Angry 4 months wait, and Veilside sends the wrong lip...

I ordered a Veilside V1 urethane front lip back in March from Gruppe-S and have been calling them once a month to get updates.

I finally get an email this morning telling me they finally received it, so I drove 60 miles round trip to go pick it up and it turns out to be a fiberglass one...

I'm pissed. They called Veilside and were told the urethane ones are on back order for another couple of weeks. That's what they said in March...

Update: Max from Gruppe-S called Veilside again on my request and explained the mixup hoping we would have priority over all the new orders. They said they actually have some PU lips right now and should be able to ship one tomorrow...

I'll believe it when I see it.

That sucks! I have a nice story similar to this to post about Stillen when I feel up to it. Gruppes are good guys I have done business with them before I'm sure they will do all they can.

Thanks Adam. I got a call from Gruppe-S and this time they checked the lip and swear it is the urethane one. I am picking it up in the next couple of hours. If it is the wrong lip again, I'll let you know.

I just picked it up and it was the correct lip this time.

Gruppe-S had only ordered mine, so they don't have any more. That's probably for the best though because their customer service skills suck. I will never do business with them again.
