I was wondering how long it would take for Mike or Sam to see this and put it to rest.

Mike@GTM:

I am impressed with the way you handled the wording in your post. There are some others (vendors) that would have been a bit more extreme!

GTM FTW. Sounds like the OP can't listen. We already know that can't type.

Red__Zed · 03-06-2012, 06:46 PM

It sounds like english isn't his first language. The whole thing probably stems from not being able to understand what the guys at GTM were saying....not to mention I'd be pretty surprised to find a shop that would rather ship products rather than allow someone to pick them up.

Maybe ease up with piling on the guy. PowerAXEL isn't well known here, but they are pretty reputable amongst the genesis crowd...

Especially given how liberally harassment is interpreted here...probably wise to back off...

If you DO NOT agree with what someone posted, simply reply in simple words why you don't agree or report the post to me (AK370Z). DO NOT harass or attack another member. Failure to do so will earn you a little time off our forums.

The OP isn't the person we were communicating with. We were talking to Miguel, who doesn't have the slightest foreign accent.

As far as how we choose to conduct our business, we used to be in a different facility with a cash register, showroom, etc. We've moved away from that business model and mainly do R&D and manufacturing. We don't even have a sign on our building because we got tired of all the tire kickers wasting our time.

That being said they should of never brought there troubles hear misleading people beacause they misunderstood. IMO harassment and facts are two different things.

not my place to judge what is harassing and what isn't, just offering advice.

I wasn't on the phone or there, so I don't know what was said, or where on the spectrum of truth either version of the story lies...

I have

interest in getting involved in any of the GTM vs shop XYZ threads.

It sounds like something got lost in translation, perhaps between employees of powerAXEL, and through no fault of yours. It is really irrelevant to me. All I care about is making sure the guys that are valuable contributors to the site don't get dragged into the mud-slinging and get punished.

You spelled "AXLE" wrong, unless we're talking about figure skating...

Damn I was mislead by the title alone - until I read what was going on in this thread.

Could have been an easy miscommunication.

Honestly coming on to a Z forum where GTM is highly respected and saying they treat customers badly is not mature.

Edit: this company is just trying step on GTM's toes and negatively influence the forum:
