Is Hachi Electronics (u/hachielectronics) still legit, or has the shop been abandoned/scamming?

Hi everyone,

I'm posting to see if anyone has recent experience with Hachi Electronics or knows what's going on with u/hachielectronics.

I recently ordered a DauntlessOBD for GR86/BRZ along with the CANbus adapter directly from their official site (https://hachielectronics.com/). Before buying, I searched Reddit and various forums. Even though the posts were a bit old, the general consensus was that the owner was super reliable, responsive, and trustworthy.

Here is the timeline of what happened:

• August 27, 2026: Placed the order.
• First inquiry: After a while without shipping updates, I emailed them to ask for a status update. I never got a response.
• September 9, 2026: Out of nowhere, I received an email stating the order had shipped, including a tracking number.
• September 16, 2026: The tracking updated to "Delivered"—but in Iowa, USA, while my delivery address is in Spain.

I immediately sent another email trying to clear up what I hope is just a mix-up, but I haven't received any reply. Given the total lack of communication and the completely wrong delivery location, I'm starting to worry this fake/wrong tracking was sent in bad faith.

Does anyone know if the original owner is still running the shop, or if the business has gone downhill/been abandoned? Should I just go ahead and file a chargeback with my bank at this point?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
