Is there a visible difference to the spokes (bend angle?) after they've been stress relieved?
There goes thier stellar reputation. Pinging is a sign of a poorly built wheel as is one thats out of true before it's even ridden. Minor truing should not cause pinging. I agree with the assement that they forgot(or never bother) to do any stress relief or didn't tension them properly. Take them to an lbs and have the tension checked.
