Review:
A rather up and down experience this last go round. I'll say this though: I got exactly what I ordered and paid for - I just got it about 5 days after I should have. It was a very big order too. I am going to be very specific on the back and forth so you can get a true sense of what happened. Again - bottom line: I got it and it was perfect once it arrived. Quantity and quality sharp and in this game those are the keys (to me at least). Timing and price are also very important but at the end of the day if you get what you paid for and it is good quality be happy. Just my $0.02.
So, in anticipation of going away for a couple weeks I planned way ahead with all of my go to vendors for everything I needed. 2 of the 3 came through right on time no sweat no questions no hassle. I contacted Fern last Wednesday (9 days ago now - 10/12) telling him what I needed, that I would be sending donation on Friday (10/14) and to please confirm availability and pricing. He was responsive but not specific as to availability and price - basically just "I'll take care of it" which sort of could maybe be read to agree with my proposal but not really - also needed some other specifics on donation destination clarified. In any event, he then went silent for the better part of 4 days until Monday (10/17) when I finally heard from him that his internet was down but that he now was back. Got about 40% of my order on Wed. (10/19). Then supposed to get the rest yesterday (10/20) but he had car trouble and could not get to the shipping post to get it out. Finally shipped the 60% remainder yesterday and I got it this morning (10/21).
Will continue to use Fern and just understand that everyone goes through some bumps in the road. I should also say that the prior 4 orders were more or less flawless. So this is an outlier.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
