address listed. Want to know why I know it so well? It used to be the address for GS Motorworks before they moved their address to Georgia. Green Earth and Peace just moved in and took over the office after GSMW was bought by Tao Tao. |

OK here is the answer to why you are waiting. Three reasons. 1st the company you are dealing with doesn't do a huge volume of business hence the credit card merchant processing company has more then likely put them on a 5 or 7 day plan. Those are business days not counting weekends and holidays. 2nd Green Earth waited a day or two before they actually put in your refund, which happens a lot. 3rd Your bank, yes your bank can receive electronic transfers the night before and wait a day or a weekend to put the money in your account. When you deal with huge companies such as Best Buy or Walmart there refunds are fast due to the large volume of business they do.
