10 days VS 12 minutes

As an old fart I am not into all that social media stuff, you know, Hash tags,Instagram, Tweetes, Twerks, Facebook all that stuff and I don't have any accounts with any of them. This is about as social I get..

When I have a problem with a product I always go to "contact us" page and send them an E mail or call but that usually ends up in INDIA!

Well this just happened,had a problem, went to the "contact page" which brought up a E Mail form. I filled it out with my problem and sent it.
10 days later having not heard back I mentioned it to my daughter.

Her response to me was" Do they have a Facebook Page?" Well they do and she copied my Email and said that she had tried to contact them with an E mail when that failed she thought that a post to Facebook might be in order.

Within 12 minutes there was a reply apologizing for their lack of response and an offer to make it right and throw in some extra stuff..... which I gladly accepted.
I guess that I'm gonna have to get one of those.:B hahaha.

  • Companies that post public email addresses often don't reply. When an email address is made public it's instantly spammed with 1000's of junk emails a day. Your email gets lost in all of it. For this reason Facebook may reach someone easier than an email.
  • You must be an old fart. You wrote cohesively in Paragraphs and used proper grammar. :)
  • I got a response from Scottrade on Twitter. They had a glitch in their webpage and I got them to fix it so that I could post market conditions on my website.

  • Last thing I learned on Face Book is how fouled mouthed my 30 grand daughter and 10 year old grandson are.

    I always check those,that is one thing I learned a long time ago. :B

  • Be careful if learning to TWEET with your daughter. Try to find someone your age like a neighbor lady that you've been yearning to meet. You know, one that your wife approves.
  • Glad it worked.

    I've found that many businesses provide email addys and contact forms, which is nice. Problem is, many of them simply don't work, or the business doesn't respond.

    Why bother to put up contact forms?
