Hey Guys,
I see in standard form a rather benign comment has been responded to like I had just proclaimed the ability to turn water to wine. As you very astutely pointed out - I am a newb. Not to lifting or gear but to the online sourcing for sure. I understand that this is a community/club/culture/family to which you all belong and thus take it seriously. I get it can be frustrating when new comers ask questions and look for support. With that said, the idea that goes along with any of those noted above is continued growth and passing of knowledge - the way you respond here makes it an extremely unpleasant experience to the “newb”.
After reading the various threads here, I see nothing can be left as simply implied. As you’ll note I mentioned I hadn’t tried the gear yet and assumed my comment regarding on-going buisiness would be taken in the same vein as the majority of my post - based on customer service. Would any of you order more based simply on the fact something showed up at your door; and a polite conversation? I wonder why you would assume someone else would?
Sorry for the sarcasm but I am finding the online experience to be a nightmare!
Like I said I’m a newb here but I’ve been in the gym for many years and have always dealt face-to-face with people known to me. In recent years my personal sources have been drying up and now are all no longer. Unfortunately, my last resort, the online world, requires you spend countless hours participating in conversations etc... no one is willing to provide sources; and further to that practically anything mentioned is responded to with an attack. I have a family, business and several obligations that simply make it impossible for me to invest the time required by many of the forums.
I’ve tried online once prior to this with pharmacomstore and ended up with a customs seizure. Now I try this domestic source (a source recieved and vouched for here yet surprisingly the product is already in question) and it seems I may already have encountered problems.
Make no mistake that I will come and check in regardless of the just plain rude comments and let you know how things are purely for the benefit of the community and new comers but also make no mistake that I expect only to receive more “stupid newb what an idiot for fumbling around in the dark with no help” comments.
You take the words of faceless, anonymous people on the internet to heart pretty easily, i see. Lighten up, dude.
You're new here, get used to a little friendly flaming. In all honesty, you got off kinda easy for a guy that said "He’ll get my business again." just because the source seemed friendly and something was shipped out to you.
