Default How do i get a hold of the guys at Benen?

i want to order a b-pillar bar from them. only way i can talk to them is through e-mail. they would answer my question, e-mail me back like twice, and then after that, ignore me.
i can't call because everytime i call, there's an answer machine. anyone here actually works for them?

More than likely if you ask about the product on here someone will know.

the guys at benen are very busy at times and can't answer each and every call/email. ken and dom are good folks and it's not like them to leave their customers hanging like that. just leave them a message or an email, i'm sure they'll get back to you as soon as they can.

that is funny. i actually contacted them also. no answers from them either. i left 2 messages on their answer machine. i IMed the guy on here also. where's the customer service from these guys?

(7:03 PM 2/18/2004) Unjockable: hi, i'm interested in some benen products. i want the b-pillar bar for a 96-00 honda civic. i e-mailed them and they said they have it in stock. but it's hard getting a hold of them. you're one of their distributors. can i order it from you? i want a black one. let me know. i can come down and put a deposit.

(7:51 PM 2/18/2004) RobearRacing: sure can, just call us to order

(9:51 PM 2/18/2004) Unjockable: i called you guys but nobody answered.

(9:52 PM 2/18/2004) Unjockable: i'll try again...

(2:14 AM 2/20/2004) Unjockable: nothing....

I've had about the same luck with contacting benen in the past. Good guys or not, it leaves a bad taste in a customer's mouth when they can't get info on a product.

You're right my bad. I actually dont know any besides Benen that make the b-pillar bar. Seems a little dangerous to me.

I spoke with Dom at Benen yesterday on the phone, and he did say that they have been very busy lately. Call the shop, and leave a message for them. Tell them your name, leave your number, and also what you are looking for. Give them some time to return your call. They are awesome guys, just really busy at times.

jeez man, I called them up to order some stuff, and not only did I talk to them, they called me back and shipped my stuff that day, and also marked it as a gift, so I didn't have to even pay duty..... I say give them another try, you know how life at a shop can be, I'm sure it's just a busy time for them, it's only been two days, **** I don't even call my buddies back that fast...
