Al Reed, did it again. Damn. Options

This guy, Al Reed. All I can do is bitch about him.

First, he accepted some wheels and said he'd do work at a particular price. Then, he actually charged that amount! How dare he? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

When the order was changed - he didn't complain. He didn't even charge to change the order for custom work. In fact, he didn't charge up front for the additional labor. He just happily added powdercoating to the wheels. Quality work, no less! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Then, when I get the wheels, he polished them so brightly that I swear I'm going to go blind. I think I can find him liable, maybe. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

To make matters even worse, the work was accomplished EARLY! The packing and shipping was WAY FASTER than I was told about. He shipped without even getting paid for shipping up front. And then... his wife, Diane, had the nerve to treat me nicely on the phone. Aren't vendors supposed to grumble and complain and act as if 914 owners are a waste of their time, because they haggle over the price of a 10 dollar part? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) I was actually told that 4-bolt Fuchs were their favorite wheel to polish because they came out the best. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) I was even given good technical advice on the phone, too. What's the world coming to?


Doing business without getting screwed? As a 914 owner, I'm entitled to get f'd over when I order parts or whatnot!!! How dare he not send me a tube of KY! I don't know what I'm going to do about this... but there must be something I can do.
