Boycott stillen! Cattman from now on

So i ordered over 1000 dollars worth of parts from those idiots at stillen. Now they gave me 100 stillen bucks so i ordered an oil cap and a battery tie down. Now a month has gone by an still no parts. so i call and looking for my parts and they tell me "o we thought u wanted to order more parts so we never placed your order". I said no i just wanted the two parts that were covered by my stillen bucks. Now they are telling me my stillen bucks have expired and they cant do anything for me all because they cant understand a simple order for a damn oil cap and battery tie down. So i say screw stillen they are over priced over rated and have a bunch of morons working for them.

1. If you thought they were overpriced, why did you order a THOUSAND DOLLARS in parts from them?

2. How does the Cattman oilcap and battery hold down fit? As well as the Stillen?

I understand you are frustrated, but why did it take you a month to call them to check the status? If I don't receive a shipping comfirmation within a week of ordering anything, I'm on the phone.

You spent $1000, but are went full flame-on because of a silly oil cap and battery tie-down? Your response is disproportionate to the situation.

Bad customer service, sure. But it's a 2-way street. Sounds like you're a bad customer.

However, the lesson learned is a good one: always check with Cattman first.

Ah that stinks! You should have watched your $1000+ purchase like a lion stalking its prey. I mean they should have had made sure your purchase is sent on time and is as accurate as possible!

I am angry for you as well!

i got the all the parts i paid a grand for they gave me "stillen bucks" so i ordered just a couple lil dress up parts. but the damn sales rep told me the order was placed but he never got around to putting it into the comp prob cuz it was paid with "stillen bucks". when i called them looking for it he said they expired last week and since they never put my order in there is nothing they can do for me. like come on two lil pieces of aluminum cost probly 3 bucks to make, and instead of making a customer happy they basically say srry we screwed up too bad deal with it

Disregarding Rush Limbaugh's homophobic analogy...

He's getting some decent quality aftermarket parts, at a premium price. And he's learned a valuable lesson. Flaming because he didn't get his oil cap door-prize isn't worth the effort. Like I said, its disproportionate.

On the flip side of this transaction, some customer Rep at Stillen really screwed up. When a paying customer asks for something out of the give-a-way bin, you give it to them.

All this drama over "free" parts that don't add speed, or lose weight.
