SOLAR FREE

January 11, 2010

I ordered a sample from them just to try you never know, might fall in love with it!

Lots of spelling errors and looks like they offer a cheap product. Anybody use this film day in and day out?

one reason I will not even bother with a sample. if they can't even afford a .com website, and have numerous spelling and grammatical errors on the one thing that represents their company, I'd rather pass

Scotty, their web address is both .com (solarfreefilm.com) and .biz (solarfreefilm.biz)... so I don't understand how you could think that they can't even afford a .com website. If you are going to flame a company, flame them for their film. You talk about representation like its the sole reason why you would turn down a company. In truth, I agree with most people (minus you) about how crappy solar free is, but the reasons are never because they have grammatical errors or anything like that. If you're going to slam a company for any reason it should be because of: 1) service 2) price 3) quality... with quality being the most important.

with most companies the film quality and price are the reasons to pick between companies, but the website should play a large roll too. With how tied together the world is these days with the internet, it is the #1 marketing tool for companies to use. Hell, when I first started the first thing I did was a good search for tint companies, and looked at their websites and picked the ones I wanted samples from. If I saw solarfrees website then, or now, I still won't and don't want a sample from them. From what I hear on here, coupled with their website, I'll pass on that one.

If you can't even make a presentable website with correct spelling and punctuation, then why make one at all? All it does is make you look like a second class company who doesn't care about its image at all. No other film manufacturer has a website with any, let alone that level of errors in/on it.

Scotty, you put too much emphasis on websites, but thats your thing and I respect that. I like to see the overall picture about a company, and for solarfree, their website is riddled with grammar issues, but I still like their film and they treat me better than any other film company. When they send the wrong film, they send the correct one next day air, and give me a $30 voucher for my next order. But to each their own.

Well I only got comped twice with solarfree and it was because something was out of stock and they sent the wrong roll. If you have been comped numerous times, I feel like that company has been making too many mistakes and shouldn't be comping their customers numerous times. I have tried EWF, and I really like true black, but I told a story a while back about my surprising encounter at their facility in Placentia, CA. For this reason, I stay clear from EWF. Don't get me wrong, I'll recommend TB to anyone but the whole operation side smells too fishy for me. As good as TB is, there are other great films too, and I choose to stick with them.

the free comps are not due to mistakes on their part. once I ordered a set of carbon straight blades, when I wanted stainless since its what I've always used. I talked to howard and he thought I meant carbon olfa blades, and was like I'll send you out a stainless pack n/c, but I was like no no no just the plain straight ones, and hes like oh well I'll send you the SS olfas anyways, so I got a $17 pack of blades for free for something I screwed up on. Another time I was comped a 40 of TB just because they were in a good mood that day.

:dunno

I have other times where he's given me discounts on product for no reason. Last week I ordered some FG films with like 8" extra, so he gave me 20% off the next size roll (25' to 50') in this case, AND reduced my shipping charges since I paid for 2nd day air but he said I was guaranteed 2nd day from UPS ground, so instead of taking the extra money he refunded it and gave me the discount. Another time I was debating on buying another roll for money purposes, so he gave me 20% off that one and gave me a sample of it too.

Im sure theres been other times but that was just in the last 6 months or so

Tint4Food · January 12, 2010

lol... even with all that discount, ewf can't compete with solarfree's prices. at ewf's prices, I can easily buy a roll of llumar ATC with free shipping. I'm glad howard gives you those discounts, you out of all people should definitly deserve it.

ewf and solarfree are not competitors in my book. EWF carries a MUCH more extensive line of films than any company on the market, even the major ones. Where else can you get 8+ automotive lines, and tons of FG/deco/security films?

Plus, how long has solarfree been around? Probably not since 1985. Have their films proven themselves over time to be high quality? There have been people using expresses true smoke series, a 7 year film since the late 90s without any warranty claims yet. That shows something about the quality of their films.

ps- where are you getting ATC for the price of TB? you can't even get a roll of SolarGards NR smoke for that price, or QDP even
