A special note to those who deal with small businesses

Please send a nice inquiry of "Hey, I ordered some stuff a while ago and I haven't gotten it yet, what's up?" before you send the "I can't believe you haven't sent this, I missed Christmas and my son's birthday, you are a bunch of cheaters and stole my money, send me a refund in the next ten seconds before I report you to the Better Business Bureau". Really. Send it before you wait a month and a half for something where they've promised 72 hour shipping.

Vicki, who apparently has had the USPS lose her first package. :P

Yay! That kind of feedback, I always like.

During my little "episode" with Go Cyber Shop (which ended in threats of litigation) there were months and months of polite inquiries, which were duly ignored. My conscience is clear!

Ending with threats is reasonable. It's starting with them I hve an issue with.

Erm, well actually it ended in threats of litigation from them... o/`

Wheeee.

I got to see the 'Sea' shirt when I was visiting home this Christmas, by the way - my mother wore it on day. The end result was pretty cool!

Argh. As another entrepreneur (albeit in the service industry rather than a product creator like yourself), you have my heartfelt sympathies. As my sweetie is fond of saying to cheer me up, "Customers! Can't live with 'em... can't set 'em on fire!" ;)

Incidentally, your recent posts regarding why you like certain folks are really sweet, and I've been enjoying them. I think we don't tell folks often enough how much we appreciate them, and your posts have inspired me to try to do more of that. Thank you! ;)

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU! I can't wait to use it! It smells incredible!
