OK, this is a pretty negative thread (not complaining, it SHOULD be negative according to the title.... ), and I had myself a little rant here recently (checked today on that, no word back.... color me surprised).
But I normally have things go pretty well in life; sure all the usual ups and downs and little problems but really, it is great living here in my little corner of the world.
Yesterday I had something happen that was outside the bounds of 'pretty good' that I want to share: I had ordered a selection of items from a small business in AZ, which I think is basically a one- man show. I have dealt with this man before, and he has always provided excellent service, with excellent products, good delivery, and so on. And a nice guy to chat with too boot. But this last order was a bit complicated and involved, so it took a few days to put together. The next thing I knew, I got a notice from UPS telling me a package was coming from that company. Nothing unusual about any of that except, I had not yet paid for it! Amazing.
So I gave him a call thanked him for shipping the order and mentioning that I had not paid for it yet. He said no problem- how did I want to pay for it and was I ready to do so now (?!?!?!?). Again, amazing, so I asked him if he was concerned about receiving payment at all and he replied not in the least: he knew I would pay him, soon, and the only question might be in which manner.
So for all the hatred and bad business going on, here is a guy who just sends out his product, at least in some cases (I was a previous customer so he may not do that for everyone but I do not know) without payment or even a payment method in place.
