Evan,
You might know that things work different over there and I know this also, As I have spent a lot of time over there. They are wanting to change the minimum order amount. I got a couple of 30cc cowls in and yours will be going out this week.
It is getting hard to deal with them as they want to go from 10 to 50pcs. For ME, a small pop shop, disabled vet. it gets into money! I order parts for people and do not ask for money up front, Maybe I should change that??? They have also raised the oleo struts from 5 to 50pcs. This is hard for me to do as its, Again... Only ME. If you wish to cut me up, that is your right... But, I have been trying and bending over backwards to help EVERY customer I have or had. I was gone to Toledo for a couple weeks as it took some time for me to get back as I have to have someone drive for me. I am sorry you feel the way you do towards me, All I can do is try and do my best for you and every other customer UNTIL they are happy! That's all I try to do..

If he is having problems with the manufacturer that sounds bad for us the distributors customers. Things are done a bit differently in China manufacturing. A couple pages back I asked Gerry point blank not to promise if he can't deliver. This was after he said he shipped a new cowl then came back two weeks later after I said I never got it and said he had to order it... Since it flys I'd like it to look nice.
