How we all like a moan about the service we get, or don't get, from various retailers don't we? I've done it myself. Still, I've always vowed that if I should ever be on the receiving end of a good experience, I'd be sure to tell about that too, as a counter balance.
I don't know if anyone here has used www.diygear.com at all? (Original name eh? :roll: ) I had cause to order from them for the first time recently, but after a week of waiting without a peek I became a bit concerned and emailed to cancel. Got an email back PDQ saying "It's already on its way". Grrr... So I demanded in a slightly huffy way why they hadn't let me know, and suggest how about they change their system to send an email to at least acknowledge the order in a "constructive critisism" tone of typing. Turns out they did, but my ISP must have blocked it. Ooops.
I email back and admit I'm looking a bit embarrased etc etc. No problem, they're upgrading the system to try and correct this problem, and if I remind him of this trouble next time I order they'll be no charge for delivery! :shock: It wasn't even their fault, but they still wanted to make amends. As someone pointed out to me, they want to flog me more stuff; but that's the point of good customer service isn't it?! I'm not sure that they're the cheapest (haven't actually checked), but they do seem to stock stuff that other places don't bother with. No affiliation and so forth, but just a satisfied customer who felt sufficiently moved to suggest you at least take a look at the site and maybe bookmark it just in case.
I also thought you might enjoy the rarity value... :lol:
Cheers, Alf
