Vendor Issues

[Mark]

Are you talking to me who never used the word derogatory or to the vendor? I think I made it obvious that I was just giving him sh!t and it is unlikely I would have defended his cause if I thought he was being derogatory

But
In case you are talking to me, I assure I am not a sensitive woman type. And if you were wrongly directing it at me I assume that you now see the error that you made.
.

Correction: wordy sensitive woman type.

You are wrong though about never a good idea. They certainly are a good idea if used correctly.

Ok newbie, I think over 6 years on this board and 14 and nearly 10 on the EBML list and Bfix list, I have seen plenty of such threads. Point me to one thread that it's been a good idea.

Yea censorship, that will get the truth out.%) %)
The way I see these "bashing" threads is usually the good vendors look even better afterwords, and the bad ones look like they need to try a little harder to get my hard earned $$ .

If you see the "Bashing" threads on these last issue's as good, then by your standard there are no good vendors! As all of them have had this happen to them, and most of the problems where out of the Vendors hands.

How do you get "Censorship" out of fallowing the simple rules that Admin has for this site?

WOW 6 yrs on this forum forgive me oh great master of the internetz...

I see you have learned the lesson that you can slime around and disrespect other men on the internet and say things that in real life would get your teeth knocked down your nasty lil pie hole...

And with that I am done wasting time with you... You could have just admitted that using the word NEVER in that context is always wrong ya big dummy...

I guess every forum has a punk. Newbie?... Are you 12? Please don't taunt me anymore lol.

You can't even take some ball busting. Thanks for making my point.
Belmont must be part of San Francisco. %)

You missed that I was pointing out that I have seen many more threads like this than you. I wasn't merely boasting. You failed in my challenge to find an instance where this type of thread was a good idea. I would have ate crow if you could have, but your thin skin forced you to to react without rational thought.

See how this thread has turned out? Bad idea from the get-go.

I'm more frustrated with the COD thing. It's just odd. Who uses COD anymore, anyway... .

You would be mazed how many COD's people still get. I'm a UPS driver and I can tell you I do about 8-10 a day. It's a hassle, because people are usually not ready and have to go track down a checkbook or their boss and his/her checkbook. Then they always ask the same question "What is it?", How would I know what it is? What did you order?. I think the main reason people use it is to buy time on paying for it. Between shipping time and three delivery attempts, you can put off paying for for at least a week. I know I'm off the subject but the COD thing made me laugh. Before I worked for UPS, I thought they were a thing of the past.

Good lord. I throw out a "hey, this is the situation, I'm not naming the vendor because he's hasn't responded yet, but here's what happened, am I being reasonable?" and apparently I'm "cleverly" bashing someone I never even mentioned by name. Chuck outed himself.

For the record, I called Chuck this morning and spoke with him. Since it's Saturday it'll be Monday before we figure out why Vintage Air sent it COD. It appears the AC portion of the screw up is all on VA. I'm not exactly sure how you "accidentally" put a COD on a package (it's extra paperwork with UPS), but I guess we'll see.

The power steering pump seems to be stuck in limbo somewhere since it's also being drop shipped. Again, communication goes a LONG way to happiness. If I'd been told it'd be a while for the PS pump from the get-go, I'd have patiently waited for it. Of course, I'd also have expected that my credit card NOT be charged for it until it shipped.

The problem here isn't that there was a problem with the order... that happens all the time. It was that this order seems to have more than its fair share of them. Delays, stupid shipping mistakes, and no communication to smooth the waters.

Will Chuck make it right? I'm confident he will and I'll remain a happy customer when he does. Do I hope that he takes this to heart and improves the communication his company has with customers (especially when their "in stock" stuff is suddenly backordered or has to be drop-shipped)? Yeah, I do. I want him to succeed.

I've worked in a small mail-order company and I know how this stuff happens, so I'm incredibly understanding. On the other hand, I think a lot of (perhaps all) the Bronco vendors could stand to improve. If we're keeping all of their mistakes and delays and stuff private because we want to be nice, we're really doing them a disservice by going along with stuff thats both easily fixed and turns off a first-time buyer.

But that's not even the point because all I wanted to know was "am I being an asshole for asking them to ship the stuff overnight because of the mistakes and delays". The problem is, if I'd not explained the situation, no one can give me that answer.

I guarantee that if I was building a web site (that's what I do) for Chuck (or anyone else) and it was set to be delivered Sept. 25th and I just kind of sat on it and never told him why it was delayed until the site arrived on November 25th with a bill for $800, he'd prolly be pissed. I'm guessing he might even tell his buddies about it before he had it out with me (especially if he was in a position where he couldn't get ahold of me for a few days). The nice thing about these supposed "bashing" threads, is the record's there for future people to see that Chuck's an upstanding guy and did right by his customer... and I'd put way more weight (in fact I have) on a vendor with a few problems he's addressed correctly than I would I hear NOTHING about.

The postings on this thread ranged from well-reasoned to asinine. Calling names because someone insulted your favorite vendor who you've never met (which I didn't even DO... heh) is not only rude, it's just a little sad.

For those who posted reasonably, even if I disagree with you, I can respect that.

Well if we're going by the rules then your first post in this tread should be deleted, because of violating rule #1.

As for my standards, I think you missed my point. Imo, after reading BCBroncos reply, I would be more likely to buy from him, because of this tread.

 

[feitctaj]

as usual Chuck shows his stones

 

[blackbeauty]

I am getting really tired of these threads that point fingers and lay blame before there has been much done, if anything, from the customers end to try and resolve the issue. Just because you purchase something does not make you ENTITLED to what ever you feel is what should have happened. And i dont mean to point my response totally at this thread, but there has been MULTIPLE threads recently of customers being complete 13 year old spoiled brats, that are going to stop their feet, slam doors, and cry, just cause things got screwed up. CB is not about this. Work it out with the vendor first, then chime in here if you are not satisfied. And if those people cant make a simple phone call to whoever the vendor is and talk to the manager or owner with their issue, GO TO PIRATE as piss and moan there.

;D ;D What color is the kettle?

>>>>> I bet the waiting part is really hard for the drivers who've only been there since UPS adopted the ring the door bell ,drop & run method..... I like the old days before they figured out that a few stolen packages & a little possible fraud was still better for their pocket book than returning for a signature................

;D ;D What color is the kettle?

Really? You are at me for what i said?... WOW.... I just dont think it is fair to write threads prior to trying and work things out with the company. Case in point, i wrote an angry thread about a vendor 8 months or so ago but i did my homework first... Following the "Site Rules"... Again there has been a few bashing threads in the last weeks and not saying this is the only one. But they all, in my eyes, have been in poor taste. I mean i felt sincerely bad for Jim in the cage bashing thread, and it wasn't even cage's fault, but the guy kept bashing...

And if you want to pic at me some more, here is that thread...

I am sure Jon will be locking this one as well, if not at least saying to knock it off or he will.

You guys all need to go hug a baby, happy up and use your time to do something constructive, something positive.

Who did I personally attack in this thread? Are you referring to my use of the word "asshat"? Its like Southerners calling Northerner's "Yankee's", or referring to sleeveless camo wearing people as "Redneck", or someone who's close to there Mother being called a "Momma's Boy"............................wait a seconded, is this Rick Halle, Saddleup is that you?:-X :-*
