I just wanted to share another story about an EB vendor going out of their way to be helpful:
I ordered a family cage "bikini" top from Wild Horses yesterday (along with some other parts) and asked that they ship it out seperately ASAP so I could have it for the weekend to take the kids out. My bad for waiting so long to order it.
Rich from WH e-mailed immediately me to let me know what they could do and what the extra shipping cost would be. That was nice.
What was nicer was that, when he found out I was going to be installing it over my new CRAB cage, he e-mailed back to let me know that the fit might not be perfect as it wasn't specifically designed for that cage. He went so far as to call a local customer with the same cage, measure his cage up, and get back to me with the details of what might be off. That, IMO, was really nice and WAY beyond the kind of customer service that we get most anywhere. He didn't pressure me with an upsell (though he did point out that WH can have one custom made to my measurements for a very reasonable charge), he just wanted to make sure that I knew exactly what I was getting and what to expect.
All in all, it may not seem like much but how many times have all of us ordered something only to find out later (in a pinch) that it's not exactly what we needed? That Rich went to this effort to make sure I would be satisfied is awesome, especially when it would have been SO easy for him to just ship it out & be done with it.
I only wish the vendors I deal with in my business were as customer-centric as the EB vendors that I've been fortunate to deal with have been!
