Sometimes The Squeaky Wheel Does Get Greased
I just went through an interesting experience. Back on 12/21 I ordered a custom configured computer from a major computer manufacturer who used to build their computers in the USA but now contracts for a third party to build them in Mexico.
In the past I have never waited more than four days to receive a computer from them so I was surprised when I ordered it and the estimated deliver date was 1/13/11, three weeks from when I ordered. I didn't like it but could live with it.
A few days before 1/13 my order showed updated with a new delivery date of 1/19, essentially one month from the order date. I was very unhappy but again could live with it. A few days before that delivery date the order updated to show a new delivery date of 1/25/11, essentially five weeks from my order date. That I could not handle.
I contacted customer service and got a vague email that just said the order was in production and delayed. I then googled for the email of the CEO of the company. I actually knew one email address for him but found an odd one that the source claimed was one that went to him personally.
Friday morning I emailed that address explaining my situation and asking for help. About 2 pm that afternoon I received a call from someone on the "Executive Team" of this Computer manufacturer. We discussed my situation and she gave me her name and cell phone number.
It was a weird problem I won't get into here but she had to do a lot of work but managed to find a way to get me my computer and it is being sent priority overnight and will be here tomorrow!
So while initially disappointed in the company I do have to say once I reached the executive office they sure executed well to insure customer satisfaction!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
