    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Another Sonic Springs Nightmare!

Even with the somewhat questionable customer service reviews I had read, I ordered a set of Sonic Springs on April 28th.

The money came out of my account on the 29th and I received an email stating that the order had been accepted by Sonic. (All good so far!)

I sent an email on 5/2 requesting a status of when I could expect the shipment. - NO RESPONSE!

I left a voicemail on 5/5 asking for info once again. - NO RESPONSE!
I sent an email on 5/5 at 4:30pm asking for the same info and got an email reply that the springs were being produced to replenish inventory and they expected them to ship sometime that week. (Sound familiar?)

I left for a motorcycle trip on the 14th without any springs, or update on a shipping date.

I sent another email on 5/19 at 9:15 am, asking if the springs had shipped and if I had missed their email. - NO RESPONSE
I left a voicemail on 5/19 at 4:15 requesting the info and at 4:30 I got a text message stating that the shop had been closed the past week due to a family emergency and my order would ship on 5/19.

So basically, I've waited 3 weeks for them to ship my order, one that they promised to ship a week and a half ago!

The sad part of this is that I put the following postscript on my email to them:

"Good customer service keeps customers; bad customer service keeps them away!"

Evidently, they have enough business and don't need mine, as I will be buying my springs from Race Tech in the future!
 
“Family emergency” or not, they could have sent a quick message:
” having an emergency situation here, will ship your order in about a week.”

Wow, Steve returns to the forum. Long time since your last post.
Good to have you back.
 
I got some springs from Sonic for my 1100E. There was a small delay, but he wrote me to say he was at a race event and would get back to me, which he did. I got the springs and asked some questions, he was helpful. Maybe it's just a side hustle? The product was good, and he answered my questions, all of which were due to my ignorance. Maybe it's just a matter of little volume and a gig that doesn't pay much. I dunno. I can't make those springs myself and for the price I am satisfied, despite the initial delay. What choice did I have anyway?
 
Well........... still no tracking number email. Makes me wonder if they actually shipped my springs yesterday as promised. :mad: (I'm betting not!)

"IF" they did, how long does it take to email the tracking info?

A real lesson on how to NOT do customer service!
 
I wonder if it's a case of someone selling an item that they don't have in stock, then they need to buy it and get it delivered to them?
 
I sent another email requesting the tracking number this afternoon. :mad::mad::mad:

We shall see if I get a response!

Race Tech. That's where I got the fork springs for my 1100E.
 
Update: Well......I got an email tonight at 8.36pm telling me the tracking number of my order.

Checked the UPS website, and it shows the tracking number, but they don't have the package yet! Looks like it wasn't shipped on Monday as promised!

Looks to me like Sonic Springs should be teaching a Master Class in how to pi$$ off customers!:mad::mad::mad:
