Spoken like a true little *****. You bothered posting it here, but won't bother emailing the company. You sir, are an ass clown, ass hat and all.

Seriously, the vehemence with which you make your accusations puts your credibility here on the line. You might want to rein in that mouth/keyboard of yours. Otherwise, you run the risk of having your opinions discounted, and you marginalized as just another disgruntled guy with an axe to grind.

You're doing yourself and the shop you work for a disservice by airing your issues in public. Whether it's personal or business, in the long run, you'll be better off trying to resolve your problems in a reasonable manner.

their products might be wonderful, but their business practices are shady at best. the issues i/my shop had with them are real. they change their prices at will, they don't publish prices, and they don't tell you about price increases until you get their bill, therefore, they no longer get my business.

i just called Phil yesterday (to order SLR's-- woo hoo!) and asked 'em about the cogs. The guy on the line sort of chuckled at the question, and said, "maybe a few weeks?"

in other words, they don't quite know when they might get them in.
