So this is the "sold by" store front which says, just launched. Remember the saying about being too good to be true. It's a $160 gamble that you could probably get your money back if you pay with a cc.

Yes. It's also not sold by Zautomotive. Buy it through PayPal and if it doesn't come, then report it. Let us know!
I'm not taking the chance, or I would. I'm less worried it wouldn't showup and more worried they'd ship me some knockoff that would screw up the programming of my Jeep.

You get Amazon support, the ability to return it free, and paying with a CC, protection that direction.
As long as it's genuine zautomotive.
Why not contact them to verify it's legit?

That's because the scam listing has already been removed and the link now shows a legit version shipped by Amazon.
And sold by a business like Taktic4x4 or whatever it's called.

I've always wondered why some businesses sell under more than one name, and why they don't use their REAL name............... why not sell under their REAL business name?

Someone please pronounce the company name (DETAILED Seller Information). This alone would stop me from buying from them.

@IamPro2A is correct. Amazon moved pretty quickly to remove the scam seller. This is going to be even more of a problem as we approach Black Friday, I guess.

Could be many reasons. Many large companies have a "house brand"; Tactik is one of their house brands. Perhaps when they created the storefront is was to only sell the Tactik branded stuff? Could be they prefer not to dilute the Quadratec brand and sales? The profit margins are generally higher if they sell direct; they don't have to give Amazon a cut, so they probably prefer that, while acknowledging Amazon is another market, probably with minimal overlap. Hardcore builders are not searching Amazon for their parts, and the new generation of "softcore" Jeep owners are probably not pouring over a Quadratec catalog to play dressup with their new Jeep.


Another example might be a competitor they bought out. In Quadratec's case, it looks like they bought out Acme Jeep and Truck parts. Looks like that company had been around since right after WWII, and they still sell on ebay under that name. I once worked for a company that bought a competitor and continued to operate that business under the old name. At times I worked at both business names. I would often have a customer at company A badmouth company B, and vice versa. Always good for a chuckle.
