bassbluestew Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Am I correct in think that the Post from skidder652003 was in reply to a private email to Ken ?? If so I have to hold my hands up and say that's very dodgy behaviour. What is said in a private response to an email should be just that - private. Not for general posting. Just my opinion but I'm probably wrong. I also agree with previous postings saying Ken Smith came across quite well. In fact his point was proven over again by one of us Only when things got a little out of hand did he start to get a little - and I mean a little - tetchy Me ??? I'd have been on here with chainsaw playing keepy up with a good few heads !! S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Am I right to think this is all about a user buying a discontinued Burner model privately and wanted KS to provide replacement parts that had been broken.....??? The parts amounted to about $10 but the post was deemed OTT and not to the OP's liking..? Ok..he might be a touch miffed that he couldn't source them directly for a price he wanted to pay...but these are generally available parts from elsewhere and a decent tech would sort it all..???

JTUK Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 ok.... get someone else to fix it...the parts were never exclusive to KS were they..?? Big fuss about not a lot, IMO. If it were me... I might be unimpressed but just go elsewhere. I think someone posted that a UPS quote was ballpark correct..??? I really don't see it being worth x number of pages, though.

Just Sayin'[/quote] I read some of it..... though I couldn't go to 15 pages and counting..!!! I generally do think that mistakes happen and if you want that mistake rectified..you don't go off on one too soon into the transaction....just don't compound that 'mistake' again...if you feel so strongly about it. I also think that dealing with the U.S brings pluses and minuses with the price breaks... I have a part being replaced by warranty, for example, from the U.S. It is taking its time but we will get there in the end...post is a cost to me..!! I would have gotten a local tech to sort this out..and if he couldn't then that tech isn't the right man for the job. I am not sure it was worth this trashing..IMO.

Jesus, it's his livelihood we've been trashing here, never mind his name. Doesn't matter that - ooh, look at us, we're [i]the customers [/i]la-di-dah. Does that mean he's got to suck up [i]any [/i]abuse we chuck at him, even if we're ignorant of the background facts? Fair play to yer man for dialling it right back. I wouldn't have.
