TSW bad customer relations

5 posts by 5 people · 04 Jun 1997 - 05 Jun 1997

I want everyone to know about the TSW crap. I ordered a wheel the first week of march. They cashed my check march 8th. I was told I would get one of the last wheels in the batch if I got my check there. I did, and I didn't get it. Ok, that's life someone else got their check there first. Then I was told the new batch of wheels would start shipping mid april. I waited and waited and waited, NO wheel. I emailed. Then I was told I would have it in 2 weeks. I waited for 3 weeks e-mailed again. Then I was told some BS story about how some guy got 3 shipped to him and I would have my wheel shipped out tuesday may 27th UPS 2day. That would be thursday, I waited until friday night. I e-mailed again. Now I'm a complainer says Trevor Thomas. What really set me off was that guys that ordered a wheel in April GOT theirs in April!!!. I wouldn't have minded if Trevor would have just said that it would take until June to get my wheel. The constant lying is what got to me. Always being told I would get my wheel and it never coming. If you can't deliver on your promised DON'T MAKE THEM!!!! I just want to say that I've NEVER been yanked around by a company like this before. I think it's bad customer relations and I hope none of you other TSW orderies don't get treated like I did.

Sean, Thanks for the info. My shifter just shit the bed on my T2 (Im a shifting fool I shift at all tracks except dega, dover, MIS, Atl, Bris) and I was just just about to order one of these TSW things. Im working on a complete driving simulator that is better and cheaper than the ECCI unit but its still on the cad machine so I need a wheel and I was going to order this TSW. But after reading your tale I doubt I will. I dont know why people in sales always seem to want to make things, like delivery, sound just a little bit better than it actualy is. I'm with you if its June say June dont promise March! Guess I'll either go with "field mod" #3 on the old T2 or just buy another one to hold me over! Disapointing too becasue from what I hear they are a very good unit. But if you cant get one I guess It doesnt matter how good it is. Take care and quit "complaining" <g>

Just get you an ECCI.IT may be expensive but it doesn't break and it get's here when they say it will.I've had mine about a year now and with a ton of heavy use Ihave had zero problems.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I had a completely different experience with Trevor and Thomas Enterprises, obviously a very positive one, since I've recommended the TSW to a lot of people. One comment, and perhaps Trevor isn't aware of this, but I'm pretty sure that there's a federal law that requires the seller to ship product within 6 weeks of receiving payment or they must receive explicit permission from the customer to continue holding the money. Usually this is in the form of a postcard you return to tell them you still want the product. I think Trevor does has some problems to iron out in terms of customer relations. However, I think his product is worth every penny and well worth the wait. They are moving into larger quarters soon, and plan to expand their manufacturing capability to meet the demand. Just one of the risks in a small business when the product demand exceeds your production capability.
