Yeah they tried pulling that picture crap with me but my response was either send me the parts or I'm sending it back for a refund , I hate playing games , the parts shipped out the next day but the SOB's sent them on a slow boat from Singapore , got even with me I suppose .
Dreamreaper I'm a complete SOB when it comes to business . As a chef I was responsible for doing the purchasing at most of the places I worked . A general rule of thumb is usually 5% over for catered events and a locked headcount 48 hrs. in advance but I can't tell you how many times customers called me the day of an event wanting to up the count . A lot of purveyors start their day at 3am and shut down by noon so I would have to call a sales rep to get product after hours , most off them say no problem but a few tried telling me no , wrong answer , if I was in a small restaurant I would tell them , You know me and my background , I can leave here and be running a 2 million dollar a month operation next week and the first thing I will do is throw you and your company out on your azzes and you won't be allowed on the property or get another cents worth of business from me . I always got my product and they usually came bearing gifts as an apology . That's why I told Bronze I would have been all over FT about that SVD . I ain't putting up with BS from any vendor .
I figure if I don't get that a couple of times a week from mine I'm behind my game LOL .Cant say I blame you at all retic. I am just a complete SOB at everything, dont believe me, ask my ex-wife!
That's ok , we have a difference in perspective , as far as I'm concerned the yoyo's know what they sent me so I ain't gonna let them run me through the hoops to get it corrected , I just picture a bunch of chinamen looking at the photo and saying AHHHHH SOOO , we scwed up so velly velly solly , yeah I'm a bit twisted but got what I wanted though LOL !
Bronze being a chef is kinda like being the dictator of a small country , I didn't have to accept no for an answer and usually had 3 or more sources for any given product , the vendors are aware of that and telling a chef no unless it's physically impossible will end a career for a rep , I never asked for the impossible but I had to do my best for my customers and my sense of integrity and that's how I expect to be treated as a customer myself but I know what you mean about being worn out , but I figure if I'm not too tired to run my mouth on ECF then I'm not too tired to raise hell with FT , helps keep em in line for the next guy too .retic, my career has been replete with vendor relations. I've learned to pick my battles. As for your example, I'd make that one of my battles to be sure. A $30 SVD will get only my second best effort (or less). Sometimes I'm just too damn tired and worn out.
The hcigar 3.1 is identical design to the FT 3.1 that Leo and I have , the R91% clone you have is a different design , funny that I was calling it a R91% clone before FT changed the description to match but the KFL lite plus has the afc underneath so calling it a KFL clone was inaccurate .this one is different, the +pin sets into the base of the platform and there is another "screw" in the base platform unit that holds the + block. So if you unscrew the + pin it wont let the + block fall off... I like it
