I get problems. It happens. But if you screw your customers over, and are trying to salvage your reputation, maybe its wise to double/tripple check the product you are sending out to make sure its perfect.

There are no words...
That ssuuuccckkksss... I think my head will literally explode if I encounter this same problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I got a bad pressure plate from monster and called them (wasn't their fault) and I literally got one within two days even after i said "please don't rush". And i completely lose my temper when things go wrong and they were still extremely professional. I'm just saying. In businesses where people have to rely on someone else (a machine shop), it can mess up their reputation, and it's not their fault.
But i have a bad *** six puck clutch that my brother (who has never owned stick shift) can drive without chattering. So I give monster a thumbs up

I too played the waiting game. About 3 weeks if I remember correctly.

I won't say I liked it, at all.

But I LOVE my monster
