Brief summary:
I'm deaf, I use an relaying service to make phone calls. I called your company and got hung up upon twice, and then got the impression that Tim might have been clueless about the products that he sells. Not happy with the customer service I received.
Solution suggested: Give a quick lesson to the phone CSR on how to answer phone calls without rudely hanging up. Explain that there are some deaf customers out there that have to use a relaying service to make phone calls and that CSR's should at least hear these phone calls out before assuming that we're scammers or telemarketers and hanging up on us.
With my last order, I had problems with being misquoted shipping prices and then being stiffed with a higher shipping price (Hawaii) in the end.
Now I'm wondering again about making yet another switch...aranoid:
