BUYER BEWARE!! Blackpaw Innovations is a FRAUD!!
For anyone considering this product, please reconsider. Mike Phillips, the owner of Blackpaw Innovations, stole my money. This is business is a complete scam!! I ordered and paid for one of these units on March 12th. Mike told me it would ship in 10 business days. I never got my tracking information, so I tried calling Mike, and calling Mike, and calling Mike. Finally, he responded to a message I left on his website and told me that it had been shipped, but he was out of town on vacation and would have to send me the tracking number when he got back. He never did and my tire carrier never showed up. I then started a second wave of emails, phone calls, text messages, website comments, etc. to try and find out what the deal was. Finally, Mike responded and told me that it had shipped. AGAIN!! Guess what, still no tracking number! At that point he pretty much cut off any communication we had. Weeks went by and I've tried numerous times to get my money refunded in which Mike lied to me many more times telling me he would send my money back. He has gone so far as to tell me my paypal refund was "in progress". I'm pretty familiar with paypal and the process pretty much consists of entering the amount you want to send somebody and hitting the button. Since the latest lies, Mike will not respond AT ALL. If you know anyone considering one of these units, please direct them to this post. Anyone who needs further evidence, I've got saved copies of everything sent back and forth and would be more than happy to share it. Thank you for reading this and please link it to any and all offroad forums you may be affiliated with.
Thanks!

File a complaint with PayPal and they will see that the issue gets resolved.

paypal will not just transfer your money back. might have to take him to small claims court if paypal cant help.
