WalksIn2Trees - I did read all of the posts - from the start, and while I might not post a lot, I have been around for a while and felt that this topic was worth commenting on from a consumer perspective.
Part of what makes this great - you cant tell if it's a high school student missing their first scouting trip of a 50 year old project manger who's vacation critical path equation is getting messed up... or somewhere in between.
Observations are the same none the less.
I hate it when my critical path equation gets messed up...especially on vacation.
indeed!
Why are we back to blaiming the Custom(s) again? Does Warbonnet pay everyone here to be a Fanboy? I am throughly amazed when I see people here blaming the customer with passive aggressive comments when they have a less than stellar experience. It happened..... Warbonnet had issues for a few weeks that have since been fixed..... don't blame it on the customer that upfronted a large sum of money for a product/service that they were unhappy with ..... let's just admit it, own it and move on!
I normally jump over threads like this, but it keeps bleeping up on my radar. I figured since most of it popped up on a weekend it boiled down to a bad timing more than anything else.
As a past customer I received my order in a timely manner, and very pleased with results.
As a person that makes a living at serving others by providing my skills, time and insight into projects that effect the living situations of a client and their family and concluding it on an estimate of a time line based on past experiences is tricky to begin with. I have learned not to give just one time but two, the first being under the best circumstances; and the other a more conservative with a little grace or wiggle room if conditions change or materials are not available along with delivery conditions and hired labor. I want to provide and exceed the expectations and finish ahead of schedule and at a saving if possible. I think most people generally feel the same way. But even then sometimes things happen beyond your control and a change is as necessary and as it is disappointing. So when I see a single time, in regards to a project assigned by the project mgr. I know that is the goal and what he sold the client on, as a contractor I go over procedures and give a realistic time line with the original as the goal, but to create a buffer and rapport with the client so they can measure progress in a real world setting vs. what is on paper or in their head and not be disappointed.
So to condense my point, an estimate is just that, it can change.
As a costumer it is you duty to communicate any special conditions in advance for an expected result to avoid a possible conflict.
As a business be transparent strive to provide excellence
Communication is key to any relationship.
Patience, if you had it you will never loose it.

That is awesome. Begging your pardon, but I think I may start using this phrase when conversing with uptight co-workers.
Also, Warbonnet Outdoors has been great to deal with IMO.
