L1Picker Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I ordered this CD from CD Baby last night... ...the guy is an awesome jazz player. Now the funny part. I just got a shipment confirmation from CD Baby. Here's an excerpt... "Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Saturday, August 9th. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sigh..." That's good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 That's pretty cool. There's an outfit called 'Small Dog Electronic' that sells computer stufff... and in every shipment you'd get a couple of tiny little plastic dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layboomo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It's always nice to see a vendor with a sense of humor! There was a speaker company quite a few years ago that had a really cute add that siad something like "tools needed for installation.....a steak knife,scotch tape ,six pack of beer ....and the phone number of a REAL installer!" I always liked that one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked that one too![/quote'] I agree, layboomo...A "Sense of Humor" is sorely lacking, in way too many areas...especially "Customer Abuse...uh, Service!" I remember the first time I got my first order from Sweetwater, I was amazed at the quick service, and amused too, by the candy. And, there was a LOT of candy, for such a small oder! But, that good/quick service and very small gesture, did a LOT to make me want to buy from them, again. Silly, maybe...but effective. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1Picker Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 My wife gets the candy that comes in the boxes from Sweetwater. Whenever one arrives, I tell her I ordered her more candy and...Oh My! Look what they threw in along with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judybat Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 On a similar note, a couple years ago I sent a Jansport book bag to them for repair. One of the zippers was hosed and didn't work. Withink a couple days I got a postcard from my pack that read something like "I'm having great fun at pack camp! I have met a lot of other packs from around the country, and am having a grea time, but I miss you and hope to be home soon" About a week after that I got a letter from Jansport that read something like "We're very sorry, but your pack didn't make it through Pack Camp. We know how devastated you are and are sure you have many great memories of things you've done with your pack. Enclosed is a new pack, and although it can never replace the pack you've lost, we hope that you build a new set of great memories with it" Pretty funny I thought.

Ricochet Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 No candy or plastic doggies, but I think Lollar Pickups has a pretty funny opener on their homepage. It's a comment from a customer and the way I interpret it is how relative this socalled Holy Grail of tone is. Alltho that may be reading too much into it... but what the Hey. http://www.lollarguitars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
