Failing QC and CS

Some times bad luck runs in streaks .. as does good luck !!

What can one say while staying sane ? .... S H I T happens and tomorrow is another day

I have had the same problems with many including FX. 

I tried to get a new regulator rod from them several times then gave up and bought a Huma so I could go shoot my Impact. They caught me here on the forum when I complained about it. I was impressed, to say the least and we had dialog and I bought another regulator rod. But the part they sent me was ten times as bad as the one that I took off in the first place. Sent them a couple pics and got another one that was good. Ordered three moderator parts all three had a little defect with silver shining through where the finish or metal was chipped. Looks like they grabbed them out of the defect pile and then just sent them out. They were just small cosmetic flaws so I kept the parts rather than go through the hassle of the return. This should not be though they were packaged very well.

Over my lifetime things have turned so bad that when I get something and it werqs I am a happy camper and keep it even if it is bent, dented or scratched up because sending it back means I could get something worse in return.

Although I try not to order from China much of this stuff came from there. So, I expect it and sometimes even expect to have to fix it to get the new thing, whatever it be, to even make it werq. I am very disappointed when I get something from FX or the USA that is as thrashed or scratched up as the China stuff though. The few things I have received from Germany have all been excellent.

Still 75% of what I get is good to go so it's really not that bad?

As Motorhead said tomorrow is another day and so it is.

We are blessed to have it and our first world problems today. I wouldn't want it to be any other way. ;^)

Sometimes they hire people that can’t tell the difference between a good or a bad Part. Pyramid air did that to me after I told them to inspect the second magazine that they sent me and it was broke. And when I message them, they said they did inspect it. I just told them they didn’t do a very good job of inspecting it. After three tries I finally got a good one. The problem today is that everything is made in very big quantities and they try to meet deadlines. So it is Rush rush rush to get parts out and they do a lousy job on quality control.

Well said.

When people are spending money wildly, this is what happens. Look at all the crap guns, they don’t have to make them better because we won’t stop buying them. There is such a demand for things that I believe they don’t care. Would you if your shelves were always empty? If the picky guy won’t buy it, some dumb ass will.

I think we are creating this by bitching about shipping time , we want everything now so there is not much time to inspect everything.

Seriously guys, you can't wait one more week to get something, it's not that you order food for you family and they starving.

In the end you forget that something you got week later but you don't forget that you receive wrong item or something was broken.

There is three tings involved in business, quality, price and time and you can only have two of them at the same time, no other way around 

Not blaming anyone just making a point .

Absolutely B.

Well, I'm of the mind that there is no such thing as a coincidence. And it honestly seems like an overall trend of declining quality and care. In many areas I look at. It seems volume has more value than does quality. That is what is paying, and that is what is being paid for.

Tomorrow is a new day. And I do like to think of things in that manner. Things can always improve just as they may not.

As the saying goes. If you want it done right, do it yourself. Problem being that I don't have have a machine shop. Yet

Well look me up when you get that machine shop and I can be your friend. ;^) 

Machine shop Machine shop...

Sorry to hear that happened to you I personally have had great service come from FX USA, I just got off the phone with them a couple days ago after I damaged part of my gun and was suggested a repair kit that has some O-rings and stuff I need to get my gun up. I spoke with a lady from customer service and a technician and they were extremely helpful, hopefully, you get things turned around.
