- My experience w/Software Hut
-
- 1) They advertise products they don't sell, if you refer to an
- add, as recent as the publishing media gets, they feign lack of
- knowledge. For the last four months they have been advertising the Gloc,
- I have called them each month and tried to order them, I have been
- laughed at, hung up on, and met with the Uhhh response. I do not know if
- this is a problem with the new manufacturer or what but and honest
- response would be appreciated. When I refer to their adds in AC they
- were not handy. I did this yet once again this morning (mon am 1.15.96),
- four months is enough lead time for the publishing field. If they are not
- going to have it DON'T ADVERTISE IT.
- 2) If you have problems/doubts about the ability of the person on
- the line ask POLITELY to ask for someone who may have more specific
- knowledge in the area you are looking for. Yes they may take this as an
- insult and may hang up.
- 3) In the past before the collapse I have ordered regularly from
- them with few problems (mostly restock/switched products).
- 4) I know this sounds lame but, they have a FAX line if after
- checking availability on products and you are in doubt FAX your order in.
- Be VERY specific about what you are ordering and how much you are paying
- for it. Keep these (some fax machines combine a reduced image of the fax
- sent with its confirmation) this is admissable evidence with your Fax
- receipt.
