Stop in for a cup of coffee

Minor rant.

Called three businesses yesterday trying to arrange for transactions / work to be done. Spoke with human reps at each with assurance of a return call.

How many do you think got back with me...????

Could be handy around the yard. One man operation. Can be driven from either seat. Be aware of overhead utility lines.
 
Damn, been waiting 4 months for my turntable, damaged in shipping. Contacted repair guy to see where we go from here.

Wow... Another example for the multiple shipping threads. That sucks. You wait all that time with an expectation of safe delivery. I've started doing photos before I ever touch the package and then an unpackaging videos as "evidence" to argue damage. The neighbors must think I'm crazy.... (well.... LOL)

Definitely on to something there :thumbsup:

They may but what the heck. I d that too but only if the box looks compromised. I take pics of things I box as well. The item, the item packed in the box, and the finished boxing and taping.

Similar experience here, thought I might be a "little bigger fish" with 50 trees to take down but was told they were doing a contract for the base until first week of November, still haven't heard from them so....small fish. : (
 
Today I take my suburban quarter panel to scrap, body shop won't install and probably a good thing, my bad for accepting it. Got $180 credit at wrecking yard, that's the upside : )

Heh... I had a "contractor" give an estimate and schedule work. I purchased all the materials. He no-showed first round, then punted for various tragedies two more times. Technically I guess I didn't "fire" him since he never showed up to do any of the work. The 4th time he tried asking to delay I told him to stop bothering me. I did it myself. I grew up in the trades, worked as a carpenter before the Army and I try to spend my money in the community... But there are limits. Saved some dollars.
 
Friend just bought a shop right down the street and is looking for one.

Join the Club. Customer service in this country is almost non existent anymore. In the last 4 months, I have dealt with many inept, incompetant individuals. They would have all been fired on the first day if they had worked for me...UFB.....:mob:

You would think they could at least call back and acknowledge your call. Put on a waiting list… I think most of these guys are primarily residential jobs. Purposely looked for small, but qualified/insured. I was going to hire a guy years ago. Called his business ‘CheapTree Service’. Found out his insurance covered him for janitorial work. Umm, I don’t need the tree cleaned…:BangHead:

But right... like my brake parts... don't blow smoke... if you don't know when it's going to be done just say you don't know.

If you aren't interested in doing work for me just say so....

Had an instructor in the service who would ask a question to the group... if it was silent too long he'd say "Yes? No? F$%k You?"

I'd rather have the FU response so we can all move on with our lives.
