Can't get hold of scubay toys on email

[MichaelJ_AUS]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone had any issues with getting emails back from Joe/Larry in the last two days.

I have emailed them more then once to try and get the tracking number for my delivery's (can't ring as I'm in AUS) but have had no reply.

At the moment I feel as though all the help was their prior to my purchase, but as soon as it was shipped, I'm no longer a concern. Not something I would've thought would happen given everyones opinion of Scubatoys.

My Leisurepro order came on Monday, and I could track it all the way.

Not really happy, as my order was quite big.

I hope there is some other explanation...

It happens...though Joe & Larry are heads and shoulders above the rest in almost all instances...this issue hasnt been their strong point for me either. I generally forgive it, because the rest of the service so far exceeds my expectations.

Like you, I am a bit fanatical about tracking all deliveries to me...I live way off the beaten path, and most of my "life" arrived by one colored truck or another. If i'm not around for the delivery, I find that things just go wrong..hence I track track track.
::glancing at Joe:::who also hasnt answered my questions about delivery time....
But hey...I'll still keep giving you the busines ::smirk::

Just hang in there, try sending a Private message via the board....and try sending another email.
I get the feeling that Scuba toys isnt quite as automatically ..automated as some web sites, so getting us shipping & tracking info is completely manual for these guys.

I've been surprised too at not getting a tracking number via email for a phone order. My last ST package arrived without an invoice either. At the same time, the package always shows up so I figure they do it to make the actual delivery experience more of a pleasant surprise .

I'd love to get an email automatically with an invoice and tracking number whenever my credit card is charged, regardless of how the order was placed. I also understand that they probably have one or two other things to worry about this time of year (biggest retail sales quarter of the year here in the states).

I've ALWAYS been able to get any question answered by picking up th e phone. I understand you're in AUS, but are calls really that expensive? Try Skype.

Its not really an issue of the cost, more of the time I would have to call in the morning. I understand that it's a busy time of the year, isn't it everywhere? But I wouldn't have thought that it should take more then a week to get here, I also don't want to find out in a week its lost. The UPS shipment from Leisurepro took 5 days. Hopefully it will come today. My reason for wanting to track the goods is because someone is not home all day, so I can see if delivery has been attempted and possibly organise to pick it up myself, and not keep missing the delivery. I'll try a PM.

Ok just so everyone can know. Joe just did get back to me, looks as though my bc only came in today from the rep. So nothing had been sent yet, but will be soon.

BUT he did say he is throwing in some free goodies for me, because of the delay. That's service.

Thanks Scubatoys.

Michael.

oh, I forgot to mention, I got the 10% off and forgot to even ask for it...

[CaptainRon]

I have always had good luck with sending a private message on this board....that way it goes directly to them. They have always responded quickly.

I'm also having problems at getting some acknowledgement from these guys about my order too, I would hate to think there is some bias towards the southern hemisphere population. This is my first transaction too, must say they are not getting many brownie points the way things have been handled so far.......hoping it's only an 'off' week.

[ScubaToys Larry]

Actually, it is a strange week for us... We had the Holiday late last week with Thanksgiving, then with the shopping days after it, we are barraged with orders and emails, and then a weekend gets in the way - not to mention the almost half way around the world time difference...

And honestly, some times, emails can get lost going one way or another. If you want to shoot me a little info in a PM, I can check when I get in, (about 6 hours from now) and come up with whatever answers you need.
