Hi, geeks,
I'm not sure whether is this the right forum to post to, coz the question is neither about nails, skin or hair specifically, but about distributors and ordering stuff. Annyhow, here it goes:
During time, let's say I heard about some gel and wax manufacturer here. And it's all oh the best and everyone is raving about lovely people that answer phones, educators, shows, which I don't doubt at all... I won't say which brands, but they really are very vell known here. And then I find their distributors in Croatia. Hu Hu! I thought, I can buy that stuff! But... took me a month to get someone to send me their price list and when I finally got it, they said - waxes aren't here yet, and won't be till the end of the month! And they did not have them month ago either!!?
And that nail company distributor. I want to attend their, not anyone elses, but their acrylic course. And I'm not asking about the price, I'll come, I'll pay. But... "The boss is not here, I don't know anything. Let me take a message". Then I leave the message and nothing for weeks. Then I call again, and then "The boss said, the course costs XY $, and I don't know anything else, we'll call you". And then I wait. And then nothing. Silence of the lambs.
And then I sent them to hell and went and bought from others.
I really didn't mean to whine or cry here for sympathy, but - what to do in such situations? I thought, does this manufacturer knows what is this distributor behaving like? And what would he say? There are distributors in neighbour countries, but why would I travel and pay much more or order with higher shipping when there are legitime distributors 20 km from me? Huh.
Thanks
