Mr Soriano, the first issue I had with Wheeldude is I ordered the Mcgard Lugs on 9/19. I received a confirmation e-mail directly after the e-mail was placed. Finally with no more correspondence from Wheeldude I decide to contact your company via e-mail on 9/23. I got an e-mail response that simply said "Status changed to processing". Does it really take 4 days to process a simple order? Second issue is the shipping procedure you used. When I order a product on line, I expect that product to come in the original manufacturers packaging. I don't care how much it cost you in packaging. I am paying for the shipping. How do I even know that those lug nuts are not used??? You guys do not even use any dunnage in the bag, so the lug nuts are just bouncing around in there. I know that you put the protective caps on there. I do not want damage to the lug nuts even if it is in a spot that will not be visible. I would highly suggest shipping the lug nuts with the OEM packaging. It just looks trashy and not professional at all. Customers are only willing to pay for the product and to get the product out the door. Customers are not willing to pay for poor internal processes. I apologize if this is harsh. Just giving you my opinion.
Thank you
Joseph Rotford

Hi joe,
This is joseph, I own wheeldude.com.
I came across your email and I want to make sure your concerns are addressed.
We actually have been shipping lugs like that for years now and if there is something we can do economically to improve service to the customer, I would like to know how to improve it. If you do have time, can you elaborate on the exact issue you had w/ the packaging? I would also like to know what other issues you had w/ wheeldude.com.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Do you guys seriously send product to end customers like this? This is very un-professional and I have had a terrible experience with this company. I shall never order product from this company again. Thank you
