[Elecraft] To improve customer service

[Doug Hensley]

Don, I think that is because the early stuff is farmed out to contract people who may not have an email routine going yet.  The K1 & K2's were usually handled by Don Wilhelm who just retired.  You might contact Elecraft support and ask them who they sent the rig to, when, where, etc.

Don had done all my K1 & K2 work and was just marvelous.  Hopefully Elecraft keep that kind of talent at hand.

Cheers,

A good morning to all!

I am sitting in my recliner, drinking a cup of java, and doing what I seem to do best, thinking,

I?m thinking; when I sent my computer into the Company for repairs (under warranty), the Company did something I had never experienced before. They ?GAVE ME A WEEKLY UPDATE? every Friday by email or phone call, to tell me the status of my computer! Every week, I knew what was happening to my computer, (1) had they received it? (2) Were they working on it? (3) What have they found? (4 ) What problems have they encountered?  (5) Is it fixed? (6) Have they sent it back to me?

On April 8th, I sent my K2 transceiver kit to Elecraft, to look at an issue I was having.

On April 10th, (2 days later) Elecraft received my K2. I know this NOT because I was notified, but because I researched the tracking number.

On May 7th, (29 days later), Elecraft cashed my deposit check that was sent with the K2. I know this NOT because I was notified, but because I researched my banking statements.

On May 23rd, (today, 45 days later) I am beginning to think I may never see my K2 again!

I?m thinking; wouldn?t it be nice if all Companies kept their customers ?informed? of a products status when sent in for repairs, like the computer Company did?

I?m thinking; this would be a GREAT improvement to customer service!
