If I buy a part from you I expect you to take care of any problems.
That's how I thought it was suppose to work too. If FAST doesn't come through I'll be back to Hinson to see if they can stand behind their products.

KMColdcars - This is a discontinued part. If we had the replacements available, we would have done exact what you said. The only option was to go through FAST directly.

Sarge - We left messages and emails with all of our FAST reps, and we got a response about 25 minutes ago that would have allowed us to get the part sent via overnight without all this fuss. We could have saved you this stress if you would have let us continue to serve you. Remember, there is no advantage in the package leaving one hour earlier when they all ride on the same plane.

Lighten up a little here guys. This stuff happens when playing with hot rods. All that you can ask for is to let the company fix it and they did. Kudos to FAST for stepping up.

Let us know if you need more help. We'll be here and obviously FAST is too.

I completely agree with letting the company fix the issue but when the answer I get is "we are waiting hear back from COMP" that doesn't really make me feel all warm and fuzzy that everything is being done to get this taken care of as fast as possible.

It's impossible for me to know you have left vmails and emails without you communicating it. "We're waiting to hear from Comp" doesn't promote any sense of urgency on Hinson's part. And when I can call and talk to someone at FAST (twice) about the issue the perception is that why can't you do that too.

Bottom line I hope it's resolved. I guess I'll see tomorrow.

Spoke with FAST again. Upper Shell is on the dock waiting for FedEx to pickup.

Brian from Hinson just personally called me to assure me that they were doing everything to resolve this and it just wasn't communicated. After talking to him I don't doubt it for a second.

I'll except part of the blame as well for being impatient with Hinson. When FAST said call Hinson and Hinson said they had to call FAST... I think we've all seen that circle of death at one time or another and I didn't have time to watch the end of the movie.

Bottom line is both companies stepped up to resolve this issue and provide the customer service we all expect. I have made several purchases from Hinson and won't hesitate to in the future.

Thanks to Brian and Hinson and Robin at FAST.
