Title: Vendors can sometimes have big balls...
Post by: RichD on July 14, 2008, 10:17:46 AM
I'm looking for a 1098 dark tinted windscreen.  Stock replacement profile (not tall/bubble, etc.)
It's not like I bought a sprocket nut for a Bevel-bike...

Check this out:
"This windscreen is on back order. The ETA is 3-4 weeks. would you like to back order this?
Because of this backorder issue, we are unable to process your order without consulting with you first.
If waiting an additional amount of time for your items is going to be a problem, please contact us at your earliest convenience so that we can update or modify your order. Our sales staff will be more than happy to help you find a suitable alternative item.
If you do wish to wait for the item you want, we will require a half-down backorder deposit. This deposit will be retained as in store credit in the event of a backorder cancellation..."

The balls!!!

My response:
"Lets get this straight: You want me to pay for something you have not even bought?  ...!

I'm not in the business to be a bank for you.

I'm in business to be a customer.

If/when you get one in, CALL ME.  I'll probably still want it.  Maybe.
If you think I'm going to pay 50% for a "rain check", you need to put the crack pipe down.

What kind of DISCOUNT are you willing to give me for waiting?

-Rich D"

Am I out of line?  If you say you have something, ...then say you don't,  should I pay half (-and give you a loan) until you do?   ???

The balls some EmmEffers have amazes me. 

Really.

>:(

My response to Kev...:

Hi Kevin,
  I have already placed an order with another Vendor for a Fabbri windscreen with the same (stock) profile in a dark tint.
THEY:  Will not bill until the items are shipped to me. It'll take a week to get it from Italy, but THEY don't seem to mind.

My policy as a customer has been "revamped", as per your request.
It no longer involves "Kneedraggers"

Best of luck poking others in the potato hole,

Rich D.




I have all ideas "Kevin" has issues with "fulfillment" in other relationships in his life.   [laugh]

Great Customer Service... Tell the customer to piss off... I know I'll be think twice about any purchases from Butt-dragger's...

I can see it now... Me: Butt-Dragger's about that order I paid for in advance... Butt-dragger's: Piss off we have your money, stop calling me! You'll get poked in the potato hole when we are good and ready to poke you!

CS at it's best! Let's tell all our customers with any problems to "Go somewhere else"
