No vendor can make every customer happy 100% of the time and stay in business for long...at least not if they want to make a profit.
For example, in the past there were several posts about the "other" Gene of GENE'S KAR SHOP. Gene has recently decided not to be a supporting vendor, btw.
Some members also complained about him not answering e-mails in what they considered a timely fashion. Many members who'd dealt with GENE'S KAR SHOP also showed their support in those posts while some unfortunately had their "bad" experiences with him.
Realize that some of the vendors are not brick and mortar businesses, but side line occupations by enthusiasts like the rest of us. They have personal lives, health issues, family issues, take vacations, etc.

Why don't you PM a mod or one of the administrators and ask the question directly. Calling the mods or admins out in public on a thread is a violation of the Forum's policy. It's a quick way to get a trip to banned camp.

oh...
it was probably forum vendor bashing...
honestly, it gets pretty ridiculous on here sometimes, to the point that i'm surpised that there are not reports of libel and/or lost business lawsuits between members & vendors or between vendors & vendors.
sometime the price of freedom of speech ain't cheap...

Do not be a part time vendor providing part time customer service is my take on it. Anyone can be a drop shipping reseller.

This is certainly interesting. I haven't had a chance to view it. I'm a stand up guy and I don't run from problems.
Although, I must say, some customers have been using me for a punching bag this week, much more than normal and rougher than normal. My dander is up.
Some people have to realize that I run a business and if you want to receive courteous, professional service than call me and treat me as such.
Quite frankly, I don't have to do this for a living, but I choose to do so because I like to help people out and it is fun, sometimes.
When I have had a week such as this, it is not fun.
