I've been sitting back and reading the Bus Boys/Jim Thompson/Rob Clay/Anylistmember
who wanted to jump in ORDEAL.
I find it strange that after so many of us have sent BB's $4.00 Or $5.00 OR whatever
the Catalog cost is, and HAVE NOT received a catalog then WHY would you call and order
PARTS from them?
There are a few Honest and Fair people that are Easily Reachable via E-mail and will
respond to your e-mail and even ship out your order ON TIME, or at least when they say
they will!
Granted I've not been around the "List as long as Bus Boys, but I've been serving
the people that contact me as fast and fair as possible. I offer Deals frequently on
Expensive parts, and I'm always looking to find that special deal to "Pass On" to the
list or anyother lucky person in need of that part.
I'm seeing Many post's about Ron NOT Responding as quick as you ALL think he should.
Well, doing this type of a business is NOT easy! I work 40 Hours a week in the
Repair shop,(Volks Cafe) I then add about 35-40 running the "Volks-Motorsports"
Business. Try that one on for size. I'm not bragging, I letting the people that
Don't Know that providing this type of a service can be tough at times. Most people
want the cheapest price on the best part availible to them. I and a few others try
our Damndest to do this for you.
Ron is suffering from the early stages of creating a system that works for him in my
opinon. I used to be BURIED with e-mail and never making any forward movment to
satisfy the "Customer". Sometimes the best thing to do is to point that customer in
the direction that they'll get the peticular part they need, Instead of spending too
much time and neglecting other peoples orders. This is a fine line. If I send you
the direction that you'll find Exactly what you're looking for, Won't you check with
me in the future the next time you have a need? Usually a person will.
I've been a bit slower than normal, I'm not sure if it's the UPS situation or that I
Pissed somebody off? Either way I uncurage All people Looking for parts to check ALL
their resources and see what the different people have to offer.
I also don't post as much to the list as some of the other "Vendors" do due to the
fact that in the past I was given a tough time. I am almost afraid to post to the
list sometimes because I'm worried that I'll piss somebody off and start something
similar to the Bus Boys Ordeal. I think WE have better things to post to the list.
The list and the Internet are 2 tools that we ALL have access to utilize. I know
that I can go anywere and the List is going to be there to help me, In the same aspect
that I've been here for other listmembers while they were in my area.
Anyone that needs parts that seems to NOT be finding what their looking for, e-mail
me. I have more resources than most and If I don't have it I probably know were to
find it.
Thanks for listening to my once every other month posting:)
