Dark ages are over dude, we are in a mobile environment, like it or not.
Give me your order number and we'll have a new one sent out to you Monday. You can use the PM feature here if you like seeing nothing else is working for you. I'll personalty make sure it's taken care of. Thanks

My Gosh GIVE IT A REST. Every business has a glitch now and then especially a small business. A lot of people are very satisfied with the service they have gotten from Lamonster, so if your so dissatisfied take your business elsewhere. Most of the sponsors on this site are small businesses and I think they may all have had problems at one time or another. Overall they're a pretty good bunch to deal with, and Lamonster is one of the best.

So why did you not use your mobile environment, and call him? I am not saying he is perfect, nor have I had all my email's answered also.
To date I have sent two emails, and only one reply. Did I get mad? Nope. I understand the situation. The first email was during SF, and his wife getting hurt.
The second he asked me to call him. I prefer to use email, and Lamont it seems prefers using the phone. Am I wrong for wanting to use email only, or is he wrong for wanting to use the phone only? Not for me to judge.
I understand his point, as a phone call is more personable, and to the point. With an email I don't have to worry about forgetting things expressed.
Did I get great customer service? Nope, but I still bought from his business since I like his products and prices.
Just my two cents.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

If yiu you rely on email as the only form of communication, you will be unhappy! I have had to call to ask questions of the Folks at Lamonster Garrage and they always answer!
Give em a brake!
Your sarcastic post is childish and unhelpful which I resent. You will be please to learn however, that the 'telephone' has in fact spread across the pond to the UK, and believe it or not we even have colour television, laptops and mobiles.
Since I happen to live in the UK I do not wish to spend my hard earned cash on high tariff 'phone calls to the States just to be connected to a time wasting answering system or answer machine. Besides I am profoundly deaf and have extreme difficulty using telephones, I don't suppose that even occurred to you. Lamonster's site gives their email as a method of contact so that is what I did.
Please don't lead me into temptation, I already know the way. I can resist everything except temptation.

I was a 15 year vendor for a business owner, who built his small enterprise from a one man shop to employing 35 people. He was successful and prided himself on being able to support about 25 families with their needs, while he only had a 6th grade education.
He once told me that, "Business would be such a pleasure to do with the exception of only two things, customers and employees!"

But what about if they are deaf, do you just ignore them as if they don't count???

I answer the phone (among other things) for a small 2 man business, and have "spoken" to many deaf customers. Most have others call for them, but some have a machine they type on and the machine does the speaking, still others use some sort of service as an intermediary, so there are ways to do it. By far the most common is to have some one make the call for you. I see your issue as cost and I certainly can't fault that.
I have problems getting my own family to return emails sometimes, or getting them to call me, they would rather use text. I've told them "just think of the wear and tear on you fingers, you already have your phone in your hand. Wouldn't it be easier to call than to type in that whole message?"

"Honey" is at work and since the F3 is my baby, Mama's gonna do it herself! Then I'll use the Lamonster products to spiff HIM up (the bike, not Honey) and take a ride. Honey says my Wish List is getting longer and longer, however LAMONSTER GARAGE is making the "what'll I get her for_________" easy!
Stay safe out there or put Lamonster Garage on the ark!!!

Well bully for you. And thanks for the lecture on various aids for the deaf. Having been PREFOUNDLY deaf for 50 years I am well aware of 'teletype' and third party methods of communication. If Lamonster are too busy to drop me a one or two sentence email you can imagine how happy they would be to hang on the phone while I type a message for the translator to put into words and wait again while the translator types back to me. And the misunderstanding that could occur during the process. And the expense of the prolonged and maybe unfruitful call. Get real!!

If you still haven't heard, it's my guess that your email is now buried.
I agree re email vs phone - I would love to phone and talk through what I want with USA vendors, but I would have to get my head around the time zone, then spend a fortune on a call.
So, like you, it's email or nothing for me. There's another supplier I've been trying to contact - so far absolutely zero... That said, generally I've found USA vendors prompt and efficient - my latest effort is the odd one out.
If you haven't already - may I suggest you send a "new" email with your complete query, and tell them you're in England and it costs a lot to call. You could add '2nd request' if you feel it will help.

I'm sorry if I offended you, that was certainly not my intention, I only thought to be helpful. I did acknowledge your problem with the cost of a phone call. There was no need to be an ass about it. Also the head banger emoticon was placed after the next part of of my original post, and not where you moved it, which kind of changes the whole context.
