$2265.00 total monies paid to Tbyrne
+ 3 sets of inferior, or wrong, headers shipped to me
+time wasted waiting for the right set to be sent
+STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND
=Never shopping with them again. That's all.

Just so you know, a while back (a year) I ordered a set of Eradispeeds on a Thursday from LAPD. They told me at the latest it would be the following Thursday. Well it took a little more than tree weeks and to say I was upset at Lapd was an understatement. I finally called and talked to Baer and they told me there was a back order and would be shipped out soon. On a normal occasion it shouldn't of taken that long, and Lapd should of found that out for me. Either way, it ended up being Baer's fault for a backorder and Lapd's fault for bad communication. In the end, everything worked out well.

I've dealt with them several times. When a lady who's name I can't remember, Linda or Julie maybe, used to work there. I only dealt with her, and she always gave me good prices and great service. The last time I called them up, they told me she didn't work there anymore. So I tried to deal with another lady there. They part I wanted had a lower price through Summit Racing. So I asked them to match the price, hence their Price Match Policy. I even emailed the link to the website with the price and everything. Well they didn't match it, they came close. But close isn't "matching the price". So I ordered it from Summit & haven't tried to deal with them since.
i have heard the above more than thrice and so many other problems with TBYRNE. Its sad that this forum's owners could careless about how the members are treated by various vendors and only care that they receive their vendor fee's on time. I have seen it one too many times.

I joined a group purchase on Borla Stingers a couple of years ago on the last day of the "special". The next day they sent me an email that my exhaust would arrive in a few weeks. I called immediately to cancel as I wanted the exhaust before "a few weeks". I had to pay $60.00 to cancel the order. Now that's customer service!

Anouther vender selling parts thay do not have. What thay have is your money.
In my business, if I do not have something to give you I do not take your money.
Good luck.

It's called "CUSTOMER SERVICE" If anyone sells a product and they use this terminology they have a responsibility to provide that courtesy to each and every customer. The only excuse for poor communication, lack of follow through, is the fault of the company/vendor or even the individual who sells a product on this forum. The wrong person in a very important job!
Unfortunately we don't always hear about great customer service but if someone gets bad service they make it a point to share that information.
This should be incentive enough for companies/vendors/people who want to sell their product, and for the good ones who care and have the right people doing that customer service job it is. If more companies would remember the old adage: "The Customer is Always Right" we wouldn't have the attitude that, if he doesn't buy it someone else will.
I hope that the vendors or people selling products will read this thread and realize that folks talk about "bad service" more than "good" and there probably is more than one who have read this thread and will take their business elsewhere..........I know I will.

They still make Eradispeeds. In fact, they make more models for C5s than are shown on that website, or in the Baer catalog for that matter.
I believe the Decela is a lower-grade rotor from Baer.
Call Baer and ask for tech support. I just did that a week or so ago. Very nice and knowledgeable guy. At least find out the truth from the horse's mouth.
Tbyrne? I couldn't get them to respond to email for a quote on Baers. Perhaps just as well.

So perhaps its just Baer rotors that are frequently on back order. In any case I would hope the vendor would at least email or call you to let you know about this and also not charge the card until they arrive or at least only take a smaller deposit fee.

I have attempted to order from the "said" vendor a few times with "poopy" results and poor excuses. I really try and give the benefit of the doubt on most cases, but I have seen more threads on this vendor and Ecklers and I really think it is horrible to continue to see this.
I know they always run deals on products in the PARTS Section, but seriously, are they taking the money and then letting you "THE CUSTOMER" put up with the delay, back orders and other excuses with no follow-ups to keep the "PAYING" customer up to date on their "PAID" orders. That is not CUSTOMER SERVICE, it is ! If you are doing a GP on a set of, let's say, "BORLA STINGERS" that will be dropped shipped, then you as the VENDOR should make sure that BORLA is ready to do just that, handle a large amount of orders to provide good service in a timely manner, and "I" as a customer should not have to make numerous calls about my order to the shipper, no I can handle making one call a week or two later asking about the status and it should be, "Sir, we phoned them and it is on the way." not, "Sir, I am not sure, I can give you the shippers' number and your order number to call and check on."
I don't think it was wrong to hangup, why would it be wrong? The comment about burning a bridge that you may have to cross again...Hmmm, are they the only vendor that sells products? Nope, I can go to someone else and that is the beautiful thing about this, business can be done elsewhere.
Sorry this happened, go some place else and don't bother with them any more.
