You know, I think before I buy anything from a particular vendor, I'll send an email to them asking about the purchase. If I get no response -- no purchase.

Something similar to this happened at work recently. I needed something ASAP, so I emailed and asked for quotes from several vendors and said it was urgent. The ONE company that we figured we would end up buying from waited close to two weeks before they responded. If they had been a little higher in price than anyone else, we probably would have purchased from them since we already had some of their equipment and were pleased with it. However, we bought from someone else that HAD answered our emails promptly, had a decent price, and a good reputation.

Chase, I agree with you. There are companies that I will deal with because of the service they have provided me or other members of my club -- the word gets around!!!
