    This was an accurate and well-written summary (and unfortunate) experience. We agree that you did not receive the customer service you or any of our customers deserve. At times it can be tricky to juggle the volume of emails and phone calls we get but it should be reasonable to expect that we would not miss as many attempts as you made to contact us. Our apologies.

    We are currently designing a new system that should streamline our process a bit more. That along with a few other things we are implementing, should enable me to fill in some of the gaps in recent customer service. .

    Thank you very much for the reply. I just wanted someone to talk to....

    I really hope that your new system works out, and you have definitely not lost me as a customer, as I covet your 900+fill power if nothing else!

    Just my opinion...... You two have had some crappy luck in the last year.. Website- employee stuff.... And the good luck of business boom, with the latter in the picture.... I hope it all comes together for ya.. Faithful customer Stan..........

    While the thread was warranted, I wanted to clarify we have 11 email correspondences with you in our history (I can't find 30, I'm sorry), and the last email was sent from me on 1/20/13, letting you know of your discount being applied and to let me know if there was anything else I could do for you. If you replied after my email, I never received it.

    That is my fault, the number 30 was counting messages through your website, emails to both you, and Adam and pms via HF...not just emails

    I may have miscounted, but it is very close to that number, but I stand corrected from the way I worded it. Sorry for that.

    OCDave,

    We almost NEVER have a sale. We do the Black Friday sale as an annual event as one way of giving back to the HF community. With our prices being what they are, and the margin that is left, we make considerably less money on the sale than most people might think. Trust me

    We thought were ready for this year but right after the sale we experienced some unexpected staffing issues that changed expected timelines considerably. We will do things differently next year.

    I think folks just need to understand the cottage industry.These people are busy doing every job involved. Measuring, cutting sewing , stuffing, admin, supply ordering, finances, ect. I know when I pay for a product at Hammock Gear that I'm going to get exactly what I want when it's finished and I don't care if I never get a word from them in between. I'm sure it's a little nerve wracking if it's the first thing you have ever ordered from them. I'm sure just like me you will be a loyal customer from now on. Can't beat two pillows and 20% off. Glad you dig your quilt. Welcome to the club.

    I agree with HamMike. Too many times,,I see members of this forum expecting everything their way, including myself,,and you have to realize, your dealing with a small dealer that is busting his/her butt for a living expecting everything your/our way. HG is AWESOME on their products and service in my book as well as all others that I have made purchases from off this forum as cottage makers and their products are best in my book. Sure we can't communicate as asap as we might like,,but that goes with the turf that these people have to work in busting their butts constantly trying to please everybody all the time. Sorry people..but the old saying goes,,you can't please everybody no matter what you try as some times, someone just falls thru the cracks. There have been a time or two, I felt like I fell thru the cracks communicating with a cottage mfger, but come to realize that there are reasons it "just happens sometimes", no matter what the excuses.

    I will say this in defense of HG,,sent a tarp back to them just a couple of weeks ago, told Jen in a email,,didn't need it for a couple of months as I had 2 others to use of which one of them was theirs (another cuben tarp I own),,got it back yesterday unexpectly with TOTAL satisfaction once again from them and they didn't charge me a dime for the repair. I am still trying to communicate with them offering to pay them for at least, some labor and shipping as I KNOW, they are busting their butts to make everybody happy, are small in business, home bodied type business, working their butts off to please us,

    Guys, take alittle time and smell the roses a bit. All of these cottage makers are here for us and we are all one big happy family in pursuit of our endevours.
