Where we left the conversation was that I would ship you a new one and if the other one came in the meantime than I would just send a call tag for it.

I did just that and it will be arriving tomorrow, Friday, 4/22.

Ok cool thanks. I was hoping to do the suspension upgrades this weekend so just in time...

I still never got the other one so I assume it's gone. Thanks!

Gene,

Well the spring arrived but GM didn't take any care to wrap the bolts on the end so I'm missing one. Can you please ship me out the 2nd bolt ASAP?

Which bolt are you referring to? Can you use one off the old spring for the time being?

Please, contact me directly so we can get this handled a bit quicker.

Gene,

I'm not sure if I can use the bolt off the old spring. I haven't begun swapping components yet. But I do plan on doing that early next week.

The one spring has two screw in bolt holes and there is the one bolt that was in the one side and not one in the other. So I just need one of those.

Gene,

What's the status on my bolt? Did you get one sent out yet? As I stated in my previous post on that part number if you look it up in your system there is only one type of bolt that comes with the springs so I just need one more as it was lost during shipping. Please confirm once this has been resolved so I can cross it off my list.

Gene,

2 days later still waiting for my bolt and haven't even heard anything from you... Apparently you're having similar shipping problems with another customer on here too so I'm not alone.

Gene,

I am becoming impatient and this will be my last attempt at trying to contact you as this will be my 4th attempt in 5 days. If you wish to take no further action to rectify the situation I will have no choice but to place a partial chargeback on my card because my order has arrived INCOMPLETE. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the cost of replacing the bolt but I care about the principal of this and others need to be aware of this situation. I appreciate you sending out another spring when you apparently claim UPS has lost it so I would have expected you to take care of this minor infraction as well, but so far I see no reason to expect that.

Please advise by tomorrow or I will go to an alternative method.

First, I have asked you to contact me directly several times. I don't know what I need to do to get you to contact me?

After much work, I cannot purchase the bolt separately. If this is not working and you cannot use the old one I will send you a call tag for that one.

Gene

Second, apparently UPS lost it? I can produce a tracking number and a copy of the credit GM gave me on it already because UPS lost it!!

I'm contacting here.. this I figure is good enough. Send me a call tag? For my spring? That's your solution?? And I take it you mean SENDING me a replacement spring then, right? Because I know you can't mean just sending this spring back for credit because my order arrived incomplete as that would just be throwing any any chance of reconciliation your company has with me. Please clarify.

Moron? Are you really that ignorant that you have to result to personal insults in a situation that doesn't even involve you? So sorry if I offended you and made you get up off of your porcelain throne.
