I've had them replace parts past warranty so I disagree

Quoted from usandthem:You got lucky because of who you spoke with on that particular day.
Ive dealt with either Pat or Chas every time, I had fine experiences with them. I dunno, maybe they have bad days too because some douchebag hung up on them.
Quoted from usandthem:Their expressed written warranty is extremely skimpy.
Well, thats fair I suppose, but I know Gweempose recently had his Aux board fry on Xmen and that game is way out of warranty and they didn't give him any hassle on getting it fixed up.
Quoted from usandthem:Again, it's hit and miss as your story of Gweempose illustrates. They cover a game that's way out of warranty, but won't do anything about a brand new game whose decals are falling clean off.
While I haven't bought a brand new game, I did get some ramps from Stern that must've had a problem as they were removed from the mold. They had some pretty big flaws. Stern took them back. When they gave me new ones, they threw in some protectors for good measure. So, I've been taken care of too, in a sense.
Your statement is incorrect, his decals are not falling off, they are having wrinkling issues around the flipper button and they did something, sent him free lolli-pop rails even though their warranty doesn't cover it....

Quoted from BrooklynDrug:No you see, right there, your assuming. And I don't really enjoy people who operate off assumption. Your just making a situation in your head because you favor stern, which I understand... But it's a clear assumption, and that's just dumb. My situation wasn't a decal situation at all or anything pertaining to it. It was a board issue and the ASSHOLE I talked to was not being polite or helpful at all. He was rushing me off the phone really, when I was calm and polite. It's my first stern purchase and it'll be my last. Wether you stern thumpers (like you), like it or not.
You definitely come off as someone truly even tempered.
Edit-was it an Xmen board issue? Details if you could indulge us.
Quoted from BrooklynDrug:Well, when someone assumes I'm being a dickhead off of absolutely nothing, yeah.... Gets me a bit steamed. Stern are not complete saints, I'm sure someone else in the world has had a bad experience. Just cause they treated you like gold doesn't mean they do that with everyone else. Also doesn't mean everyone who had a bad experience are dickheads either.
And that's not me being "tempered", that's me embracing reality.
So what was wrong with your board?
