[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8584653, member: 614752"] Nice try, kid, but I've been doing online retail far longer than Mike Singer. I was doing eBay since 2002 and was handling as much as 60-120 auctions per day with annual sales up around 300,000$ plus managing 50-100 auctions a week for a local charity and yes, that includes traveling to trade shows to buy inventory occasionally, packing, shipping, and everything else. About 70% of my sales were to regular customers, want to know how I got them and kept them? By being FAST and reliable. I'm telling you buyers don't care if it's at night, weekend, holiday, if they live halfway around the world... they want their stupid questions answered instantly, they want to feel like they're the most important thing in the world to you, they want what they ordered at the speed of a McDonald's drive through and if you can't give them a tracking number or confirmation the next business day after they order you had best to at least contact them to explain the delay and let them know when you will ship. At 100 sales per day it takes roughly 2 hours to respond to emails plus some time with tablet or phone while you're eating, on the toilet, or whenever you have a free minute, and as you ship orders it doesn't take long at all to copy/paste a note to the buyers. I do less retail sales these days but recently I was hospitalized with a serious injury and I was emailing buyers from the hospital bed letting them know their order will be delayed. Trust me when I say, fast communication is critical to successful online business. If you can't hack that then use a distributor or go punch a clock for a living. Jump down off of Singer's nuts for a minute and look at the facts, OP paid almost a month ago and still hasn't got his product or any explanation of where it is or when he will see it. I'd have filed a claim day 10 if I didn't see my goods or some communication. [/QUOTE]
