I too have had horrible response from Tony over the last several months. I had ordered the billet caps from him, as they were the only piece my machinist needed to get started. The long of the short is, I could never get any response (over a month), until I finally faxed him an order cancellation notice. He called me back before the fax had completed transmitting. I simply suggested that he get someone to cover customer service, or he would continue to lose his customer base. It is very frustrating!!! I have verbally and electronically promoted his products for a long time, as I think they are absolutely top notch. He just needs to hire someone to field his calls, and keep up with the daily regimen of things, IMO.
I'm encouraged to hear that he is expanding his facility and staff, and certainly hope he'll be able to redeem his service levels for communication, as well as product availability. Good news...!
