I'm with Ron on this one. No offense to you, Michael, but I think it's
always a good idea to see what can be worked out with the supplier before
nailing him to the wall for all to see. I, too, have worked with Rod at
Spridgetech. The guy has bent over backwards to take care of me. Even
offered me a deal that I would have been embarrassed to ask for because it
was so good.
Give Rod a call, Michael, and see what he can do for you. He's one of the
good guys.

Rod stands behind his work, has a great reputation, and is extremely
conscientious. I've used his glass man Dave Craddock for military
prototypes.
I would call him for an explanation before simply blasting him.
