Shai Coggins feels Jul 24, 2008 07:58AM disappointed. 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
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 07:58AM offer to do anything about it. Just told me to return the machine if I'm unhappy with it.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:02AM jayme 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.
Jayme says Jul 24, 2008 08:03AM maybe you could buy the same machine from another store if you really want one like it.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:03AM monnie You think so? I feel like returning it, out of principle.
Monnie Jul 24, 2008 08:03AM I agree with Jayme - You could return it and try and find one at another store. It might even be cheaper - or have better service.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:04AM jayme Will definitely want to buy one. I tried this particular type & it works great. It's just bad customer service that makes me
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:05AM Thanks, Monnie. Spotlight is actually doing a promo right now on a different model, but very similar function. Cheaper by $40.
Monnie Jul 24, 2008 08:05AM I think you know already that a bad experience customer service wise means that more people will know about it than if they helped you
Monnie Jul 24, 2008 08:07AM Sometimes they have creative classes or demonstrations. If you're not already a VIP member you should register (discounts too!)
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:08AM angelisophia I do feel bad about it. I really would've felt differently if they handled this situation in a much better way.
Sasha says Jul 24, 2008 08:10AM good after-sales service retains the customer. every business should keep that in mind.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:20AM angelisophia That's the thing. Left a bad taste for sure with me. Was a loyal customer there. Now, this.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:20AM And, it's the first time I ever had to ask for anything like this.
Crizzy thinks Jul 24, 2008 08:21AM cutomer service is important, that alone suggest taking it back eh? lol
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:21AM Weird though 'cause the sales woman yesterday seemed very nice.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 08:22AM Crizzy 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
Crizzy feels Jul 24, 2008 08:47AM sad 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
Jayme says Jul 24, 2008 08:50AM Would it make a difference / would it be worth it if you call their attention about their poor customer service?
Monnie Jul 24, 2008 08:53AM Sounds like probably not if all they said was 'return it if you're unhappy'
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 09:07AM Crizzy Thanks. Dunno if it's going to be worth it. But, might sleep on it & talk to my original contact tomorrow.
Shai Coggins says Jul 24, 2008 09:08AM jayme 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.
