Default TSP Woes

So, I was at the track back in June of 2019, and the throttle body return spring on my PTM92 broke at WOT on the big end of a quarter mile pass. I almost went into the sand trap and had to pull seat leather out of my crack, but saved it. Went home, called TSP, and immediately placed an order for another spring, after seeing on the forums that it was a relatively common issue... Figured I'd have it fixed in a week or two, and enjoy the car until I deployed a few months later.


Two years, a deployment, and a pandemic later, and I STILL don't have my $25 spring... Thanks, TSP! 🙄

After the FIRST four-ish months of calling every week trying to get the car back on the road, I left for deployment, thinking "oh well, at least it'll show up when I'm gone!" Man, guess I was wrong... I just called to get an update, see if maybe I could finally get another janky spring shipped out so I could actually see the car move under its own power this summer... NOPE. "Oh, this order was voided, at the end of September of that year!/Well, we only ever charged a dollar, anyway"

Well:
1) I got curious and PULLED UP my bank statements, and there's a transaction for TSP on there for the amount of the invoice (including the ridiculous $10.55 shipping) 🤷‍♂️

2) Almost four months from the time it was ordered until it was "voided", without sending out the part? At what point do you just snag a spring off of a stocked unit to send out, and replace it when the spring you "ordered" comes in?

3) kinda funny it got "voided" on the date it was, considering I was 4,000 miles away at the time, sooo... Who did that?

I mean, at this point, it's just comical... Do a $6,000 build through a company, have the throttle body spring break 2 years later after less than 4,000 miles, pay $25 for a 30 cent part that shouldn't have even broke and is a known issue, then never receive it.



Anybody got a 92mm TB they wanna sell, since I evidently can't get ahold of a spring to fix mine?
