Angry Umnitza P53s

So I placed an order about 3 weeks ago for Umnitza Projecter 53s for my E53 X5, despite being advised by friends and message board warnings to stay away from Umnitza. I thought it was a rather long time but didn't mind because I figured the wait would pay off. So I arrive home today and they were there..I open the box, and yeah. When people advise you to avoid ordering from umnitza..they are doing that for a reason. They sent me some cheap headlights that you can get from ebay for like $250. I paid $600 for Umnitza headlights not this cheap crap! And this isn't some mistake, I've read on message boards that they have done the same exact thing. What kind of company would even TRY to put their name on something that isn't up to their quality? I am extremely disappointed and will be sending this back. I am now thinking of possibly ordering from a different company, possibly Custom Angel Eyes.. hope they are better.

Cheap crap sent:



What should have been sent:

How do they get away with all this? They need to be tought a thing or two about BASIC customer service. But ya I should be getting either a refund or an exchange. I ordered from Modbargains so I kind of have them on my side. So far they have excellent service. I was thinking about forgetting the Umnitza product completly because of this experience, but customangeleyes.com lights are about 600 more (I need the whole headlight housing). But I guess I would rather pay a bit more for a good quality product and service..

Damn...ok I see your beef now. So you're saying you paid umnitza for the chromium's AE's with the p53's and they didn't give you the chromium AE's? On top of not even giving you the correct actual p53's?

yup yup. but surprisingly umnitza called me to correct the problem..which is good I guess. they say there is an issue with the p53 headlight that i wanted (it leaks) that is why they sent me the 'new' one.

they always overprice their products. the same products are available elsewhere at lower cost but they always advertise their stuffs are unique. but you will see the truth once you get them in hands. sorry to hear it bro. check their return policy.
