Mike, it is Sebastian's absence - not your presence - that is the issue. Sebastian is a naive and very very bad businessman
Mike my absence here and there is a prove for totally opposite, businesswise we are so busy with so much projects around in progress that we don't have time to sit on monitor and watch every post movement on Scuba Board (although it would be great to have that much free time)
You say don't make the promises you can't keep ...
Exactly right that's why you don't see any here !
When I stopped at their booth at BTS, it was biz as usual. Demos in full swing. When I asked about availability, he started to lie again about that magical timeframe
Of course because that's our job as a distributor to present the products of manufacturers we represent and we take pride in representing the ones that we do !
If it comes to the magical time frame, not sure which one of us you have talked to but since months we only informed about nearest "planned" shipment from xDeep, but it doesn't mean you will be found among of incoming batch.
"I don't know" and I could accept that. But...bs'ing us over and over again is inexcusably bad business practice.
"I don't know" ??? This is (for me) the worst you can hear from any business. You won't hear that from me, promise. We business operate always on some info regardless how accurate it will come out, we can't just don't know.
I asked him why he had stopped responding on SB - his response? "The guys on SB are out to get me. I'm no longer interested in doing that".
Not quite, point here is if you have an order with us or any other xDeep dealer you know what we know, those information will be very inaccurate and not valuable for divers with no order not knowing how much customers is before them. Its like saying (to customer with no active order) you may be able to get one somewhere from now and two years on. If you asking about general availability of BLACK'S its here:
xDEEP Diving Equipment; Scuba Gear - xDEEP BLACK availability note (posted months ago by manufacturer). Keep looking for update.
If you have order which we don't require upfront payment for you will get updates based (read carefully): on what we are told.
Have a great evening everybody and thanks to all xDeep customers and TecDiveGear.com customers for support and business in 2014 !
