I respectfully disagree.
There is nothing wrong with calling out a vendor for shoddy service or
parts. As a matter of fact it is a service to the whole community.
I've been saved many a dollar in the Italian car world from both brick
and mortar and Fleabay stores from these types of warnings. Deal with
the company first then tell your story. Not a thing wrong with that.
Mark can of course do what he wishes since it is his list, but I for one
would find this list far less worth while without peoples real world
experiences.
Now in the case of TRF I've had refunds take way to long also. As a
matter of fact, this email string prompted me to call TRF about a refund
I hadn't seen yet! One thing the guys at TRF did tell me; if you tell
them (or even hint I assume) you will be placing another order soon they
will hold off and apply the refund to the next order. And on the up
side I find most of their parts to be the closest to original as possible.
Oh, and in this economy I seriously doubt any supplier would be happy
losing customers. Just look at Victoria British's parent company.
