BMFin 0 #2 May 20, 2003 LOL... I know the feeling.. Same sh*t with mirage a few times.. BTW. Why not to contact a dealer ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crapflinger2000 1 #3 May 20, 2003 Well.... that is a good question. I spose the reason is that since I used to be a full time rigger I am used to dealing direct with the factory to get stuff. Just feel better about it. Ya know... I know exactly what I need and don't want to deal with another layer of people... bla bla bla __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Gravitymaster 0 #4 May 20, 2003 Have you tried telephoning them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crapflinger2000 1 #5 May 20, 2003 No, that would entail human interaction. I try to avoid that whenever possible. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crapflinger2000 1 #7 May 20, 2003 Piss off Bill Booth? Oh noooooooo! Seriously, my boss probably wouldn't like to hear me on the phone talking about skydiving stuff, etc... Email is a generally accepted form of business communication these days... just asking for a little love from RWS... I know it's only $80.00 to them, but what the heck... __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakydiver 0 #8 May 20, 2003 Shoot - I've been "emailing" the two major dropzones here in Colorado for like the past four weeks trying to figure out when the heck water training is coming up. After not hearing back from either in literally four emails a piece, I called one of them only to find out "Oh, so sorry, you've just missed the water training and there wont be another one for four more weeks." COME ON, DONT PUT AN EMAIL ON YOUR WEBSITE IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO CHECK THE ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRWBUDDHA 0 #13 May 20, 2003 Hey person with less than what it takes to get what you want....... Contact WWW.RelativeWorkshop.com read through the options on any of the container orderforms regarding risers Pick the ones you want........$105-$115.00 Clean up your act considerably before you contact Dorthy Webster by fax and ask what she will require you to do to purchase the risers you seek.... Follow her instructions. One liners and stupid remarks will get you a terminal illness about your face and head.....I suggest you become humble very quick ......... Any one can make a mistake, some just press their luck until they recieve an attitude adjustment......... Nes Pau? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwing 4 #15 May 21, 2003 Buddha, I think the original complaint is quite reasonable. After all, it was a response to something like a week of unresponsiveness. Don't forget that a business needs to be responsive to a customer. The customer shouldn't have to grovel. I'm not saying that a business should be nice to a customer that is being an ass, but not responding seems like they haven't even given him a chance to be an ass. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #17 May 21, 2003 QuoteEmail is a generally accepted form of business communication these days. its not just "generally accepted" its damn near the standard for many industries..i get a great deal of my taskings via email and havent actually talked to my boss in more than a month.. any business thats serious about participating in todays world should have at least ONE employee who checks the company email once a day minimum..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

AggieDave 6 #18 May 21, 2003 Once a day? That's not enough, really. You should have it checked atleast 3 times during the business day. Or if you'r elike me, last time I had an office job, the e-mail was checked every 2 minutes. (then again, I was working Tech Support, and doing Sys Admin work, so my life depended on timely responses to e-mails).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Zenister 0 #19 May 21, 2003 oh i completely agree, but i imagine a business whos primary activities are not online related could get by with only checking (and answering ) its email once each morning.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Zenister 0 #21 May 21, 2003 indeed, i tell everyone who sends me an email trying to get intouch with me to stay on at least 10 min after its sent because there is a good chance i'll have checked it by then.. even at a small company checking the email should be as basic as answering the phone or picking up the snail mail for whatever admin types they might have...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

skybytch 259 #24 May 21, 2003 Quoteeven at a small company checking the email should be as basic as answering the phone or picking up the snail mail for whatever admin types they might have... At many skydiving related companies there's only one person responsible for handling the phones, faxes, snail mail and email. They will get back to you, but they don't spend their days hovering over their email inbox like most of us who post here do - they're too busy doing everything else that needs to get done. Also, while email may be an accepted form of business communication, the email you sent may not have arrived at the address you sent it to yet, or it may not arrive at all. I've sent numerous emails that the recipients swear they never received (and yes, I did double check the addy I sent it to with them). If I need a fast answer or gotta have something quickly I pick up the phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMFin 0 #25 May 21, 2003 Quote At many skydiving related companies there's only one person responsible for handling the phones, faxes, snail mail and email. Maby so, but thats exactly what the problem is here. I dont belive anyone here thinks their just hangin out and playing play-station all day long. According to my logic, if a company is getting more orders they can handle, they hire more staff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
