The Next KVD Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 That's just pitiful. X2 X3. But thats what you get for it not being a St.Croix. lol. jk. Should ask them for two 7'11" rods next time plus two matching revos just incase one of the two they ship back is still has a quality issue. Quote

I may just ask for one 6 ft 9 and one 7 ft 11 and just see what happens 1 Quote
endless Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I may just ask for one 6 ft 9 and one 7 ft 11 and just see what happens I hope you do get both. It's deserving! I do admire your patience and humor. Quote

Flywatersmallie Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 That's just pitiful. That about says it. I've seen some real QC issues looking at Skeet rods in store with misaligned guides and one with a reel seat that spun around. None were that bad and have never seen issues on Abu stuff. That's just horrendous Quote
Diggy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 I just told them send me the 6ft9 again...I inspected the larger rod heavily, the guides were bent somehow.. I was able to bend the smaller guides back into shape but the bottom guide is bent way too much to even be used, plus the insert is cracking. We shall see what happens on the next shipment..... Quote
L a r r y Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Mannnnnnnnn those eyes are cocked like a pistol........Hope everything works out better on this next shipment for ya bruh.... Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 28, 2013 Super User Posted January 28, 2013 It was inspected Friday @ 4:59 in the factory and Chilis was serving 2 for 1's across the street and cockeyed Kevin had to be at his next job by 6? Thats funny as hell Quote
Diggy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 all sorted out now and Im smiling, stylin and profilin! woo woo oooooo woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 28, 2013 Super User Posted January 28, 2013 Crazy that this has happened. On a side note, this is why I dont order rods online. I know this is replacement issue. When Shimano replaced a rod for me, it was in a 1/2" thick round tube, and the rod was wrapped in soo much bubble wrap that it could have been dropped from the FedEx plane and be OK. I hope they do right for you Diggy, otherwise I would be asking for them to get on their knees for forgiveness. Quote
Diggy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 The 1st time was a box with bubble wrap...crack 2nd time was a huge rod tube that looked like super mario could use to teleport to another world but 3rd times the charms and I was duly compensated for my troubles Crazy that this has happened.

Jig Meister Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Two things. 1: I work for UPS and I know how things get handled, consider your packed to get kicked around and tossed like a football from truck to truck, this is what happens from a lot of guys. The guys who load trucks do not care, and a lot of the drivers do not care, if it says fragile, it might as well just say brake me. Sad but somewhat true where I work. 2: That being said I just ordered 2 Vendetta 2's from TW and they are being shipped buy UPS!! Haha, hope for the best, they will be here tomorrow I hope, so pray for me please! Quote
Jig Meister Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Oh and if these rods come and are broken, or damaged or otherwise messed up, I will probably just ask for a refund and go to Gander MNT and just get 2 Croix rods. the reels came in good order, so hope the rods do too. Quote
