Another Outstanding Vendor

As many threads discuss concerns about a supplier, frequently regarding issues or problems, I wanted to make mention of an outstanding experience I have had.

I was cleaning up some wiring issues, (too short), and lengthing them for proper stress relief. I’m sure I got 2 wires connected wrong. As a result I am sure I burned a motor in one of the switches. Then just to confirm it was a wiring error, I zapped a 2nd one. (same location). I contacted the manufacturer and he said send to him, and he would check it out.

Last Thursday I sent 2 switch motors to NY, (from CA), I received 2 new replacement motors TODAY !!! Now thats from Ca. to NY, BACK to Ca. OVER THE WEEKEND !!! Thats quick, AND no overnight, express or extreme shipping methods! Then because I do not think it was a manufacturers defect, and I caused the problem, I had included some money, (cash) to cover return shipping, and replacement cost for 1 motor. The cash was also returned!!! I am overwhelmed!

I don’t know of anywhere, other than the suppliers of this hobby, that you would get such tremendous customer service! If you don’t know who I’m referring to, let me just say that Z switch company that makes signal lights also, is truly an Great Ambassador for this hobby!! And, they make fantastic products as well.

Don - Good to hear stories like that, gives me hope!

I had posted that a few suppliers seem to ignore the needs of the people in the hobby that provides their income. It is always refreshing to find some that are ready and willing to go that extra little bit to make sure that their customers are there to make a subsequent purchase. These suppliers should get their own pages in the magazine and applause and kudoes everywhere possible, because they are rare and they should be recognized.

This is an example of what Customer Service is all about. A couple of words that will probably disappear from Funk & Wagnalls sooner than expected.

Microscale Decal company is also quick to respond to problems. Very helpful.

Great story DON, glad it all worked out for you and KUDOs for the Company.
