Vendor Ban!!!

[JudeD]

Look you miss the whole point vaping is trying to stop smoking or it keeps people from smoking, it saves lives everyday so you guys are right they are a different type of buiness a buisness where other people depend on them and when it comes to stop smoking it should be very important, I do have the right to say anything I want since I have given them my money for a service a service, that myself and all others depend on. It doesnt matter how small they are, thats the problem, these people are trying to run a buiness on a shoe string when others are depending on them giving them their money and like I said they are making a lot from us and its not right, when people are trying to \stop smoking and depending on them. Example if you are confused......When someone who is trying to stop smoking there is that urge to fall off the wagon, analogs are very addictive so that person starts to depend on a vendor, they wake up and need juice bad go online and guess what its closed, so what do they do, they go right down to the store and buy a pack of ananlogs because they needed help from that vendor.This is not a game and it is important to many many people a buisness in this field should stop and think about it before they even get into it, if they can not come through for their customers, ban them all!!!!

That's why you re-order before you are so low on juice that you run out and feel a need to buy smokes. It's called planning ahead. Backup, backup, backup. Do you have no responsibility in this? Are vendors supposed to sit by their computer 24/7 waiting in case you realize you forgot to order juice and need it shipped immediately? How unrealistic is that? If you are serious about not smoking, make sure you have the tools you need plus some so you never run into this situation. If you really feel a vendor is unreliable, go ahead and ban them. Just don't expect others who are more patient and more prepared to join you.

Good luck!

BTW, what would you propose we "Ban" them from?

FROM THE INTERNET. Call the internet police!

Seriously OP, get over yourself. If you have a problem with it order elsewhere. This tantrum is unbecoming.

You certainly have the right to say anything you want. If you ban a business until "they learn", won't they be out of business? I have a small business in which I'm the sole owner. Until it reaches the size I can hire help, I have to run it alone. My business is good one day, not so good on another. How can I justify extra help until it stabilizes?

Only a large retailer with huge capitol reserves can stand capitol loses. I can't afford that luxury.

Sorry, but I think few will heed your suggestion.

It's not the business's fault that the customer cant properly manage their supplies. It's simple, order more before you run out. But these days everyone is looking for someone else to blame for their shortcomings. It they're fat, it's the fast food's fault. If they're poor, it's their job's fault for not paying them enough, or the government's fault for not raising minimum wage. If you run out of juice it's the business's fault for no being available to your every beck and call. Idea: stop eating food that makes you fat, work harder and make more money, and order more juice before you run out. Easy Peezy.

Op, you mis-understand. Most if not all of us have experienced the things you worry about. We still respect the efforts of small business to supply what we demand.
I for one hate having to order from several different places. However, I have learned MY needs cover a vast number of suppliers and no one reasonably priced vender can stock all I need. I adapt - not demand.
If you place all your eggs in one basket and drop said basket - IT is all on YOU, not the baskset.
Stock up and feel safe.

I also help noobs 10 in the last 30 days. I keep starter kits and extra basic e-liquids. I don't go oh shoot, their Closed!

No I didn't miss the point at all!

My business ... my rules. If you don't like it ... stick it! (strait forward way of saying how every business on the planet operates)
My company closed on weekends, my lawn needed mowing too. Besides I had to get the BBQ lit.

I don't shop at online vendors who have delays, run out of juice or shut down their site after a certain time or when they are sick. To me, it's just unprofessional. That's just my opinion. There are popular juices that run out constantly when there is unlimited supply of the product to make it. I can order a 50 gallon drum of PG and VG and as much extract/flavoring as I want. I can order the flavor extracts in large quantities. There is no reason that a so called reputable company is running out of a product after they know it's a popular product that is going to sell fast. Not only is it a let down for the consumer, but it's really a bad business move when you as the owner know you can make money hand over fist just by simply having the product available. It just baffles me.

Like I said stop smoking is serious buisness and thats fine with all your comments and what will happen is big buisness will take over sooner or later, we all know thats in the works and the small ones who could not keep up or do things right will just go away, so I guess no ban is needed.....

 

[chellemmm]

We as a community should see the main point in this and if you dont you could be vaping for the wrong reason. If you just missed the whole point, trying to help someone stop smoking, those comments where for your own selfish reasons and not one person above said anything about the main issue!!! Vaping is trying to stop smoking or it keeps people from smoking, it saves lives everyday so you guys are right they are a different type of buiness a buisness where other people depend on them and when it comes to stop smoking it should be very important, I do have the right to say anything I want since I have given them my money for a service a service, that myself and all others depend on.

(NOBODY is confused, just amazed.)

WHA? Sounds like poor planning on YOUR part...If an online vendor is closed, go buy an analogue stinky??? With all of the prevalence of disposables at every mini-market/7-11/corner drugstore? If an online vendor is closed, use another one. They don't ALL close at the same time. Sheesh. You sound like a crazy person. Even doctors are not on call 24/7 and saving lives is more important than satisfying your nicotine cravings. Maybe you need to put a patch on it...

It is called Business balance. If you concentrate on only 1 desired request and that demand is fulfilled what do you fall back on? You plan for Now and the Future or you go out of business.

@Op - Yep just add it to Walmart

People really are blind to life

 

[onry]

ok serious question.
Do you only order from one vendor?IF not why would you limit someone that you are trying to help get started to only one vendor?
i mean its not very often after all you can get everything you want at one place.

 

[Rocketpunk]

Man, people will complain about anything these days.

 

[Johnnie Price]

Seriously, what is it you need so bad that one or two vendors shutting down for a couple of days puts you (or anyone) in such a bind?

 

[eratikmind]

Man, people will complain about anything these days.

Ahhhhh . . . Shut up, you! Lol

It's not like your buying a pack of smokes where you just run down to the corner store. Have the common sense to stock up and have a cpl different go to suppliers.

 

[JJOOHHNN]

Personally I realize that some vendors are small spare room bussinesses. I am all for supporting that. Then again I do think that if they are getting so backed up. Hire yourself a college student or your neice or someone to help out for a few days. Happy customers is money in the pocket.

If you are a one man business it is not as easy as you think. The costs if hiring someone has really gone up and I have watched several businesses go under because of this. It is painful unless you break the law. The paperwork can take more time than the work is worth.

 

[flintlock62]

You're right, no ban is needed. Small businesses can't become big businesses without customers.

Like I said stop smoking is serious buisness and thats fine with all your comments and what will happen is big buisness will take over sooner or later, we all know thats in the works and the small ones who could not keep up or do things right will just go away, so I guess no ban is needed.....

 

[echofinder]

And here we have the modernist dilemma: people expect immediate service, huge inventories, and full shelves - all the time. These expectations can only be met by very large companies with boatloads of money and employees. Yet, we decry the death of small business and the evils of corporate culture.

Why don't you open a business and solve the problem?
