I'd love to see what kind of a "a-holes" some of the commentators on this thread would be if they went into a bricks and mortar kite shop, paid for an item in cash, were handed a bag - and then when they got home, discovered the item they paid for was not in the bag but instead a rock with a note saying "ordered" tied to it.

Bottom line - IF YOU TAKE THE CASH, PUT THE PRODUCT IN THE BAG! How simple is that?

For insectman to say anything other than "Oops sorry for the confusion and smearing your name without merit" just shows how low a being he is. Lets see how much further he digs.

It (the price) was right there in the link I sent you with the opportunity for you to buy it yourself and me refund your purchase cheerfully.

Feeling kind of stupid are we? Are we punk?

If you take the cash, put the product in the customer's bag.

Simple, see? No degree required.

Better keep that day job for a while.

I think this insect dude needs a leash alright. A very short one that will keep him away from the keyboard for a wee while.

Here is the email to Bill Burke. Dealers are asking me for his name so they can keep a look out . This is the e-mail where he said that my efforts to find an alternate source were OK

OK here

No worries ;-) Thanks for the update Angus.

Have a great day.

Oooops, sorry Bill; I was to have dropped you a note to tell you that these new leashes are inbound to me from HQ and will be here tomorrow. I normally stock all common control gear components and accessories, but these are new products just out. I will ship immediately via Priority Mail and that will be just two days for you. Sorry for not communicating sooner. You will get confirmation and tracking e-mail when it hits the mail system.
Thanks for your business.

Angus

Keep digging that "Book", Angus old boy.

The issue isn't alternate sourcing. The issue is taking cash for a product you DIDN'T DELIVER.

At the time I said "no worries" I didn't realize you'd dinged my CC. I discovered that last night just before I saw you'd been posting here on PKF... but hadn't bothered to reply to the Email you'd read at 0500 yesterday morning.

Maybe you was but fact is you didn't. And you should have BEFORE dinging my CC for the undeliverable product.


DON'T TAKE THE CASH UNTIL YOU PUT THE PRODUCT IN THE BAG

Simple, See?

Maybe you just need some repetition for learning reinforcement. Now repeat after me:

I WILL NOT TAKE THE CASH UNTIL THE PRODUCT IS IN THE BAG
I WILL NOT TAKE THE CASH UNTIL THE PRODUCT IS IN THE BAG
I WILL NOT TAKE THE CASH UNTIL THE PRODUCT IS IN THE BAG
I WILL NOT TAKE THE CASH UNTIL THE PRODUCT IS IN THE BAG

Seriously bro squash it ...GO FLY A KITE and relax a little. Whats done is done. You got your money back and you learned you don't like to use paypal. At the end of the day its all good.

dude, you got your (plastic) cash back. Get your short leash and step away from the keyboard. Step away from the keyboard.

He's going through withdrawal, lets help him out.

angus is a good guy so let it go dude.....there are WAY to many people on here that need to do a little kiting and relieve some stress......now get your ARSES OUT THERE!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!:wee:

I for one would like to point out that this is not the proper place for this. And it is very disrespectful to the Original poster, who had a legitimate thread going. For the insect dude to turn this into a personal customer support whine line is ridiculous and just wrong. Apologies to sp4cem0nkey for the complete trashing of your thread,I know this isn't what you wanted to learn about the biz. I guess if ya work around the general public, your bound to run into people w/ attitude disorders and such. Comes w/ the job!

If you don't want to answer this, I understand, but on average, how many kites do you sell per day?

Admin - if you would please, this needs to end. I just read this all beginning to end - should of all been done with u2u contacts and not on this thread. The thread could simply be reposted and started over - if a certain someone continues on their public tantrum then they can be properly dealt with. This is a forum of opinions that work towards further enlightening all its members, not a place to belittle and paint the walls with crap.

And really, over a kite leash?

Regardless if it's a $50.00 kite leash or a $5000 quiver of kites, the principle is the same.

Whether engaged in via the Internet or via Bricks and Mortar, the rules of good commerce are the same and apply in either context.

DON'T TAKE THE CASH UNTIL YOU PUT THE PRODUCT IN THE BAG

sp4cem0nkey, are you still around? Have you spent any $ yet on the new business? Don't let the customer from hell dictate your love of the sport, they come and they go. 99.9% of the people on this forum know who is who and will continue to do business as usual. I, myself would love to accommodate the pesky little bug if he wanted to buy from me, the Raid is in the bag at no charge, FREE.
Insect0man, We get it, We will place the item in the bag, ship it out and then charge your account. Oops, sorry I forgot, don't the stores make you pay before its in the bag?
Relax, breath deep and smell the bug spray...

Originally posted by bigkid Oops, sorry I forgot, don't the stores make you pay before its in the bag?

My observation is that generally the items are placed in the bag as they're rung up; then I pay for them and they let me take the bag out of the store.

Maybe stuffing the items under your shirt and sneaking out of the store is more your style? Perhaps that's why you can't remember how it works.

"bidness as usual", yeah, I hear some folks are real excited about the sub-prime enterprise returning to "bidness as usual" too - but that doesn't make it any more ethical than it's ever been. It is what it is.

So you go ahead and do business as you see fit. If and when the industry grows - the market, not you and the PKF fraternity, will decide which business practices it likes, or doesn't.

Amazon already appears to be testing the smaller power kite waters; and it's vendors are vetted by customer review -not by a good-ole-boy network that enjoys temporary control of a niche market.

And RAID? Wow, creative - NOT.

No terrorist threat style points for you! Mail white powder to any Federal agencies lately, super genius? :moon:

OK, it's time....

Practice what you preach, much, furballski?

Feeding that long unsatisfied desire to be the teachers pet, perhaps? Run along now and go water the sweatshop or something.
