A month for a corporate client or anyone? - Page 2

Craig, it has zero to do with how anyone pays for it. This is a company purchase so I couldn't really care less.

This is an inventory issue and some seem to accept it without reproach which for the life of me I don't understand. These companies don't want to warehouse product. It's not because manufacturers revise product too often it is because they don't want to carry the burden of inventory. Why should they when they have a public waiting like sheep to pay they expenses? This can't be explained away by "well they are boutique". I deal with other "boutique" products in the market place and none (repeat none) work with JIT deliver of parts. They keep a small cash and order as used to refill stock. These small companies created the term "boutique" to get us to believe these practices can be justified and are acceptable.

There is no "technical' reason why this is. It is pure dollars and cents and THAT is why I have a problem. Carry XX amount of each in case of supplier failures. Again, holding me responsible for supplier issues is bogus.

Ferrari??? Not a great analogy since no one out there makes Ferraris' or anything similar. With the exception of the lid of the book the 7700 looks just like an Sagar. Ferrari makes everything accept the rubber in their cars. They cast everything from the ground up. I am fine with that. I will pay for that up front because the parts aren't readily available in the market place. Also there is no where else to get a Ferrari. AW is buying components and putting them together. By the way the "pay up front" is for the Enzo. You can still walk into a Ferrari dealer and buy a Spider off the lot.

Holding the buyer accountable for their lack of warehousing is ridiculous. I was willing to go the month begrudgingly. Well the month is up. I paid for this system the 13th of January. It is the 11th of February and I am still in Phase 8. It hasn't even started build yet.

NK, nope a 7700 actually. Thanks.

Red, glad you give up because I don't feel like typing all that again.

Darth... LOL!!!!

Richard, PM sent. Didn't see your PM yesterday. Thanks.

Your adding a lot here express. What kind of useless comments are those? Because there are starving children in the world my concerns about my money and my expectations from a company I purchased something from should be nullified? If that were true all materialistic issues would be non-existant and the worlds progression would have stopped long, long ago.

One has nothing to do with the other. I go to church, I contribute to many charities and spent time recently in India helping with relief aid. Now does this give me a right to speak up? Probably not in your mind even though I have negated your argument.

Dont' like this thread? Fine. Don't try to discredit me or my concerns because you don't. I am proud of myself and my accomplishments in my life. I have worked long and hard for it and I help out my community as much as I possibly can. I refuse to feel guilty for it as your post would have me feel.

Agreed. And I really, really appreciate it. Richards asstance here is greatly appreciated especially after my less than flattering comments. But they weren't personal, they were business and I would love to continue this conversation with those at AW.

I just dont think ad hominem attacks are mandated in an open forum. Having different opinions is one thing and debating them is cool, resorting to calling people whiners and likening them to self involved materialist children isn't retorting a comment, it is attacking the commentor.
