ActLabs Ruined my Christmas

Thanks ActLabs for ruining my Christmas. I ordered parts to fix my broken wheel on Dec.8 So you would have plenty of time to get them to me. Now it is Dec.23 and no parts. Now I will not be Able to play any of the new racing games I am getting For Christmas. I have sent emails and have not had Any response from you guys. I talked 4 other of My racing buddies into buying your Combo package. Now I wish we would we have went with Logitech. Thanks again Morris Jones

That's gotta suck.

Mjones53... Bad deal....but such is life in "sim world." Suggestion: It is still Saturday....two days before Christmas......why not get out the old trusty credit card, trot on down to the local computer store and purchase a backup racing wheel.......yours will go down many times and then you'll always have one as a backup. And, you'll have one to race your new Xmas gift racing games this weekend! I would suggest purchasing a TM NASCAR Pro Digital 2 wheel (now from Guillemot). I used it as my back up wheel.....now I like it so much I took my ECCI and put it a box! The wheel is quite spectacular....very smooth (especially in GPL) and self-calibrates (no more Win98 Control Panel to deal with). It has a separate shifter (perfect for the SCGT, NASCAR series and all GT-type racing) and paddle shifters ....perfect for GPL, GP3 and so forth. This "combo" makes this a great back up wheel....since it accommodates nearly every type of racing game you could imagine (even the stadium truck racing, Leadfoot.....was awesome with this wheel). It also has four programmable buttons on the wheel itself! It's such a good wheel (and I've owned over 30 of them)......I made it my primary online racing "league" wheel. The best thing is this: It cost $59.00 (USD).....and CompUSA has tons of them in stock! Why not give this a try.....and have a fun Christmas for a relatively low-dollar solution! Merry Christmas...... Tom PS: I am in now way associated with Thrustmaster, Guillemot....or have any financial interest or ulterior motive for making this suggestion. I am simply passing on to you what seems like a very good solution to your problem.....and you'll get a really fantastic racing wheel as a bonus!

Well Thomas Made my Christmas actaully since they built and shipped my incredible wheel in roughly 10days. I love it and well I have found out how bad many other controllers are since I have tried many. Dave [email hidden] wrote in article <922sdq$gpm$[email hidden]>...

Hey Morris...just a guess, but I'll bet you didn't win any prizes for your "True Meaning of Christmas" essay this year in Jr. High School, eh? In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

It depends on whether he was promised the delivery, and paid for expedited shipping or not. If he was promised the delivery, and paid for expedited shipping, then he has a right to be angry. It's called follow-through. Doing what you promise. Unfortunately, this concept is missing from many companies these days. Whether or not this applies to his current situation can't be determined though... -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:922sdq$gpm$[email hidden]...

Why, yes I am. I gave up on that architecture thing. Too stressful. Nice catch, BTW. Not too many people make that connection. In article <923iu2$lu$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

Lots of "I's," "me's," and "my's" in that post, lil' feller. I'd say if you take stock of your situation, and compare your problem to some faced by many others around the globe this holiday season, you might find yours suddenly seems a bit insignificant. I think it's called perspective. . . --David K. "mjones53" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I was wrong to be upset, many people are not even lucky enough to have a Christmas, or to ever had a wheel to start with. I got carried away with it, I was just upset and being selfish. My bad guys, I'll live.. God Bless and Merry Christmas. "David Karr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:923n09$olv$[email hidden]...

Should have gotten a TSW. Great customer support...high quality wheels...if it breaks, they get it back to you ASAP (replacement parts sent within a day or 2 of the request). JB "mjones53" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I would be mad if I couldnt race my GPL for a month...you are right, life is short...I like to have fun in my short life. Is it better to go sit in front of the TV and watch the judge shows? JB "Gerry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a455485.5410191@news...

oooh...it's the ghost of Christmas Past.

You spoilt little Primma Donna!

Well I love my TSW wheel. Heck its durabable enough to where I even let my 10 year old and 6 year old discover NFS Porsche Unleashed. I would have never done that with my other wheels. Also I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago, it was at my door within 10 days and its fantastic. I do feel stupid since I wasted more then the cost of the TSW on other guys game controllers before buying the TSW.

I've put a gazillion laps on my TSW and it feels like I just bought it yesterday. I had to talk with them a couple of times when I upgraded my system and they hand the phone to the owner :). Great people. Just a suggestion if you end up ditching your act labs..I'm a previous owner of one myself.
