Tim, please just buy from someone else then, we told you we couldnt meet your deadline for a required delivery, we have replied to all emails and I already explained I miss most of the PM's and threads on the forums, the only thing we havent done was called you back one time that we said we would call you, we got back very late and Melissa did email you to let you know that. So please, rather than waste your time, please try to find another product to suit your needs, sorry we couldnt get you a lift in the time frame you needed it in, which was explained to you in previous emails.
Paul.
Paul,
My issue isn't just that. First, Melissa told me that you guys had a bunch of kits at powdercoat and they would be done in a few days. I was more than fine with that. I asked her if she would like me to pay now (so I would be guaranteed one). She said no and that she would call me after she picked them up in a few days. Again, I was fine with that. A few days went by and I heard nothing. I figured I would shoot her an email just to get an update. She emailed me back saying that she did pick them up from powder coat, but would not be able to ship one out that day. She said she could call me when you guys got back on Sunday to get my info and then ship one out on Monday, getting my lift kit to me by Thursday. She said if I was ok with that to email her my phone number and she would call me Sunday. I emailed her back right away with my number, but again, never heard back from her. Not only did I not hear anything Sunday, like stated...but I never heard anything Monday either. I had to email her back on Tuesday. She said she didn't call Sunday because you guys got home late, but I never had a call or email Monday or Tuesday either. After emailing her Tuesday, she replied saying she called me but there was no answer. I never had any missed calls or voicemails. She then told me that UPS had three day shipping to me so I would still get the kit sometime Friday. She emailed me later saying she was trying to get it to the US. She couldn't leave to get it there and was trying to find someone to get it into the US for her. She said she would let me know soon what she figures out. That was Tuesday. After not being updated, I emailed her back at the end of the day Wednesday. (By this time I was more than frustrated) This is the email I just got 30 minutes ago:
Sorry, but with us being in Canada and our couriers ship once or twice a week for us. Once I drop the packages off at the couriers they take it the following day to their warehouse in the US, then it goes to a fedex outlet. It usually takes about 5-8 days to get their package.

So now I would be looking at ANOTHER 5 to 8 days to get my lift kit...IF it actually shipped out today???
Sorry Paul, but you are sugar coating this situation a little bit. I don't usually like to call businesses out on the forum, but this is ridiculous and I don't want other members having to go through the same thing. My first contact with you guys through email was at 5:50 PM on Sunday, September 22nd. Now it is the third of October and you STILL haven't placed my order.
Maybe some other members can chime in. If I am out of line, I apologize. But I think most anyone else who was in my situation would be very dissatisfied by now also. It sucks, because I really wanted one of your kits. They seem to be very well built and most of your past reviews were very good. However, if this is the kind of support you give your customers then that changes things.
Paul (and Melissa), I realize things come up and you can't always meet deadlines...I understand that. However, the part that ticks me off is never updating me when things changed. I ALWAYS had to email you guys in order to get any kind of update. There has been numerous times since my first contact with you that you said you would do something and it never happened.
I would still like to order a lift kit from you guys...IF you can get one out to me in a reasonable amount of time. I am ready to order anytime. Please let me know soon.
Hopefully some other members can chime in with their two cents.
