Everyone BEWARE of ALN JDM Auto Motor.

I bought two 2JZGTE Auto transmissions from them on or around 9/28 . Alex told me they are in great working condition with 45-65K miles on them. When I received both transmissions, dropped both pans, and found a grip of metal shavings.

I called to complain about it, and he says

1.) "its normal to have metal shavings in trannys"
^Alex doesn't know shit.

2.) "I've been doing this for years now, I sell Supra 6 speeds, and things more expensive than your two trannys, why would I sell you messed up parts? Why would I rip you off?"
^this doesn't justify shit.

3.) "Other customers buy my stuff, and they don't complain."
^this also doesn't justify shit.

4.) "Install it and then see that it will work fine, I can't refund you without at least installing it"
^ So I get the tranny with less metal shavings installed thinking it will have a better chance, and it lasted only 20 minutes! Got stuck on the freeway, and had to wait 1.5 hrs to get towed. He wouldn't give me a refund from just looking at all the metal in the pan.

I found these trannys on eBay, but I ended up calling him bc the number was listed, and I told him I was going to bid on the (1) tranny he had listed. He told me not to do that, but I wish I did, so I could have left a feedback. F&CK ME.

Also he said he will refund $160 of $592 if I return them both.. WTF? HOW DOES HIS MATH WORK?? He told me shipping was $190 for both trannies to me, but if I send it back, he won't refund me shipping for both ways?? Its supposed to be 1 way, since the price I paid including shipping to me. But if I'm paying to ship it back to him out of my own pocket, I should receive $402 of the $592 I sent him. He also said if I don't return by this week, he can't refund me! But I told him I can't, I work full time, and go to school. I need to find time to get the tranny taken out, packaged up and shipped. Then he pretty much said, Oh well, then you can't get your refund of anything. THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT and unreasonable! Even after I sent him pics of all the shaving in the oil pan.

Here are some pictures.
