That's what I call a good advertising.
I am constantly bombarded with requests to send a picture of a part I have after I've just given a detailed description over the phone.
It is a time consuming waste of frigging time and I can only assume that the person doesn't trust my description or that they don't think I know what I am doing. This just plain pisses me off.
I make every effort to ship on the day I promise and that is , most often, the day the order comes in.
Requesting a tracking number is another way to piss me off and waste my time. After all, I just told the person that the part has been shipped and it will arrive on a certain day. Leave me alone and don't bug me until the day passes and the precious part has not arrived. That precious part is often a bolt or a fastener that I spent an hour looking for and charged the princely sum of $5.00.
I am not a fan of the new way of doing business and can't wait to be retired!

Word to the wise...don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs...
If you are having that much trouble dealing with the customer, you need to be charging more to offset the inconvenience. I know problem customers rarely get fired, but you should at least be getting paid to deal with the hassle.
Just tell your customers you ship by Canada Post. Period!

Now THAT is de-cceleration, right? Ain't anticipation the greatest of all joys?
P.S. I guess nobody would even bother caring about a 3-day delay on tracking #'s ;-)

Indeed. The internet has compressed time, compressed geography, compressed business (a few monolithic category killers - goodbye Mom, goodbye Pop), and compressed brains (no explanation needed).Quote:
