Hello, I have not gotten any PM/email from you, but I think I found your order based on the RC Xhaust your mentioned and your posted location. I think you are the one from Nov 22nd, where we were waiting on the post office to get back to us on the lost claim. I went ahead and called them this morning, and we are shipping another one out and it should be there by Thursday, Friday the latest. This one will go FedEx/UPS express for you. If the first one shows up, just let us know and we will get you a return label for it.

I appreciate the concern, please let us know if you have any further questions about anything. We will be sure to take care of you in the future with a discount or credit or something.

Thank you

It's not so much how long it is taking, it's the fact they are not communicating what is going on. I've asked for a tracking number three times now and still don't have one.

I do appreciate them coming on here though to try and clear things up.

Guess I am one of the lucky ones. Have ordered a few things from them and always received items fairly quickly without issue. I have also always been able to talk to someone on the phone when needed. (I am old school - will use a phone instead of constant emails).

I am ready to order some progressive mono shocks there - great price, however, I think I will watch this forum for a minute.

Merry Christmas to All!

I have always had great experiences with Frank at DCP as well. I ordered a set of pipes from him a couple of months ago and 4 days later still showed as "entered into system" but no other tracking information. Turns out that UPS (NOT USPS) picked up the package from the manufacturer and that was the last time anyone saw it. Frank promptly shipped me another set of pipes 2 day express but I actually received them the very next day.

FWIW, I would have no trouble using a vendor that visits the forum to try and make something right. I don't need anything right now, but I've bookmarked his site for future use.

This is exactly why I will continue to buy from them...That is customer service. Some of you guys never have been in the "parts" business I have and more often than not a manufacture will screw you more than one time. Like I said in my previous post pick up the damn phone if you want an answer and if you want it fast just break your wallet out. Lastly their prices are hard to beat..on an average part I save at least 15%. And I'm sure they can take a little bashing its just part of business.

We do not show stock on our site for this reason. We have had pretty much every 444 on order since July, and are just now getting stock in to fill our shelves. I apologize if the wait for the backorder was longer than normal, or even a joke, but we could not control it. Trust me, we want to get you the parts, it is just a matter of obtaining them from the manufacturers.

If you would like to send me you info, I can give you a call or email you and take care of you for the future. We strive to make everyone happy and would love the opportunity to keep you as a customer.

Thank you
Well boys, it doesn't get any better than this. Anyone in the service industry can have an issue that can negatively impact a customer, but to come on this forum to try and make it right is as much as anyone can ask. And yes, as a Forum Sponsor, I think they are entitled to a little slack, especially when it's clear they are trying to do the right thing.
