WTF World Upholstery?

Post by gwb72tii »

Anybody have any inside knowledge what is going in at World Upholstery. I paid for a headliner back in August and now they are under new management supposedly. There is no way to contact anyone there for the last month and a half. No headliner, no way to leave a message, no customer service.

2002 owners at the FAQ are also surprised/disappointed.

Anyone live in/near Santa Paula, CA that would be willing to do a drive by and see if anyone is home at their shop?

I might be heading up to my jobsite in Ojai in a few weeks (around 11/12) and can certainly swing through there, but that might be too far out for you.
If no one else steps up and you've not heard from them by then, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

If it’s not too much trouble I’d appreciate it. The website is operational but it’s been impossible to get any human response.

So it's not working out for a drive-by this week; not sure if you've heard back from them in the interim or not.
Also not sure when I would be heading out that way next but certainly not before Thanksgiving likely.
Sorry, maybe someone else is nearby and can get eyes on them.

Any time Vince, the website is not working now so it looks like I may be out $450 and still in need of a headliner
