I always request that they call me if the quantities will vary from what I've ordered, and they always do. One lady calls just to say HI and let me know that everything I ordered is available. And because the larger stores won't do that, I don't buy from them anymore. There are many smaller places online, all with good prices and great service. We don't have to accept bad or indifferent service.

I have never had it cancelled for no reason. There has always been a reason provided.

I have to do all my shopping online and have found the shops to have excellent customer service and will always call if they have a shortage. I must give five stars to batiks.com,who are absolutely wonderful.

I will have to check what they charge my card when I see the cc statement, so beware of their pricing.

Yep , I have had items cancelled on an order... it really chaps my ... when that happens. The one that I found did it more than once to me ... has not recieved an order since. No call to see if I wanted to substitute... no "gee we did not have the inventory we thought" ... nothing ... A bad way to have a transaction close .. with the buyer dissappointed.
I was always taught that in the general rules of retail it takes more $$$ to get a new customer than to keep existing one happy. |
That's really unfortunate Lori. And you're absolutely right, it definitely costs less to keep a current customer happy, which makes it all the more inexplicable. But at the end of the day, as customers, our strongest tool is leveraging our ability to give someone business - so the "next-steps" are pretty self-explanatory from here on out.
However, I assure you that not all fabric store owners are the same. Try not to be too disappointed by your experience and go out and explore some new and other online stores! -Shawn |
