SiNs and me.........

[Major Ho]

Poor Army...
I know you are already with doing business with them but do you think you can get a hold of them in somehow(I know you said it was hard for you to get in touch) and have the fix it?

If that doesnt work lets go raid Canada and blow them up with one of your tanks?

Army,
I just wanted to point out that I have never seen anyone post anything bad about SiN before. Why did all these people wait so long to tell us he has questionable business practices?

I remember someone telling us his all flaked off from improper temperature treatment. And Sin offered to redo it but he had to pay shipping back and forth again. He was very reluctant to tell us the name at first too. Can't remember who it was. But it has been reported.

for anyone interested, this is why you wont get back a quick reply --

I know very few of you will actually care but I haven't really gotten
away since the summer of 96. As I reflect back on that I only now begin
to realize that was 5 years ago. I'm long overdo. This Friday I will be
taking off for BC and I will not be back until the 23rd. PLEASE do not
email us unless it is utterly important for you, and please realize you
may not receive a reply back until the 25th or so depending on how
backed up we get. We still will be able to receive packages as it's only
me thats leaving but only those we've arranged for. Unless you've been
otherwise told, DO NOT send in. I'm hoping all of you can help spread
the word of this to those not on our mailing lists, if you can get that
out on the boards and whenever anybody asks where we've gone it would be
greatly appreciated.

There will be an end of summer SiN newsletter subscribers exclusive sale
when I get back.

Paint em all and let god sort em out.

Yeah, i hate canada, they are the ones who made the damn heacy peices of steal i had to carry all day yesturday. I'm already plotting my revenge, i'm going to round up all the canadians and force them to hold a 150 pound peice of steal over their head for 8 hours

That really sux army. Will u be posting pics?I have seen alot of attempts at colors for mags, and the only ones worth anything are anno jobs. Paint scratches off because you really cant truely bake the finish on since the body could be damaged. Powdercoating has an issue with clearance also. A friend got a nice blue powderjob done on his minimag and we spent a night burning off the coating under the bodyrail because it screwed up the clearance for the sear and on/off pin...

post some pics so we can see the hell you are going thru...

Army, you have very good reason to be upset, and Eric should not have sent you such shoddy work. I read the post last night and remembered hearing that SiN was going on vacation. My only thought was that he may have rushed your job out the door before leaving...bad call on his part obviously.
This whole "Canada sucks" thing is pretty ridiculous though. There are awful manufacturers in this country as well, and you guys need to get off your pedestal when it comes to being American.
If there are issues with someone doing bad work in our own country, no one takes the time to insult our own nation. Don't take this as an opportunity to bash our neighbors, just leave it as a business/customer relationship complaint.
'nuff said.

Dalum from PBC worked with Triple M customs, out of La Porte, IN.

My neck of the woods.

I've met almost all the triple M affiliates, seen some good work from them (although their personal taste leaves... eh. to each their own .

There is also a local guy named mark who used to be affiliated but is no longer that does plating and right now type III anno, but that doesn't help you.

Best bet from my standpoint is getting ahold of triple M.

Just got Email from SiNs...

...in it's entirety: Sorry about the other reply I got your first email just now.
Your particular order was not handled by me, like I said before I'm on
vacation though, and I cannot get to all my files to figure out who managed
your order. However I will say I WON'T be happy with this until you are. Now
the mailing thing was abnormal and I'm sure it was a pain to have such a
delay but you cannot blame that on us. The work though, I can do something
about, I would like to redo your gun MYSELF, and oversee it all the way
through to make sure it is a perfect finish. I will cover shipping of
course. I realize this must be dissapointing to you and I apologize for the
troubles so I'm hoping you'll let me make it up to you, if at all possible.

Let me know
Eric McBain


Hmmm......From what I can glean, Eric never worked on my gun at all, even though he sent me this:Subject: Re: My gun


Just wanted to update you, your gun was going to go out today but I noticed a slight discolouring on some of the parts so I'm redoing 3, hopefully get everything out to you by Wednesday, sorry for the delays.

That was the last I heard from him until today. I can't imagine anyone letting a pure amateur operate his customizing business, and put his name to the work. My wife will bring the digi-cam home tonight, and I'll get some shots posted. Hopefully I'll be able to focus on the "finger-painting".

Now I'm in a dilemma; do I send it back to him to give him a chance to redeem his reputation, or just chalk up my loss to lifes lessons learned?

Got Elves?

[magman007]

let him redeem him self and if it isnt good army, we will all write threatining letters to him!

you ever notice how elves do everyting???

i would give it a second chance. it is free so take advantage of it.

i just don't like the idea of letting his employees do the job for him and messing up. i thought they were a better company than that. if eric is away, the company should be down. that or they have to find sombody that knows what they are doing.

[Whisky]

I thing you should send it back, you`ve already paid for the job, so if he does it again free of charge and shipping, you have a chance to get what you paid for.
