Default Hot Seat Sucks

Well I bought a used cool head off of ebay and needed the o-ring for it and called them up and they told me I needed the whole o-ring kit. I said that I have the head that uses the head gasket but they told me that it called for 3 orings. I'm trying to think of where 3 orings could go but I'm taking there word for it and go ahead and buy it (29.95 f**ing rip off I might add ). When I get it I can't see where in the world where the 2 other o-rings would go so I call them up and they say "well our new head takes a o-ring instead of a gasket". Basically he told me I bought the o-ring kit for nought. I guess I got someone that didn't know what they were talking about the first time and a jerk the second. Needless to say I'm through with HotSeat. If you buy something from them just be sure you know what you need cause they don't and really don't care that they don't

I've NEVER had any trouble with HSP, but I live close enough that I don't have to deal with them on the phone. I just go in and get what I really need.

I can see them making a mistake but the "oh well" attitude just pissed me off. That's no way to treat a customer. I guess I'm just used to dealing with Mr.Ritter.
