[QUOTE="Shinneryfarmer, post: 3798056, member: 46291"] Usually when making a deal with any business on large ticket item I make my expectations known up front due to past experience. 1k and above is a large ticket item to me. I explain if we make a deal what I expect from them ( ie. Delivery date, notification before time if gonna be late 30 minutes, etc. if time agreed upon. Blowing me off and not communicating results in stop payment of check and they can keep it.) Made a deal on a backhoe last fall that a hyd. cylinder would be rebuilt or replaced and a delivery date. Delivery date they showed up and unloaded backhoe with leaking cylinder. Called sales person was told they forgot and would have someone come by tommorrow and fix. 7 days later called him back to inform him no one showed and to come get his backhoe. His response was "Don't you mean your backhoe" I said no it is yours because you didn't follow thru with the deal and when it showed up with leaking cylinder I put a hold on my check. I haven't paid for it so it's yours come get it. [/QUOTE]
