I've been a loyal customer to a local shop for the last 4 years now, I started with them, and only recently, the last 9 months or so, have I been getting fed up with the service there. In the last 3-4 years I've easily spent $7k - $10k in there. I called last week, looking for pricing on a new wing. I've been in the market for the last month or so, looking for an upgrade to my old banded OMS. It came down to the 60lbs non banded OMS, and the Halcyon Explorer 55lbs. When I called the shop, i got the owner that answered. He gave me pricing, which was very good, for the OMS, he doesn't carry halcyon. When I asked how long it would be to get it, he essentially told me off, complaining about how he just placed an OMS order, and it would be several weeks before he would be placing another. He went on to complain about how customers want things " right now " and how he's fed up of " losing money " to bring in just one or two items that he doesn't stock. Needless to say this entire experience put a bad taste in my mouth towards this shop, and I ended up buying the Halcyon, from a competitor of his, who was both very pleasant to deal with, and had the product in stock. Maybe I caught him on a bad day, but he won't be seeing too much business from me in the future!!
