Do not buy from aquacave!

You got what you wanted at the cost of bashing a reputable vendor that you didn't even give a chance to make it right. That's all that matters, right? Enjoy your lights.

While I do enjoy my lights and I am happy that I got what I wanted, you are incorrect about it being all that matters. In fact I'm very sorry and unhappy that it had to come to this. None of this was necessary whatsoever.

The first call I made I expected immediate results, YES. Why wouldn't I? Something I bought with hard-earned money arrived not working. Of course a good vendor is going to make that right immediately. I come from the world of Newegg where it's BAM no questions just send me a new one. Customer service is how an online vendor can make it's reputation. If they fail in customer service then the reputation goes with it. DO NOT try to blame the customer, you will fail as a vendor. The customer is ALWAYS right. If you don't believe that then you don't know business.

Bottom line, the first day when I first called and Enrico told he'd call me back later that day, all he had to do is call me back like promised. Heck even to tell me he didn't know anything yet would've really helped. I would've felt like they cared about my situation. It's all about communication. Communicate and people don't sit there getting upset about not knowing what is going on and thinking people don't care. It's pretty simple really.

Now please for the love of Pete let this thread die.
 
Bottom line to all of this is that people complain because there is an issue. No issue, no complaint! For those of you who received your products from AC without any issues, it is irrational for you to label other people as bashers and unpatient. You got what you want in good condition and in a timely manner so Kudos for you! Don't attack people who has a legitimate complaint when you haven't experience the poor service in the first place. AC may be one of the best online vendors out there but they are not perfect and make occassional mistakes. Snausy got what he wanted and AC recognized the issue and hopefully learned from it. Bottom line --> CUSTOMERS WILL PAY MORE $$$ IN EXCHANGE FOR GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

being as people continue to bring up so called "poor" experiences with AC... I figured I would bring up a past experience as well. I ordered 6 t5s, a couple powerheads, and some odds and ends... All arrived very nicely packaged and all in one piece. The bulbs looks great and came at a price you couldnt beat with a stick! Thanks Aqua Cave for all you do. Everyone has shipping mishaps the part that matters is they fix the problem.

To all who ship frags, fish, other dry goods privately through the forums: have you ever shipped something that broke in shipping? or didnt arrive alive? if so how did you handle it and what was the turn around time...? now that you have answered that in your head. Think about taking alot more than just 1-5 orders... cut the big boys some slack.
 
I think the competition is taking advantage of this thread by posting in it. Knock it off. Let it die. I'm unsubscribing. Maybe I'll check in on it in six months and see what it's grown into. :hmm4:
 
Personally I have had a great service from AC and will definitely keep them as one of my top online vendors

I think that this thread should be closed as the OP has mentioned that his issue has been resolved instead of a couple of people just bashing on a great company.
