parker, uggh!
well, talked to doug, becky, and tom the vp of operations. they charged me $7.10 in shipping for a 1 ounce draw length module for my neighbor. told me that's what ups charges. i deal with ups all the time and that's bs.
also doug cost me 3 hours labor. he's a tech guy. he gave a customer untwisted string lengths for his bow. they don't even know the correct finished length. i talked to doug and he believes you can twist 1.25" out of a string. in other words to start 1.25" long. this, as any string maker will tell you will never work. so, if 90" is printed on a parker limb the correct string length may be around 88.75", or it may not.
i also asked him for a tuning gap or reference pt for timing the cam on my neighbors bow. he said " well, how i usually do it and it seems to work pretty good is kind of get the limb somewhere between 1 of the holes in the cam" its a big hole. he had no idea where that cam was really supposed to sit. i let the vp of operations know no other company i have dealt with, which is all major companies, does business like this. that all other companies have a finished length for their strings and cables and have tuning gaps or specific references because they knew where their bows performed optimally. i know string lengths are not exact, but parker can't even get you in the ballpark, and what's listed on their bows are not even close to correct.
all this is after becky spoke with me for a while, put me on hold for 4 minutes and then i was transferred to her voice mail. this is the most unprofessional company of people who have no idea how to give specific information i have ever dealt with.
