Default Props to Avid RC

i blew a bearing in the rear of my slash 4x4 over the weekend and had none on hand to replace it. sunday night i placed an order for 2 full bearing kits with 2 day shipping so i'd have them by the long weekend. yesterday they informed me there was a shipping error and my order went out usps ground instead of 2-day, apologized for the error and are over-nighting me my complete order so i can have them by my expected delivery date.

in todays market customer service is absolutely critical and having a company fix their error, apologize for it and not make up some excuse is a rare find.

they've earned themselves a new lifetime customer, just by doing the right thing.

I also placed my first order from them recently, and while I had no problems so I could "test" their service, the shipping and communication was great! Even texted me when my order shipped.

Definitely a repeat customer here!

Maybe I'm a victim of some circumstance, but I recently placed an order for some bearings and they sent me the wrong bearings. Then when I tried contacting them (email), I get no response. I've tried several times now, and hear nothing back, and here I am with a buggy I can't drive, and bearings that don't fit. :-/

Hopefully next week will be more productive than this past one.

Give David a chance. He may be out racing somewhere in the middle of nowhere and out of touch. There have been times where it took a few days to hear back from him.
