I'm lost too.. This is not ups . Did they open the wheels and scratch the chrome? Did they open the wheels and drag them across the concrete? Did they open the wheels and leave a god awful spray on the finish? Did they open the wheels try to fix the finish and fail? Did they package the wheels horribly so they can be damaged during shipping? Seriously a ups issue??

If it was UPS I believe it. They suck!!!!! I've ordered lots of part in the last few months and every(luckily very few) UPS box came beat to hell. Every FedEx box.... Perfect!! I've notice that with UPS that our packages makes about half a dozen stops or more. Thus causing it to go threw many abusive non caring workers. With FedEx they never make stops. Always seems to be a straight shot.

That damage has got to have happened outside of the box. Whether on the shipping end, or the receiving end, we can't say for sure.

I agree. UPS has a horrible track record with me and my family business. Fedex has been almost perfect.

and I've had the exact opposite experience. Z1 sent me some Stillen intakes to powdercoat last week, and even though I was home, working in the garage and making a lot of noise, fedex left a noone at home signature required sticker on my door and didn't deliver. They do that all the time to me.

I've dealt with the delivery crap with both companies. It's more driver dependent than anything else. I had a "driver could not gain access to apartment building" notation left online, when I didn't even live in an apartment...

See... I never understood this. Fed Ex claims you have to sign for anything worth over $500. Everything I order is over $500. But no one is ever here and they still leave it. Thank God.

From what ive read,Chris admits it damaged due to poor packaging the first time. Second time, it's unclear.

The first time was not due to packaging. It was a finish issue..

NeverBoneStck · 03-15-2011, 11:09 AM

Remember Chris I am not throwing u under the bus. This has to do with forged specialties and they should of ate the shipping . Not you. U act like u r forged specialties.

Chris_1 · 03-15-2011, 11:18 AM

I am not going to argue back and forth and you are convinced since you had someone talk bad about the company that you didnt want the wheels. Why would we drag wheels across the floor?
And honestly by your comments, sure sounds like your throwing me under the bus contradicting everything I am saying. You want to stick to what you believe happened, so frankly what can I do about that. LIke I told you on the phone at 2 AM, yes guys 2 am I answered my phone to address the issue. The owner will contact you and resolve it, he never left anyone hanging from what ive seen so I am sure he will get it done.

This I am sorry, is not a public issue, and if you wanted it resolved this is the wrong way to go about it. I have been helping you as well as the company, problems have happened and you go on a forum and bash me? I doubt I will post anymore in this thread, b/c this is a private issue that we can either fix or we can talk about it on these forums and look at the damaged wheels.

RCZ · 03-15-2011, 11:24 AM

And this is how companies get a bad rep. So first its bad finish and then poor packaging that I assume was done at Forged Specialties. I understand why Chris is upset, its not necessarily his fault, but I'm sure he's getting some heat because he is the one pushing this product in the end. They look bad and he looks bad for selling them.

What's with the trend of wheel startups that turn to shitty quality?

BTW....are those nuts and bolts holding your wheels together??

Chris_1 · 03-15-2011, 11:33 AM

Rcz, honestly I am just upset that all this does is make a company look bad. I mean its not like I ignored you. The quality on the wheels is great, ask jeff per say, or zzz370. If their is an issue I understand it, but its an issue between the company and the customer, not the world.

Instead of trying to fix this now, I have to continually come on here and defend myself and the company b/c an issue occurs. Their are lots of wheel companies out there that have had issues, but they were resolved with the customer and I hope never taken lightly. I am a firm believer that problems can occur, but as long as they are resolved thats what matters.
