Hi Tim,
I presented both of your posts to Derek about your starter. His comment was, "tell that whiney bitch to return it & I'll give him a full refund including shipping both ways". " he can buy his parts elsewhere".
We try very hard to please all customers & always give the benefit of the doubt on proper installation & warranty time with our reman starters. Derek would never deny a warranty claim on a starter if he thought there was any question on our part. I've seen him hand them out when he knew the customer burned one up. I really think you let it go way too long for requesting a return.
I'm going to steal a starter from inventory & send it to you at no charge as soon as I receive your return. He's too busy to read this thread & does'nt know how many starters we have. Sorry your still upset about a 100.00 part after all this time, but we will work with you until you're happy.
Thanks, Donna
First - Thank you for supporting the Big Dog Biker forum and providing us with much needed and difficult to find parts.
What you have proposed to Tim is outstanding and commendable. As a business you didn’t “have to” extend the courtesy but you choose to do so – Excellent and a ton of good will to follow. You would think……
In my opinion, your message is truly unprofessional and unwarranted. I usually avoid conflict and controversy in an open forum but I found this offensive and way off the mark. If there was any good that was to come as a result of this, you just lost it. There are quite a few business men on this forum, including myself - I for one don’t agree with your post – sorry. Highlights all the reasons you shouldn’t be posting, business basics….
• One the language
• Every customer is IMPORTANT
• Every dollar is IMPORTANT
• You don’t have to go beyond, if you choose to do so – do it with a smile. If swapping out the starter is the end result, why the pain?
Your business - Your call. Good luck.
