Did some searching, didn't come up with anything solid, so I decided to try and poll the community here to see what you guys think. I ordered a 3" High-Ball Trackball mounting kit from Westcontrols.com late last Wednesday (4/13), didn't hear anything Thurs (When dealers like LizardLick were updating things within a day), so Friday I decided to shoot them an eMail to see how my order was coming along. I got this response Saturday. "We don’t charge until it is ready to ship so it should not be a problem…we have been re-organizing the shop and have not unboxed the hi-ball kits" Ok, fine. I can understand some reorganizational delays. No problem. Well, problem is now, that it's now Wednesday again, making it a full week from order. And I still have yet to hear anything from them. I hate to be that customer that nags, etc, but when I get quick service/responses from folks like TwistedQuarter and LizardLick, this kind of timeframe is a little irritating. It's also making me worry. So what do you guys think? Should I be worried? I shot them another eMail, we'll see how that goes, I suppose. |

Personally, I think a week is way too long. I would contact them again, and cancel if it hasn't shipped yet. You are right, there are too many places that offer fast service and good communication to wait around. I think I have ordered from West before, and I don't have anything against them, but in this case, it doesn't sound like they are prepared to offer an acceptable level of service. |

They're not great for contact... I've emailed them asking if I could buy one of the SW Yoke panels without the actual yoke (got one of those already), and got no response. Doesn't necessarily say anything about their trustworthiness, but... |
| WindDrake:
I let it ride till now. Still nothing. Not acceptable. Sent an eMail to cancel and sourced the part elsewhere. Man, what a waste of time. |
| CheffoJeffo:
While I would normally say something along the lines of most vendors being hobbyists ... if you have time to answer an email, you should have time to find a trackball kit and make the customer happy. |
