a question about etiquette.

[skofan]

i'll probably soon try out an online source, but before i do i have a couple of quick questions.
would it be right to post my experiences on this board? (nothing on packaging or shipping locations ofc.) or is it best to keep good sources quiet?
if something seems fishy, wait 30 days, contact source, wait a couple of days, if still no response tell the board about it? if there is a response, then wait a couple of weeks more, then tell the board?
anything else i should/shouldn't tell others about?

If something seems fishy, I would contact the source immediately.

If no response from the source after....shit....24-36 hrs I would start by contacting vets to see what their opinion was. Make sure the vet understands your wishes on whether you want it posted to the board or not.

Just like any business you should be able to tell by there customer service. If you get no response that not a good sign

If you are having problems contacting a supplier make sure you try another email provider. If you get a response from that then let them know you are having issues with your other e-mail provider. Make sure they know who you are, order placed, and you need some feedback. If they stop replying to your new e-mail you might have a problem.

i think i might need to clarify the question. im asking for the proper etiquette for telling others about my experiences with the source, not the etiquette for communicating with the source.
im pretty sure that me and the source are interested in the exact same sort of communication. as little as possible, as private as possible, with only necessary information shared, and nothing else.

If its a good source then stfu... Why put them out there for all (LE) to see? If its a private source and you out them you'll never be able to order with them again.

hardly matters, so many reps and bullshitters around, that none of us (intelligent members) will believe the crap in this section anyway, im even thinking this post is an elaborate tactic [)]

They really like it when you ask them everyday where your gear is. Sometimes multiple times a day...
