We ask anyone with problems with a specific vendor to exhaust all the
options before making a negative post on the list. There are a lot of
new vendors out there and the market is dotted with semi-shady
operators. Dennis is NOT one of them.
The positive part of this is that Dennis resolved the issue and your
problem is fixed.
While it's important that the members learn of vendors with which they
should not do business it's incumbent on us to proceed carefully and
not create problems for good vendors.
We only allow first hand experiences and only if they are of relevance
to the group.
The existence of low cost providers for Home Shop CNC are what allowed
this hobby to grow exponentially. Lets be careful not hurt them.
Thanks for your feedback and letting us know of the positive response!
