I am sure at first chance they will run our names through the mill but we can't do anything about it. Upsetting.<< I've heard from another vendor that at least one of the "stubborn and onry" customers is an active and respected list member. We just never know what goes on behind the scenes, eh? I live in an area that is totally remote from any rubber stamping (Atlantic Canada's only stamp store is 300 miles from me) .... and so I'm very much dependent on the list vendors ...and I think I'd spend around $150/month (Canadaian ... that would be about $210 US) on rubber stamping related *stuff*. The point being that if customers don't pay their obligations to list vendors, do you think list vendors are going to stick around? The profit margin isn't so great that the vendors can comfortably absorb the losses of customers who don't pay ...and they shouldn't be expected to. And I'll tell you one thing .... if a list vendor named those non-paying customers to me, I'd have no compunctions about telling them to pay up ... privately *or* publicly. It seems that there are a few customers hiding behind the "legalese" of being publicly named ... and that is nothing short of dishonourable. If you owe a legitimate debt to a vendor on this list or to any business for that matter, and you've come by hard times, the world is not all bad. You might try working out an arrangement with your creditor, whereby you pay a little at a time, until the debt is cancelled. Remember ... if you owe someone money ... it's because they **trusted** you. Customers that *do* pay promptly and responsibly ....... my hat's off to you; the world's a better place because you're in it.

IMHO if the emails aren't responded to, then I wouldn't order. As a matter of fact, I cancelled a very large order with a list vendor because my questions / emails went unanswered. I have ordered from lots of vendors on this list and others, and you will quickly ascertain for yourself who truly cares and wants your business. A customer is a customer, being a "regular" on a emailing list has nothing to do with the fact that I have merchandise that you would like and you have the money to pay for it or vice versa.

I got her order Tuesday. Both are rapid, helpful, courteous, and a pleasure to order from. Also, if you like classic Pooh, you MUST order the new set from Ellen - they are too cool for words!!!!!!!!

And the outside said it was the 1st of 2 pkgs! The box it was sent in was a Mickey character metal lunchbox. (it was wrapped in brown mailing paper) Inside the box was a surplus of surprises! Out popped this adorable stuffed heart face with multicolored arms and legs. Then there is a pink and white shaped heart box mad out of plastic canvas! Did you make this yourself? Next was a bag of Mickey shaped cookies! They are all gone they were good. ( I shared with DH and Hannah) A Winnie the Pooh mini calendar 1998 was next. Then there are several Mickey head suckers. These are Hannah's favorites so I guess I'll be a nice Mommy and share! Wow TRIBE buddy you have me figured out! Mickey/Disney stuff is my favorite! I can't believe there is more coming! Thank you so much for you kindness. You brightened my day+) Kristen - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 19:07:26 EST From: PaperArts Subject: RubberTown: Re: RS: Vendor Non-Response <> I can't imagine a vendor not responding on purpose. We all want business. But, with the abundance of mail we all receive via this e-mail list, it is possible that the vendor could have overlooked your question. What did you title your e-mail? It is best to use the vendor's name or the product they are selling in the subject line. This will help vendors notice your inquiry and not delete is mistakenly. I hope this helps!
