Re: My Dakota Address is shutting down with little notice!
@Mr.ed Yes Terri was always helpful and very nice. And they did what they said they would do. BUT and it is a BIG one...Giving your customers ONE days notice of the closing of your legal address has to be seen by anyone fairly assessing the situation as just out of bounds. It has enormous consequences for many. I fully understand the financial reasons for limiting the notice on a closing like this. But there is a responsibility ethically to your customers and One Weeks notice would not have hurt them and would have allowed many to recover much easier. And frankly resulted in less hassle and work for Terri and her husband. Also it would have left them with a much more positive reputation than what will be rendered by closing like this. Now in fairness to them I will say that after a couple of attempts at contact I got an answer from Terri regarding my questions, my mail and the change of address. She has been responsive. However Dakota Post seems to be the holdup now. Terri has made every attempt so far to help us resolve this matter and get us a new address. She is doing everything I think in her power at this time. However this all could have been avoided. One Weeks notice would have given even me time to recover as I would have been somewhere that communication was far faster and easier than my present location. It is sad to see anyone’s dream lost or any business fail and I am sympathetic to their predicament. I do wish them well and hope they recover from this.783Views0likes0CommentsRe: My Dakota Address is shutting down with little notice!
Let me clarify that I do beleive overall this is a big problem with some serious consequences for many people. Some issues that spring to mind are: What happens to people’s renewal notices for vehicle registrations that are due in August as mine are? What happens to money that may have been paid to MDA for postal services that will not be rendered? What could be the reason for a ONE DAY NOTICE of a complete shutdown of a company? In my long business experience a company knows well in advance it is in financial trouble. The only reason for such short notice that I can see, at least without further explanation from MDA, is they wanted to conserve as much income as possible before notification. This could also affect some Credit Card accounts via the address and if this is your sole “home” address this change will make it appear that you have moved.783Views0likes0CommentsRe: My Dakota Address is shutting down with little notice!
I just got this email today the 30th. To complicate matters I am in Greece at the last 15 days of a 4 month trip to Europe. While the change of address with the postal service can all be made online and is not really a problem what concerns me more is WHY did this business so suddenly go out of business? This is a highly unusual scenario. Were they shut down by the postal service? Does anyone have any information about this? I get very little mail there but the big reason I use them is my SD address and renewing my vehicle plates. A notice of one day is not only highly unusual it is highly questionable.783Views0likes0Comments
