Thumbs down Autosticker.com

I recently purchased the Texas emblem overlays from Autosticker.com. Well, after almost $45.00 and a week of waiting, the sticker look like I could have made them on my home PC with a dot-matrix printer. I am currently trying to return them and I have read they are going to charge me a $5.00 restocking fee. I have attached the information I am sending to them in my Return Authorization Request.

Please state reason for return:

I am not satisfied with the quality of the sticker or the graphic. In my opinion, it only vaguely resembles the pictures on the website. You are selling these as a modification for the new Ford F150 ($35K truck). The dot-matrix style shading on the word Ford looks cheap. That is the style of printing you could do in the 1980's. It looks NOTHING like the picture on the internet. I have a very good resolution video card and an excellent monitor and I can conveniently see no dots for the shading in the word Ford on the website picture. Rest assured, that is not the way the stickers look in person.

Customer Notes:

Let me start by saying I understand you are most likely not the person I am upset with, and I am sorry you have to take care of this instead of the person who has misled me. I see no reason to be held to a restocking fee for these items. The graphics are sub-par and the pictures of the product on your website are a dressed up version, or at least taken from their "best side" and not a direct representation. I feel I have been duped.
Also, I suggested this site to MANY people on the www.ford-trucks.com website. This is something I surely regret now, and have made my appologies to the people who have also waisted thier time and money buying this product. You should expect many more returns in the near future.

Sorry to hear that, and just to let you know the amount of vinyl they used doesn't amount to $2 bucks worth. I'm proud to be a Georgia Bulldawg and thankfully we've got a very simple logo that I was able to make myself (see gallery). Its a 2 layer proccess and took me about 20 minutes to make and apply using 4 mil vinyl, soapy water, and a hair dryer to "heat and stretch" the vinyl into place. Hope you're able to get your money back from these people and I hate it that they are false advertising.

Also sorry to here that Sideit. I have the Texas flag overlay made custom for me by Softdecal(ebay)Quality is very good,at least in my opinion. It does not have the word ford over it just image of Texas flag.I have been stoped on the street a few times by other 04 owners asking were they can get it. Hope you get your refund and you might try Softdecal.

You can ask for stock wheel emblem decals at the same time (from softdecal) ... don't know how much extra he'd charge you. If you're going to get them, you'll get a better package deal by buying all at once.

Just call me softdecal's pimp (aka Ivan)!

Here is the response to my return request for the shotty work done by Auto Trim Design. This is only part of the entire letter as he graciously added a legal statement at the bottom to keep me from posting it to the site.

You cannot Return an item based on your decision that you do not like the product once received.

This is paraphrased for legal reasons, but I can assure you it is no exageration.

How about that for poor customer service.
