Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and NONE AT THE MOMENT! .In Reply to: Small Parts --- ARGH!!! Posted by Jason Iannuzzi on 1/24/2001 10:15 AM EST: : I know that SPI has been a long time supporter of FIRST, and I hate to bite the hand that feeds me, but I just can't stand the turnaround we get on parts from them. : This year we're certainly more "locked-in" to SPI with the removal of Gears/Sprockets/Chain from the AHW List, and it's killing us. : Example, 7 days ago I placed an order for 4 60T gears for 2 day delivery, the order was placed at 10a.m. I expected the order Friday. The parts arrived Monday instead, one day isn't THAT bad, but only 3 of the gears arrived. The final gear arrived today. That's a 7-day turnaround on a 2-day order. Those 5 days really hurt over a 6-week timeframe. Not to mention, it's a fairly common part. I can't imagine that SPI would be suprised when many, many teams placed orders for 60T gears, considering they are the only source for gears this year. : I'm continually disappointed with FIRST (and Co.) Customer Service. 6 weeks is too little time to be screwing around with the little things. i have to go through several channels just to place an order... it's much harder for me. on the other hand, i just tell them to ship it overnight. ![]() -anton |
