...there's no secret. I was updating because I was really, really pleased and impressed receiving goods within 24 hrs of ordering yesterday and wanted to give a positive shout-out. I probably only live 100 miles away, but 24hrs is still a nice surprise. I have no relationship with vendor...I met him at a show for five minutes. My order yesterday was STTNG decals and sling plastics. Maybe they're easy things to get right; anyway both are good.
Yes, I can only speak from my limited experience. It's not proportional to the bad experiences shown on Pinside...but let's face it, Pinside isn't the happiest place on earth (I think it's either Finland or Disney World). I guess I did feel compelled to say something positive in the face of all this negativity about the business. Obviously, he wouldn't still be in business if he gave every customer a bad experience...so i can't be the only satisfied customer.
Anyway...lesson learned...say something nice and get wrath of pinside...I'll keep whatever positivity I have to myself from now on! (no I won't; you will never snub by niceness!!!!...really,theres not that much of it to begin with...my closest friend actually teases me as Mr Negativity, but he's never used Pinside as a barometer!!!).
Cheers everyone. Everyone get back to what you were doing!
