I've also been waiting for 2 items to complete a $1300 order. My order was also placed 40+ days ago also. I've called Trick no less than 10 times regarding the order. Very frustrating........if I ran my business that way there's no way I could afford a boat for a toy.....or anything else for that matter! One of the guages that I did receive has a nick in the outer rim which under normal circumstances I would send back but I'm afraid I won't see a new one till who knows when! So much for getting my dash redone before Memorial weekend!

I don't think Fred wants it to be this way. He seems to be a good guy. I know first hand how a small business can tail spin. Especially if the employees stink.I'm sure he will make it right. Unfortunatelly that doesn't take the sting out of my boat building plans either
I also have been waiting.

In Fred's defence, I can say that he will make good your orders. I have made several purchases with him. Only once, there was an issue. Yes, it took some time to get it resolved, but I feel that there was a communication breakdown within his staff. After I talked directly to Fred, the issue was taken care of in a speedy, professional manner. my .02 worth

My experiences ordering from Fred have always been first rate. His is a distributor so maybe his supplier for that particular item is dropping the ball. If that's the case there is only so much he can do.

No doubt Fred is knowledgeable and very personable. He seems more interested in selling you what you really need than just making a sale - and I greatly appreciate that. Still that's no excuse for 5-6 phone calls leaving messages before a return call..........I'm patient and easy to get along with....as a consumer I just want to know where I stand. I too run my own business so I've been trying to give him the benefit of doubt that my customers don't always give me (even though I rarely leave myself open to that susceptability).

I am sorry that you having problem but my experinence was completely different. I called Fred this morning for the very first time and he was on the phone but returned my phone call within 15 mins later. He was very helpful and answered all my questions. I will definitely buy more from him.
