Default I am so pissed at ATI

I got my blower back on tues at cartek, but the upgrade wasnt done. So i call ATI and tell them I need it to race on saturday. Ao because of their mistake I send it overnight to them , they get it and are sending it back to me by tomorrow. But James the manager WILL NOT credit me for my overnight fee that I have because of their F#CK up. This is total bullshit and I hope he realizes the letter he will be getting from my office. If they werent the best blower in the world I would be out, there products are great, there service in terms of tech , like matt and dave ad brian are great but James just F%cked me. <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

Um... Just for the sake of perspective, ATI made the mistake, according to your account, but they didn't require immediate turn-around. They could have helped you out, but really, they weren't obligated.

You DO have a point. But it's not one that is definitive, since they have a written limited waranty, and they define the level of customer service.

Your time requirements are tight, but they are your time requirements, and ATI is giving the service they stipulated.

I feel bad for you, but I don't see that ATI is lacking in good faith here.

scott ws6, I empathize with your position, and to not be jumped on by certain others because of my "bias", I did not initially reply. But, I have to agree with him on this.

The most I've seen most companies think they may be responsible for because of their mistake is a "two-day" shipment. To get it any quicker, I usually had to pick up the extra for "next day".

Ironically, Golden West Performance is the only supplier in recent memory that I've had overnight me anything at their expense.

It IS a bummer they made such a goof. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />
But, I'm glad you got it finally.

I agree, But i just thought since they gave me a 2 week wait for the blower and if it came back on time done i would be racing this weekend. Dont get me wrong, I mean I talked to jason and he even called, so im glad they got it back out to me that quickly, and hopefully next week ill bring it to cartek and get it tuned. Just cant wait to get racing again...lol

thanks for letting me vent guys.. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
