I don't understand why you can't call your anodizer right now and get an updated lead time. I'm not ignorant to this whole process - I've run custom parts on a CNC before, finished them, and I know exactly the wait process one has to go through to get a batch of parts anodized, and exactly how costly it is. But I also know that any reputable business you're interacting with can give you a lead time +/- a day, and definitely cut you a break if they know you're in hot water with customers due to something taking so long.

Are they not open on Mondays? Stop playing forum PR person and make some phone calls like you should have been - away on business or not - last week. :ugh2:

I'm not playing forum PR, simply being as honest as possible with you guys.

I understand your frustration,

I am extremely sorry for my lack of communication with you guys this past week.

I can assure you we are not here to take your money, you will get exactly what you ordered. I have been very busy this past week on some other project which took me out of town. However, I'm back now and getting you guys happy is my top priority!

Here's the deal. We had a few GB's end around the same time. Which really killed us on our stock. On top of other issues like our purple not matching with a new batch, and us not being on top of our fulfillment list I made the decision to delay the shipment of our 370 kits for one week so we can confirm we were shipping all pieces needed in the kit. We even had a local customer with a 370 stop by and we did a test fit on his car. We corrected the mistakes with the fulfillment list.

So, now I was expecting the 370 kits to be shipped (last week) while I was out of town most of the week. I get back yesterday and find out since we had 3 GB's end last week and the week before, we are super low on everything now (poor planning on my part, no excuses). So we have shipped 1 370Z kit before we realized out fulfillment list was incorrect. We even overnighted him the remaining pieces plus the our Strut Tower Kit for the 370z to test out at no charge.

I understand everyone being upset at the situation I am to! I don't like being unable to deliver our products in a timely manner. I assure you we will make sure everyone is happy.

So here are my thoughts:

I can refund your shipping costs
OR
I can offer you a discount on our 370z Strut Tower Bar Kit (Includes the 4 Bolts and 2 Nuts for the STB).

If you guys want the STB Kit, I will make sure it ships with your Engine Bay Kit.

Again, I apologize for the delay! We will make sure everyone gets exactly what they ordered. We are a small business, and customer service is extremely important to us. As is providing a quality product in a timely manner. We dropped the ball on this one guys, and I apologize for that.

Thanks,

-Chris Bishop

(3) - So, refudning my shipping cost would be the obvious choice for me since I'm worried about my money in the first place...I'd certainly not send MORE.

Door number THREE (3), please...Thanks.

I'd like to hear an update on the purple kits sometime before the 6th when we were promised they'd ship. Hopefully they're going to be ready sooner.

I will send your kit however you would like. If you want me to overnight it to you I will.

Also, I keep checking the tracking number I have, and I'm pretty sure these will ship late Monday/Tuesday morning.

Hey everyone, I met Chris today at Ztoberfest in Richmond, VA! He does exist and is a real human!! :eek:

But seriously, he brought me my kit and delivered it in person just as promised. These things look pretty awesome! I'll be holding off on installing mine until my hood issues are cleared up. Let's just say the aftermarket hood I chose.....I shouldn't have. :ugh2: I just wanted to reassure anyone who hasn't rec'd their set yet to be patient.....Chris will come through. :tup:

Photos of the kit can be taken....if anyone wants to see them. Just let me know. :)

Ok!

All of the kits have been packaged, shipped, and install instructions e-mailed!

***I included the STB Kit free of charge to everyone who ordered the Titanium Series Kits.***

Once again, I want to thank you guys for being patient with us, I know it wasn't the best first impression. We are here to stay and if you guys need anything else please don't hesitate to ask. If anyone has questions during installation, shoot us an e-mail and we'll get back with you asap: sales@dressupbolts.com

Thanks!

Chris, I apologize for being a little harsh and critical on you in this thread, but I want to say that you've come through admirably on this group buy. Thank you for the freebie, and I look forward to doing business with you again in the future - hopefully very soon!

Did you email instructions to the email addresses on file with PayPal? I see my tracking number but no instructions. Just wondering.

Lucky you. Mine were supposedly mailed, let's see, this makes the 9th day ago...should have been mailed on Tuesday last week and Wednesday today and still nothing...:shakes head:

That's no good. Is there some kind of delay on the SS bolts? Did you get a tracking # from PayPal? I did, and mine definitely shipped when Chris said they did.

Maybe yours actually haven't gone out yet. Or maybe USPS lost them :(

Originally Posted by Slynky (Post 754207)

According to the message, there was never any backup on the SS bolts and I should never have had to wait. So he posted a message saying they'd go out that day (Tuesday last week).

I've never received any kind of tracking number. I don't even know who the shipper is, Fedex, UPS, USPS, Pony Express...no clue.

Yea, this is true, I wrote Titanium on your name on my list by mistake.. I'll look into whats going on with your shipment tomorrow when I get into the office. I know for sure I shipped yours. I packaged it myself. :confused:

Also do you have pics where I can see the difference between polished titanium and stainless or do they look the same? You sent me pricing the other day but it was not part of the Group Buy, I think it was just forum discount. Thanks.
