If u just bought the bov, just contact them tomorrow and get it swapped. No big deal, just don't buy from them again.

some people should not be going turbo'd cause they make scandals out of little things. treadstone has had a good rep. never heard anything bad bout them, its possible they could have got a fake batch or something who knows.

That sucks. But I think they got screwed over just as you did. Treadstone has had a history of being a legit company, and I'm sure they wouldn't ruin that by trying to screw someone over. I bet they're getting a lot of calls and they are having to fix all this out of there own pockets. I know it sucks, but give them a chance to explain first, then if they're being stupid, go ***** crazy, but if not, then relax and try to be helpful.

First i would contact greddy directly! Let them know were you bought it.. What you were sent so that they are aware of the situation as well.

Then call treadstone and let them know you have contacted greddy and would like it replaced or your money back!
