Shai Cogginsfeelsdisappointed. When sales showed me the sewing machine yesterday, it had an auto threader. When I set up mine, it doesn't. Shop won't even

July 24, 2008 at 07:58Shai Cogginssaysoffer to do anything about it. Just told me to return the machine if I'm unhappy with it.
July 24, 2008 at 07:58Shai CogginssaysNow considering returning it.
July 24, 2008 at 07:59JaymesaysMaybe you should. That's bad customer service. Tsk, tsk.
July 24, 2008 at 08:00MonnieI think you should return it
July 24, 2008 at 08:02Shai Cogginssaysjayme Yeah. If they at least offered to do something about it (store credit, etc), I would've been okay with it. But, now... Bad taste.
July 24, 2008 at 08:03Jaymesaysmaybe you could buy the same machine from another store if you really want one like it.
July 24, 2008 at 08:03Shai Cogginssaysmonnie You think so? I feel like returning it, out of principle.
July 24, 2008 at 08:03MonnieI agree with Jayme - You could return it and try and find one at another store. It might even be cheaper - or have better service.
July 24, 2008 at 08:04Shai Cogginssaysjayme Will definitely want to buy one. I tried this particular type & it works great. It's just bad customer service that makes me
July 24, 2008 at 08:03Shai Cogginssayswant to return it.
July 24, 2008 at 08:05Shai CogginssaysThanks, Monnie. Spotlight is actually doing a promo right now on a different model, but very similar function. Cheaper by $40.
July 24, 2008 at 08:04Shai CogginssaysBut, not sure if that's better than the one I have now.
July 24, 2008 at 08:05MonnieI think you know already that a bad experience customer service wise means that more people will know about it than if they helped you
July 24, 2008 at 08:05MonnieYou know that Spotlight have sewing workshops sometimes?
July 24, 2008 at 08:07MonnieSometimes they have creative classes or demonstrations. If you're not already a VIP member you should register (discounts too!)
July 24, 2008 at 08:08Shai Cogginssaysangelisophia I do feel bad about it. I really would've felt differently if they handled this situation in a much better way.
July 24, 2008 at 08:10Sashasaysgood after-sales service retains the customer. every business should keep that in mind.
July 24, 2008 at 08:14Grumbasaysreturn it- they are sods!
July 24, 2008 at 08:20Shai Cogginssaysangelisophia That's the thing. Left a bad taste for sure with me. Was a loyal customer there. Now, this.
July 24, 2008 at 08:20Shai CogginssaysAnd, it's the first time I ever had to ask for anything like this.
July 24, 2008 at 08:21Crizzythinkscutomer service is important, that alone suggest taking it back eh? lol
July 24, 2008 at 08:21Shai CogginssaysGrumba Wish I can say that to their face.
July 24, 2008 at 08:21Shai CogginssaysWeird though 'cause the sales woman yesterday seemed very nice.
July 24, 2008 at 08:22Shai CogginssaysCrizzy It is. And I wish they really handled this differently. I hate feeling bad about a place. I tend not to go back once I've been
July 24, 2008 at 08:23JaymesaysI guess they're nice when you don't buy it yet.
July 24, 2008 at 08:23Shai Cogginssaysdisappointed.
July 24, 2008 at 08:23Shai Cogginssaysjayme seems like it. Don't want to be jaded, though. But,
July 24, 2008 at 08:47Crizzyfeelssad that Shai's disappointed, maybe they will learn from this? I think you deserve to be happy with what you get and the service included
July 24, 2008 at 08:50JaymesaysWould it make a difference / would it be worth it if you call their attention about their poor customer service?
July 24, 2008 at 08:53MonnieSounds like probably not if all they said was 'return it if you're unhappy'
July 24, 2008 at 09:07Shai CogginssaysCrizzy Thanks. Dunno if it's going to be worth it. But, might sleep on it & talk to my original contact tomorrow.
July 24, 2008 at 09:08Shai Cogginssaysjayme Yeah - not sure. But, will see if I can talk to someone again tomorrow. After that, I'll make my final decision on what to do next.
July 24, 2008 at 09:09Shai Cogginssaysmonnie Yeah - that really got to me.
