Public opinion needed

I may regret asking this. Lol.

I’d like to hear how y’all would feel if in my present predicament.

I’ll try my damndest to keep the other party unknown in hopes that it will get corrected.

AND HERE WE GO....

I have a DW in order from Keith that will be a matte blue. Since it will be a classic style pistol (A2) I wanted a classic look to my grips but still the function I’m used to.

I love Harrison carry groove grips. VZ was unwilling to cut custom ivory colored G10 if I asked Mr Harrison’s permission. Don’t blame them.

So the next step was to find someone to coat them.

I thought I found a company that would knock it out of the park.

So I contacted them.







This was their response:



So I ordered the grips from Mr Harrison. Had them shipped directly to the coating company. That was last week of February.

I get a message this past Monday from Mr Harrison asking if I knew why grips he sold me (invoice still in the box) had been shipped to him.

They coaters did the job then rather than confirm with me shipped them back to where they came from.

When i contacted the coater they said I had not filled out an order form from their website and didn’t know that was part of the process since I had communicated with them 100% via email. So...Mr Harrison graciously shipped them to me. On my dime, not the coater.

They arrived today.

Remember our conversation.

Remember the ivory picture examples I provided.

Remember they said they would mix the custom color.







To me they look like a mechanic did a brake job then handled white grips!

Did I not convey my wants properly?

Their response:



I have since responded and noted that I had asked for a mixed ivory color.

I’m waiting on a response and a hope for them to remedy this.

While not the best grammar I’ve seen I didn’t want them to write a copyright application just do what they are known for.

Their fine print may have me holding a set of grimy $130 grips.

Interesting reply.

It’s true he hadn’t invoiced me yet. I had asked him in a previous message if he wanted me to pay. He didn’t respond and I had kind of figured it would be in the box.

At this point do I really have anything to lose from sending them back?! Beyond more shipping fees!

Wonder if I can find a suitable “ivory” color sample card at the home improvement store? Just send that to them.

Have them mix to match as closely as possible and be done.
