Beat me to it - haven't delt with him yet but he was very helpful over the phone so put him down as one to deal with.

I used to be a fan of Pine Rivers, however I sent some stuff to them on the 6th August of 2008..Got it back in November and numerous pieces had to be sent back as there were still dints, grooves and one piece was bent out of shape... I still have not received those pieces back yet.. Ive made numerous phone calls about this stuff (like once a week since August) and been told so many lies and false promises as to when it will be done and so on....

This is the 3rd time ive used them and the last 2 times have been nothing but a sh*t fight over the quality and time frame of it getting done.

I dont mind if they say it will take 3 months when it will be done, but they keep saying it will done by the end of the week and it never is. Every week they tell me the same crap...

That reminds me, i need to call them again today.

Just annoying that they were paid in full $1600 back in September. And this is still dragging on.

Edit: Just gave them another call, apparently one last piece is being plated at the end of this week. Funny, thats what they told me 2 weeks ago?

I went there once to get some zinc plating done , a bucket full of different parts from stub axles , sprockets and bolts and washers, about sixty bits , they quoted me between $250 and $300 and two weeks wait, Then I went to allzinc electroplaters at Brendale, cost me $70 for the same bucket of bits and it took them 4 days.
