Cannondale Parts Delivery Stinks
Yea I know YOU got great service from this or that person.Well so have I but it is not consistent.I dont think its unreasonable to expect delivery of parts within a month.Well lately it seems that every single one of our great parts suppliers have failed that goal and/or given incomplete or inaccurate deliveries.Not only that but some of the private sellers stink also.Cripes we are a small group what the heck.Return phone calls.If incomplete or late delivery call and explain.Thankfully I have that P.O.S. YFZ to ride or I might do something drastic like others who are sick of the waiting game and sell it all.This is meant for ALL the sponsors here and any private sellers who are messing around also.Do a better job please cause it is costing you customers who have no choice but to sell out or suck it up and hope for best next time.Not right.

Thats the problem with some of the sponsors on here. its ether they want to sell their stuff or not? .The cannondale is a dieing breed.The only reason i keep mine because its different.I don't have a problem going buying a new suzuki.I would think they would push to sell their items,Since the market is so small compared to other brands.

Rubicon call Craig at hardcore we talked to him at indy and chuck convinced him to make a few more sets.I would imagine that it's on the back burner but if more people call them they will get the hint that they are wanted.

GUILTY as CHARGED! For me anyway. Yep, while chasing so many projects and serving new customers, I totally slid on a promise to C27, and have left him hanging and waiting on a few items -- not right. All comments noted, deserved, and thanks for the tune-up.

Well, it's a good thing that C-27 doesn't have any problems with the service from Blackwidow! Because I'm sure that if he did, he would address his complaints directly with our company. Instead of doing the immature thing and coming out and making public postings that condemn ALL Cannondale vendors - without mentioning any specific problems.

Decided to repost this since some thought it was unfair for me to have posted it to begin with.Give me a break I dare you who think I am just whining to find one other instance where I have gone to any lengths to make this issue known?I have valid complaint and sooner customers of the vendors here start expecting service the better.When a product is ordered and promised the vendor is not doing you a favor by delivering.It is his job and you the customer are the boss.That said I believe I have been taken care of by the sponsors I mentioned.The private party is a no show.And the folks I know who have been dealt with badly are selling out or going somewhere else.I like to give chances to folks I like.Not going anywhere.
