Been ripped by AS&S deceptive freight pricing???

By this logic you could claim that anyone who has ever learned from his
mistakes is still as poor a businessman as he was then. Reduced to the
simple facts, you are agreeing with me while taking the opportunity to put
down Irwin, for no good reason. What's your point?

My point is your slavish devotion to certain types of people is hardly a
recommendation for their business. Your statement at face value is
"Jim Irwin wouldn't do that." is laughable because he has demonstrably
done so in the past. All you have to do is google the issue.

Slavish devotion? Aren't you really talking about _your_ slavish fixation on
people whom you don't like and despite your best efforts to put down, are
much more succesful at their enterprises than you have been? Seems to me
like you have a personal problem best dealt with through your chaplain or
therapist, Natalie.

From my personal experience, I am entitled to say that my opinion is that
Irwin would not do that. AS&S has gone way out of their way to make sure I
know they value the business I do with them. Every time there has been a
problem, it has been corrected almost immediately. I know many other
customers who feel exactly the same way about them. And so far, I haven't
seen a single instance of a problem with AS&S reported here that amounted to
much more than a case of whining by someone who has more of a chip on their
shoulder than a real reason to complain.

The fact remains that you agreed with me and only replied so you could take
a cheap shot at Irwin. That, IMO, is laughable behaviour.

OK Juan, here's your first.

I called AS&S about this twice but they refused to even consider they had
made a mistake. In fact, they got a little unfriendly possibly because after
they referred me to the shipping page, I pointed out it didn't answer the
question and further they couldn't account for the price any other way. So,
after one email letter and two phone calls, the problem remains.

In the past I've been a supporter of AS&S and even chimed in when I thought
this newsgroup was piling on unfairly. I have also given AS&S the option of
matching a price on a big item available elsewhere. The small businessman
has my sympathies since I have also been a retailer. "Your employees can put
you out of business faster than the competition," goes a well-known quote. I
think Jim had better pay attention especially to his customers who will let
him know how his business is going from the viewpoint of the user.

Only to customer service - not Irwin specifically. Tried to phone Irwin
without success.
