Can imagine getting the cost of a Krieger or Bartlein past the wife.
As long as she says, "Just get it if it'll stop your complaining," it's all good!    :rofl:

Tried to fill out the PSA contact form for a RMA.

What a surprise, will not accept the form, says the order number (from their order history) is not valid.

Of course, being an east coast outfit, have to call early to get anyone.  I foresee being on hold for a long time.

PSA is really starting to piss me off.

You can also contact them via Chat during normal EST hours.  Might be quicker than calling.

Did you verify the order number from YOUR order history under your account?  You said it didn't match "their order history", so not sure where you're looking.  All my orders are listed in my account info.

# is from "my account" that has several other orders.  It is correct per their website.  Copy and paste.

Turns out PSA has a rep on ARFcom that asked to contact him by PM.  Will see if that goes anywhere.   

The time difference is a PITA, leaving us with a 3-4 hour window, minus time sitting on hold "for the next available representative" bullshiite.

Believe me, you're preaching to the choir on the time zone problems.

It's a nuisance, but one you just have to work around.  Not much PSA can do about where you live, huh?   :geekdanc:

I think they'll get your problems resolved.  Good luck.

I spent over 5 months trying to get a replacement for an ottoman I bought with a sofa pit group from Costco.  The day I unboxed it, I called them, and they promised to ship a new one out.  Told me not to return the old one -- just keep it.

I called 2-3 times a month, and kept getting the "it's on order" response.  The estimated time for delivery was always the same: next month.

Finally, I got a supervisor and asked what they intend to do.  She said they may never get that model in stock again and offered me $100 to have the repairs done.  I countered with $250, and they said, "Okay!"  Had the money deposited in my PayPal account the next day.

I figured the ottoman cost them about $100 to make, but I wanted to get market value for it.   :D

It's really a minor problem with the ottoman's lid overlapping too far on one side when closed, but the part of the frame it hinges on is wobbly. 

For $250 off, I'll suffer with it!   :rofl:

The PSA rep and I got in contact.  To start, the order number came up as invalid according to him because is was just over 6 years old.

Which begs the question, if PSA is lifetime warranted, how do you get it serviced or replaced if no order number is still on file?  PSA online is like a brick wall.

The rep seems to know how to deal with this.  TS for anyone trying it without help.

Six years?

Makes sense why they want the whole upper.  It's unlikely that complete upper is still available in the exact same components you received.

My guess is you're looking at a free upgrade unless you opt for a full refund.
