Suggestion for PHP Regarding Custom Tune Lead Times??
I was just thinking about this the other day when I was trying to calculate or figure out when my custom tunes might be done. I have been waiting barely a month so I know its going to be quite some time longer, but this just kinda popped into my head when I was thinking about it.
I don't know if this would be feasable for Corey or Bill to do given all the programmers they work with, but I just wanted to throw it out there and see if it might trigger something or maybe help them out.
I was thinking a Sticky or something in each section letting people know the date at which they have completed custom tunes for. So say right now they can update it and say "Finished through February 10th" or whatever the date is. Then update accordingly as days are completed.
This would also help us as customers get a better idea of maybe when to expect it. If we can see the progression and how its working, then maybe you won't have so many questions or concerns about the wait times. I'm sure more than 80% of the emails and PM's you handle are wait time related, so even if it cut that down by 20-30% because we could just see how its progressing, then I think it would be worth it to PHP to do it.
Again just a thought and suggestion. I know that there is lots going on behind the scenes that none of us know about, so this may not be feasable, but I've been in the automotive aftermarket business for nearly 10 years and know this has worked for me in years past with large group buys or in any instance where a large quanitity of something is ordered. I remember selling Greddy turbo kits for Miatas and had nearly 80 orders worldwide for them. Greddy couldnt' make them fast enough, so I got on their forum, made a thread, and kept people updated so they knew roughly how far down the list they were and maybe when to expect it.
My apologies for making this kind of long winded, but I'm just as anxious as the next guy to get their custom tunes and having a little better idea than seeing people right now who have waited since late January, I think would be a good idea.
Any other thoughts or ideas to help out with this situation maybe?
