Default what did I say wrong!!!!

I was going to buy a shower unit of these people.... heres how it goes .

Dear shower seller

Hi, Is it possible to collect one of these shower units on Friday AM 21st? also will it fit in the back of a vauxhall vivaro van, I also require 2 sets of ten decking lights (blue) to collect at the same time, could you give me a price for these please.


Regards
Steve

-----------------------------------

Hi

We are open until Midday on the 21st as for if it will fit in a vivaro, I have no idea as we don't sell vivaros, you will need 2 metres in length.

2 sets of decking lights are £59.98

Kind regards
Andy

Dear shower seller

Hi Andy,
No need for the sarcasm as we know full well what you sell, I needed to know if it will fit in a transit(as some packaging make the size a lot larger than stated) size van or would I have needed a trailer.

Steve

--------------------------------------

Its not being sarcastic, it is a being a little light hearted as it is a bit of a silly question. Really how am I supposed to know if it will fit in your car.

Buy one from elsewhere would you as I don't want your business.

Where did I ever mention a car?? ffs

I see where you are coming from, but there was no need to mention that you thought he was being sarcastic....

simply put a second email explaining why you needed to know if it would fit would have sufficed, but hey its his loss so dont worry about it.

Sarcasm or no sarcasm he could have checked in two mins the length of the vehicle on the internet and what you are picking up...

He wont be the boss so find out who his boss is and have him sacked for being a tosser if that fails then i guess the other route would be to order 20 of them in another name and then dont turn up for them.....

If that fails then you could resort to violence i suppose....never did me any harm
Whatever happened to the customer is always right crap....

Steve. Looks like typical email lost in translation stuff.

Regardless of your comment back (as you felt he was being sarcastic) his reply back to a customer was out of order for someone in business. If he behaves like that to a prospective customer, then I'd hate to see what they'd be like if there was a problem to sort.

Stay well clear.

Just respond telling him you've passed on his details to your car club mates... He probably won't give a toss about that either, but at least we'll have more evidence of his 'stuff you' attitude.

We all have a bad day once a week, but vote with your wheels and go elsewhere...

Or a WYIOC e-mail blitz of customers asking for "vehicle size" info

LOL

P.S. He doesn't even know what a Vivaro is
Neither do I !
