Since Mr. big Mouth (Guy Castro) LOL!
above spilled the beans let me explain. It's not really the money but the principle behind all of this.
SVS called me and said they needed a set of wires for their custom turbo set up. They where having some kind of tuning issue/customer issue (Not sure exactly what since it was not my business). I was told they needed them ASAP. I had to drop some of the other things that I had going on to help out this tuner. It appeared his custom wires where part of the cause of the problem if not the cause for his Viper set up. I got the custom lengths from SVS and went to work on them. I thought it was cool to have another tuner buying from me. I thought this might be a good time to get another honest review. If he didn't like them then he could throw them out and no harm no foul. I asked if he approved my wires to say something good about them and I would do this as a complimentary service whether I got a good review or bad review. Just wanted an honest review. So I was taking a chance of getting a bad review since I was not familiar with his set up he had on his viper. I was told he needed the wires ASAP and to have them over nighted to him. I said he would have to pick up the over night cost since I am a small operations and can't afford to take too much of a hit. He agreed. Shipping charge was $45...not a whole heck of allot of money but the time spent making them and getting them right was some money. I never got the shipping fees and asked a few times but no response was received. I decided to drop it and take it on the chin and chalk it up to me not being careful.
Fast-forward about a year later...I get notified that these wires are on ebay being sold with his coil over plug system. I emailed Ron and asked if I could close out my ticket. He replied back to me that I said I would cover the fees. I asked to see where I said that. Then he comes back to me and says scan in the UPS bill and show me proof. I replied back to him to keep the wires and enjoy them. End of story. I was really irked that I had to prove to him that I was telling the truth after all I did for him and even if he did pay me I am still in the hole, but that is okay I agreed to that route. I was warned about doing business with these guys but I like to give everyone a chance.
I was disappointed that a well known tuner is wanting me to jump through hoops after all I have done for him with a smile. I have never been once taken advantage of by any Viper owner and I am like Chuck Tator..I send stuff out at times BEFORE PAYMENT because i trust the crowd I am in. I still do and won't let this ruin my way I do business. 99.9% of the time I have a good experience with the Viper family. I really don't make allot of money doing this and I try to give back to the community as much as possible to help the business grow for the future. I just don't like it when a man doesn't follow through. I will always follow through even if I take it on the chin!
So that is the story.
