Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The long and short of it is that handling return stock is a typical cost of conducting business, and not all businesses approach this the same way. One theory is that more time and effort at addressing customer needs and expectations before the point of sale minimizes the need for handling returned merchandise from dissatisfied customers after the sale. The opposite theory suggests that consummation of the sale is paramount and that all customer service issues can and should be dealt with afterwards. Neither theory is really right nor wrong, just different, and various business models can support the advantages and disadvantages of either theory’s impact on profitability. The knowledge and sophistication of the customer has a lot to do with it as well. Personally speaking, in the leadership classes I teach, which focus more on service than products, I discourage the latter theory if for no other reason than it places a business in a defensive or corrective posture because much of its customer service contacts must necessarily be based upon customer dissatisfaction, which can be deenergizing to both the business and the customer. |

I never return stuff anyway. Actually, to a fault.
One time I ate the food I was served at a chinese restaurant, even though it wasn't quite what I ordered ('cuz I don't like to make waves.) I had added some soy sauce, served myself some, and began eating. A few minutes in, I'm getting chewed out by some chinese waitress who says "I charge you double!" She scoops the food back off my plate and onto the main plate, returning to the kitchen with it (no doubt to serve it to it's intended recipient.)
So much for not making waves. (Kinda like this thread.)
I just ordered the one amp, and I'm keeping it, even if I have to put soy sauce on it to like it.

Location: Taiwan | Thanks Vic, but the Vox is in the mail.
It won't really get any Balladeer time, but I posted here 'cuz I knew I'd get some response and someone would make a coconut joke.
Must agree with you on the pignose. The description actually says: "You can have a friend open and close the case to get a 'Wah-Wah' effect." - LOL
Thanks all for input. |

I really miss the VW microbus with bomber windows too! |

And I have LOTS of memories that took place in the back of a VW bus....and PANEL TRUCKS....and the famous Vega panel wagon! |
