Backfire:
v. When something goes opposite of the expected outcome.
Ex: this thread.

Should have just messaged them here. They were the easiest and fastest transaction I've had in a long time. PM in the morning , shipping ID in the afternoon!lol

I suppose there is now a whole generation that is used to and expect instant gratification. Thanks a lot Internet.

The irony is that they seek help and answers on the internet, and the answers are already out there... on the internet.

Instead of creating a new thread, they just need to use the mystical search function on google, and their questions would be answered much quicker.

Problem is people are just too damn lazy.

Wow. Just Wow.

Sometimes it is better to lose a certain type of customer.

I'm still wondering if he went off on vacation without leaving any sort of message on his voice mail that he wasn't available. OP overreacted, but I'm sure I would have been irritated if the guy didn't answer his phone for a couple of days with no explanation.

In fact, I had that happen to me when I bought the disc brake kit for the Dana 60 on my Gladiator. Only one company in the US makes it. I ordered it by phone, and the guy was supposed to get back to me with a shipping total later in the day. I didn't hear from him. I called a few times over the next few days (not 9 times like freakshow here) and got nothing but their regular voice mail. Turned out they closed up shop and went on vacation right after taking my order without bothering to put anything on their website or their voice mail.

Everything worked out in the end, and the product was fine when I finally got it. Yet the way it was handled wasn't professional at all. If you're going to hang your shingle out to do business, there are certain expectations. They didn't meet them.

It doesn't sound like the vendor here did either, regardless of all the heavy petting going on in this thread.

The buyer made a big deal out of nothing, but the vendor did themselves no favors by not putting up any "out of office" notice, especially when it was not a public holiday.

90% of the replies in this thread are siding with the vendor, but they are not blameless in this matter.

I'm part of the 1%

Anyone notice that the OP has disappeared from this thread?

Maybe he had to wait more than 5 seconds for his Spongebob binge on Netflix to load and he cancelled his ISP.

Yeah, pretty much, but most of take a few deep breaths before jumping into the deep end.
Not only that, he said he would never buy from Amazon again!!

Sideways · 07-10-2017, 05:56 PM

This thread is epic....people these days just don't have patience or trust on someone else.

But yeah, where is OP.

Dave-ROR · 07-11-2017, 11:20 AM

@SUB-FT86 - why aren't you replying to this thread?

This was quite possibly the most insane overreaction to a simple mistake I've seen in awhile.

You have been online today....
