Good News, Accessories turned up today.
The tracking number is different to the one I was emailed and reported cancelled, so I can only assume that Pimax shipped this twice and cancelled one, unfortunately I had the number that was cancelled.
I have seen this said many times before and again, Pimax you really need to understand the customer experience and improve on this.
In the late 90’s I worked for a PC manufacturer who went from number 5 to number 1 in a few short years, they had a huge drive on customer experience at the time, to the extent that they tied all order data to customer experience data in their data warehouse, the CEO was driving staff to ensure consumer experience was positive.
Good products and good customer service/support are what brings customers back. Lose too many customers and your business will surely suffer.
I work on an RF and communications engineering platform (software). Our main company goal is to help our customers succeed with their projects. That brings them back for more “seats” of our software and drives upgrades too.
It’s a good policy and it has helped us avoid the worst of the current economic downturn. (Companies feel that they need us, so that they can succeed in this tough market.)
