Its also something you obviously need to learn about.

BremertonMSP said:Joe, if you can't handle the complaints, get out of the business, period. You are the one offering the product, no one forced you into this. Like the old saying goes, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
And age has nothing to do with this. I'm 41 years old, and if I order something, I expect it within a week. That is unless I'm informed ahead of time that it will take a month or two to deliver said product. Then, if I still want it, I'll order it. But at least I would know in advance what the situation is.
Also, I've seen a couple of instances where your MBC wasn't working, and it turns out there was "something" stuck in them that had to be removed before it worked correctly. Where is the Quality Assurance? But then again, I guess you don't have the time to pre-test these MBCs since you're spending your time bitching about the people who want what they ordered in a timely fashion.
You are not the end all with this product. There are others who make MBCs. The product isn't that hard to make to begin with, and you didn't invent it. You got all pissy in another thread about someone copying your design and how that took no originality. So what! Do you have a patent on this design? It' a MBC, there is no proprietary information in it.
And why even bring this up on the board? That makes you sound as bad as the people you are complaining about. Why not just email the people who haven't gotten the parts they ordered and explain to them what the problem is. Also, update your web site with projected delivery date for new and existing orders.
You will get no sympathy from me. And why should you? I didn't get you into this mess, you did.
Its called respect, and its something Joe has very much earned.

Maybe I have been spoiled by dealing with older, more mature- more PATIENT people and the MSP owners (the ones we are discussing) have been spoiled by having things handed to them, who knows. I just will not tolerate it and will refund payment and cancel orders accordingly... Too many people have hte "If I click here, it happens automatically" attitude when ordering.
Joe
Ok... and your bitching about someone bitching about people bitching. So how productive does that make you?
Flat Black said:More productive than you.
Pkay said:Thanks Joe....
So if I ordered my MBC on Sept 1st I should be seeing it by the end of the month if all goes as planned?
ND4MSP said:I may get flamed for this but here goes.
First off, the newb happens to own one of Joe's produts. And if I had just logged on in the past couple of days (which I have, but I've been reading for the past month in a half) I'd be saying **** this guy and **** his products. Don't get me wrong, Ive read most of his posts and do appreciate the fact that we have been able to pick his brain for some time now. I know s*** gets fustrating sometimes Joe. I help out a friend that owns a buisness that is struggling because he is behind from moving locations. But he thinks twice before ever making threats to pull a line or stop doing buisness with ANYONE.
While the trinkets your making right now may be a help us with performance, Flat Black may have a third car in his stable that may need some umph. I can almost bet that he'll take his buisness elsewere. could be 50 bucks could be 2000 bucks. I my self can't speak for the people that are giving you hassle, thats comes with the territory of owning a buisness.
