This is a little note to inform everyone who plans to register
PKZip 2.04e to expect a long wait before you receive your
registered copy. I ordered PKZip 2.04 from the PKWare BBS on Jan.
9 1993. It's now Feb 7, 1993 and I've yet to receive anything from
PKWare. A bulletin on the PKware BBS informs of a 7-10 day wait
for order processing. After waiting for two weeks I called PKWare
to ask if my order had been sent to me. I was informed that PKware
did not keep track of orders, thus they had no way of checking on
my order. I was further informed that all the orders are being
shipped in the order they were received. Several subsequent calls
over the past two weeks have resulted in similar responses.
However, on Feb. 3, 1993, I was told by the customer service
representative that she would check on my order. I was asked for
a number at which I could be reached. I've yet to hear from
anyone.
If this is the way PKWare handles registrations, much is left to
be desired. The fact that they have no way to check the status of
my order is inexcusable. I would suggest to anyone who plans to
register PKZip 2.04e to call PKWare to check on how far they are
behind in shipping orders. On one call I was told they were over
a month behind. It's funny that the bulletin on PKWare BBS still
said a 7-10 days wait to process orders. If anyone else is having,
or had a similar problem, please drop me a line through E-Mail here
on Exec-pc. Thanks for listening to me grip.
