Default Tein S-tech on BACKORDER!

I ordered a set a month ago and i got it in 3 days. I opened the box to inspect it and a piece a paint of chipped off from shipping (hole in the box) so i brought it back and they said they would get me another set. it's been 3 weeks now and they told me they won't be able to get me another set until mid-feb cause it's all on back-order tein has to wait until the next shipment from JAPAN! i should get the first batch since tein's headquarter's is not to far from the store i bought it at... hopefully... THIS SUCKS!!! first wait i had to wait for the car... now i have to wait for the springs...

Why would you send them back for a paint chip? They are springs, its not like you see them everyday. Besides, after a little use they will have their own chips in them... Unless they were damaged enought to comprimise funtionality, I would have kept them.

no no no not just a scratch it's like a chunk that chipped off... and these things rust real fast when it's bare... and springs do not usually get chips from normal wear and tear.. the powder coat is really strong... would you complain if there was a paint chip when u bought ur car? even if it was a small one?

you had originally said paint chip, so thats what everyone went by..you changed your story so yea, and if there were paint chips on your car would be different than having paint chips on your springs, no one would even see it (plus springs dont need to be pretty)
