Yet another delay for my build - AWESOME

This person had NO CLUE about how to pack coil overs for a shipment across the country.

AllBlkdOut07 · March 30, 2012

Whomever packed this box SHOULD be looking for a new job tomorrow. You do NOT throw heavy aluminum resi clamps into a box loose without at the very least wrapped in bubble wrap or foam, nor do you pack two coilovers side by side without any protection inbetween them with just foam on top bottom and sides.

KING owned up to this and is going to make good on everything with no further out of pocket expenses for me. They're even going to give me a deep discount on some matching anodized rear shocks. So hopefully it all works out. It's a shame because now I will miss an upcoming show.

That sucks! Thanks for the preview, those will look awesome.

AllBlkdOut07 · March 30, 2012

Thanks, yeah they would've looked really good. Here is a shot of the one that had less damage.

Words can't describe how upset I would be. Hope it all works out well in a timely fashon.

I would be hot... especially for the price of those. Would definatly lead to a night of heavy consumption.

AllBlkdOut07 · March 30, 2012

Haha thanks guys. Yeah, the only setback now will be time lost.

Are they making you ship those back before they ship out the new ones?

AllBlkdOut07 · March 30, 2012

Yeah there are salvageable parts on these they can reuse on the new ones.

berteras · March 30, 2012

Yeah, that figures

Yeah I'd be super hot. Hopefully the shipping guy gets some retraining. I'd give them an ear full for the color too. Make them send you a set in a better color too. Nah, I'm just kidding, but your title is all black or nothing and I think black ones would look better.

The color is PERFECT. It was time for me to break out of the all black mold.

Thats cool man.

Well, got my coilovers back several weeks ago and the ano didn't match, allegedly they ran out of 6061 and used 7075 for the damaged parts. According to KING 6061 and 7075 anodize differently. I kept the one coil over since the discoloration is on the top mount and shaft, they're far apart, hoping it won't be as noticeable. Sending back the one to have those two darker pieces redone since they're right next to each other, it's obviously quite noticeable.

Sent this one back

Kept this one, hoping it won't as noticeable once it's bolted up in place

Apparently these guys do not have a fine eye for detail. I understand their business sense and they can't continue to lose their ass but come on! If I owned a business there is no way I would let a product be sent out with two different shades of color, especially after the first total screw up.

I hope they realize that word travels a long way with sales. When people point this out on your truck, and you tell them the whole story, the first thing they will say is "well I'm not going there for anything".

My uncle has a full blown show truck, 2004 SIlverado HD with a 7" BDS, 37's, powdercoated and chromed everywhere, so I know how you feel when things don't come back perfect. I help him with the truck and at shows, I know how easy it is to dock a point and lose best of show, just because somebody didn't come through 100% on what you paid hard earned money for.

Sorry, I can just relate with your situation. Chrome guys took 4 months to do torsion bars, skid plates, and tow hooks on my uncle's rig, they screwed up and decided to not tell him. We missed 3 shows and his favorite one in Lima, Ohio.
