Re: [elektron] potential MD buyers beware (read in)

2002-05-28 by kenny_garlic

no doubt, the E guys have a marvelous product there - and I initially
liked the speedy and courteous eMail support too. maybe they even are
indeed so busy solving this problem that they dont find time for
anything else. 

my "problem" is rather that i have been promised the return of my
machine 3 times already. each time, i had to make arrangements so
that someone would be at home to receive the parcel (which is very
fussy for me). each time, i did not receive my md on the promised
date and they never contacted me to tell me why i didnt receive
anything. no, every time, i had to email them (2 times on average to
get one reply) and they´d say "sorry but we´ll get it to you
soon". 

it would NOT have been a problem for me at all, had they told me "it
will take 4-6 weeks" but i dont like being pushed from week to week.
