I can't believe you left them, and who knows how many other customers, swinging in the wind like that. I don't know how may calls Swamps had to make like the one I got, but that's a lot of crow eating gong on trying to explain that your order is done except for the programming because there was a issue and the vendor pulled anchor and took off for a week. I don't know what you're doing there, but I'm sure it's important. I hope you can find a little time to at least provide some support to a vendor of your products so their business doesn't get dragged through the mud. Meanwhile I'll just wait for another PHP product that I've paid for upfront and won't get when promised.

First of all, my family and I have a right to take a vacation. We work hard every day and there is absolutely nothing you can possibly say that is going to make me apologetic for me and Corey taking a week off to spend with our children.

Second, there was no "ISSUE" with any of our products and we didn't leave anyone "SWINGING IN THE WND", as you so eloquently put it. The simple fact is that Swamp's ran out of licenses for their FICM programmer. If they weren't aware of how many licenses they had left then that's their fault, not ours. Your beef is with them, not us. To use your analogy, if I were to go to Home Depot to purchase a hammer or a tape measure and they didn't have any because they forgot to order from Stanley, I sure as heck wouldn't be calling Stanley up and giving them crap. It's Home Depot's fault, plain and simple.

Now... what's funny is that when I talked to Jonathan today, he said that Patrick had explained to you the situation about us being out of town and that you had absolutely no problem with it and would wait until next week. However, just a few short hours later you seemed to feel completely justified to come on here and throw crap at us. You attitude at this point is so poor that I'm not going to even bother addressing it any further as it would simply be a waste of my time.

In any event, Jonathan was taken care of so you'll be getting your FICM back soon. Now you can go find someone else to annoy and complain about.

Have a safe and blessed holiday season.

You have my most humble apology for jumping the gun on you.

No hard feelings Bill. I think your product is likely some of the best out there, and I'm pleased my FICM programming is yours because I know it will perform. I just can't stand how you run the business.

You kinda lost me on this,,,,Bill takes time away from his family on there vacation to address your issue,,and you cant stand how he runs his buisness...I'm really at a loss on this..I mean, i work for them and i can honestly say that bill and corey are two of the nicest people i have ever had the honor of knowing,,and you have NO IDEA how many after hours these people pull to help customers out. So ,,if you have a problem with bill and or any other PHP employee then you just cant get along with anybody...I hate to sound rude to you and im sure your gonna come come back with something, and thats ok..
I'm just confused on your problem with how they run there buisness.. Like bill said its been stated for atleast two weeks that the office will be closed..I'm not upset just curious..

Brad, dont worry about it. I still have the original post and the issue, typed by Kwattro himself, "my product is on the way without further delay."
Bill took time away from his family on their vacation to get this issue moving and it has been resolved.

I have no issue with the hours, hardwork or kindness of Corey or Bill, in fact I'm sure they're great people. My issues with their business conduct seem to be moot point here anyway seeing that my posts have been selectively edited to the direct benefit of PHP. I can only speculate as to why someone would block that information. Perhaps cowardice or embaressment. Regardless I also have kept a transcript of all communications. My intentions were to drop this altogether and chaulk it up to a bad consumer experience, but this shadey and escapist practice of editing posts of a consumer concern to save face for the company has compelled me to share my experiences to other potential purchasers. It's a great insight into how a company and its staff will react to a tough situation.

...kid,,,,,you crack me up. You posted where not edited to benefit anybody at PHP. They where done because of your attitude,lanuage and overall bad personality.. I guess you just see things differently than others.

Say what you want but there are alot more people like me that can see thru BS.. I'm sorrry your upset because PHP closed for a week and took a vacation with there family.. Once again,,,not mad at ya,,,just confused....Have a great day and i look foward to your next complaint.

Garth,

For the record...

1) Corey and I are on vacation, but Brad, Cody and our forum moderators are ALL still available to provide assistance in our absence.

2) All our vendors have direct cell phone contact with me and if they have any issue whatsoever then they can call me any time day or night and I make sure they are taken care of immediately.

3) Cody is a full time employee of our company and is able to take all phone calls from customers, vendors, or even God himself (should God decide ). At no point has ANYONE, including yourself, been left high and dry and "swinging in the wind". Your assessment of the situation was completely incorrect and is evidenced by the fact that your problem was resolved in a timely manner.

4) You attitude from the start has been neither productive nor helpful. Your posts have been rude, inflammatory, and inaccurate and have been edited as such. We have no problem when people have complaints with our products or service and had no problem leaving your complaint about how you felt we run our business or even your previous posts about the problem you had with your upgrade.

I completely understand your disappointment with us regarding having your programmer updated, and that's fine. Your post on that issue was direct and completely justified and when I'm wrong or I mess up I take my lumps like everyone else. However, that was a few months ago and this current concern had absolutely no relation to your previous issue. Instead of simply coming in and asking for help, you chose to be abrasive and make comments that were completely unnecessary. You insist on pointing your finger at us when the fact is that despite our absence from the office we did everything within our power resolve your issue with speed and courtesy. It's obvious that in this particular situation you refuse to recognize that your harsh judgement of us may have been incorrect so there really isn't much else to say.

Again, I wish you a safe and happy holiday.
