But...I left most of my ranting here.
USPS has somehow misplaced 3 deliveries ($500+ in orders that I have to replace). Its left me shy on parts and under the gun to get replacements out.
as for USPS, out of my hands. I will always do delivery conf. and insurance from here out.
for the custom chopped XLR customers who were not pleased for whatever reason.....
For the record, these suck to make. take a lot of time to get them right. reliability is my first priority. with no locking mechanism in place, I worry about things coming "undone" and use a lot of goo in there to secure them.
Fit and Finish...
sometimes its awesome. Sometimes not.
I've gotten complete refund requests based on how they look. I know, its your money. you can complain all you want.
If you want choppers, and are very concerned about how they look in your bag...best get them from Hi-Ho or Ed. they look much better than mine.
I know, its bad form for a retailer to vent like this. And i'm sure it will cost me in many ways.
fuck it. Worst case is I dont make cables any more, loose a bunch of T's and can just enjoy being a "civilian" again among my peers.
I'm just fed up w/the "I need these in a week" orders that then B&M about it once I get them there.
If you want perfect fit and finish, then order factory ends. Nothing wrong w/those new Neutrik RA ends. they are slim and fit anywhere. they are just long...and can block other things.
