Terrible communication skills. I ordered a part through Paradise on May 2nd. (The employee informed me that the part was available on Amazon.com for a little bit cheaper, but I went ahead and tried to support the local shop instead of Amazon - who needs no help growing... I appreciated very much that he told me about the lower price). He told me it would take a little bit longer than normal, "7-10 days". I told him it was fine and 'that's not a big deal'. I called on friday the 11th, hoping it would be available for the weekend - no dice. The employee insisted, "No, its not here, we will call you when it's in." No problem! still within the 7-10 day window I was told.
Fast forward THREE WEEKS. I call again on JUNE 1st to check on the part. I am told I will get a call back. An employee calls me back and leaves a voicemail saying "It looks like we didn't place it on order because it wasn't available...". I call back the next business day and the employee says "it's on order, it should be in soon - we will call you when it's in." I have a familiar feeling... Unhappily, I say 'ok please call me when it arrives.'
I called last week sometime, don't remember the exact day... would be the last week of July/first week of August. The employee ASSURES me that the part is in as soon as I start talking about it. This kind of threw me off. Special order part arrives enough to be memorable to the employee and I was never called about it. I say to him, "I ordered it months ago. You never called me. A month later I call and you say it wasn't ordered, but now you ordered it, and "we'll call you!" and here it is coming up on three months now of me waiting on it and you never called." The employee says "... Right, well, it's in." Are you kidding me????
Overall, I was so disappointed in the customer service and lack of caring for a customer's needs and FOLLOWING UP WITH WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL DO.
I could have called and called and called, but I shouldn't have to when working with a reputable business. It was never my job to call about it, even though I had to call FOUR TIMES over the period of months. read more
