Prodigy failure

[quovadis]

just a note to say that i called ALL-batteries.COM this morning and they picked up immediately and said they were TENERGY CORP.
They make the Tenergy charger and batts in their China plant.
They are out of stock for the next 2 weeks.
So don't order from them if you expect a prompt, logical, normal delivery.
Said he slapping himself twice.

I am still waiting for my charger/battery combo from them ($26.00). I ordered mine on July, 18th!
They keep telling me "next week".... Total B.S.

What the hell?

Takes China 5 weeks to produce, 10 days to load container on boat, 18 days ocean transit, 3 days to clear customs in Long beach, 5 more days transit, to Fremont CA,
3 hours unloading the container, 2 days to restock their inventory...

We may grow old!

Actually
let me call these people again tomorrow. They are obviously lying, and pulling our chain as well.
I'm getting a refund and ordering off amazon.

I emailed last night and will wait for a reply.

When I first ordered in July, they said there would the wait. They offered me a refund. I thought what's another week?... so I said "no" I'll wait.
Now it's been 5 weeks!

I not worried about losing the money (backed by payPal), but cheez.

Folks, folks and FOLKS -- You need to chill just a bit. I deal with Asia on a daily basis in my business and you have to understand the culture. Nearly nowhere else on the planet are people as impatient as those of us in North America. I use that term loosely as the Canadians are much more patient than those of us in the states. When you hear "five minutes, five minutes" or "next week, next week" they are really saying "as soon as I can get it done". It's nothing against the buyer but that's just the way it is. We have a tendency to want a precise date and time (down to the minute)
when something will be delivered but they DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

I'm just as impatient as anyone else but you just have to adapt. I'm sure I'll get slammed but oh well. Take a chill pill.

They are a US supplier all-batteries.com
They call themselves the Tenergy corporation.

The Chinese are very impatient when it comes down to giving them an order.
They hate our endless sampling sprees and development phases.

I do not agree with you.

Anyway,
we are not impatient..it's just that we hate waiting!!!

In China, they respect their elders. We in the US worry that we're going to become elders ourselves waiting for our stuff. I do have a new penpal at all-battery, though.
