MasterOfPuppets Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Hey guys, just wanted to check if this is a normal issue, since it's my first rep purchase. Been communicating with a trusted dealer for a couple of weeks regarding the availability of a model, and he told me that he'd send the QC Pics right after I send him the WU MTCN Number. I sent him the number on Thursday, he then replied immediately telling me he'd pick up the payment and send the QC Pics the following day (Friday). Emailed him twice since then and no answer, is this normal? Thanks.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk He was supposed to send them on the 5th, and the professional thing to do is to say something about these Holidays to your clients, especially the ones who sent payments?
pcardoza Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 I'm not defending them. Just letting you know that you likely won't hear from them before Tuesday..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

lloyd Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Yep, this hobby is a waiting game at times. You have to be patient.
MasterOfPuppets Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 I thought it was solved, apparently not! He promised to send them "in a few minutes", 9 hours ago! Man I suck at waiting!
Nightwatch Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 MasterofPuppets - You joined 5 Years. 7 months and 10 Days ago and You are buying Your first rep? You win the prize for the most patient guy on planet Earth! lol 9 minutes, 9 hours, nine days - in the grand scheme of things: does it really matter? - an Eastern philosopher would probably say: does it matter if You get it earlier and it´s doa? does it matter if it takes 9 weeks longer if You will have a fine watch for many Years to come? Ok, I have a western and linear understanding of the time flow as well but if You´re interested this is a well researched article on time concepts. Don´t agree with everything but it makes You think - if in a hurry scroll down half the page for China.... http://www.businessinsider.com/how-different-cultures-understand-time-2014-5 1

panerai153 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 That was a very interesting read, and explains a lot that I thought I understood about other cultures, but was not entirely correct. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Jordanf1 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 The one thing ive learnt especially M2M is that we all have lives outside of the Rep world so Patience is absolutely to everything !

MasterOfPuppets Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 NightWatch wins @ the internet today ! He sure does! Thx for sharing that NightWatch Still no answer after that "You'll get them in a few minutes" almost 24 hours ago. I guess I'll let it go for one more day, the start panicking!!
rek001 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 OK, I gotta ask - you have over 1,000 posts and just now buying your first rep, what the heck have you been talking about all this time?
MasterOfPuppets Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 OK, I gotta ask - you have over 1,000 posts and just now buying your first rep, what the heck have you been talking about all this time? Not my first rep, my first Super Rep! I was pretty active 4 years ago (a time when the Omega Logo had Happy Feet)! I was and still am very picky when it comes to small details, and it was impossible to deliver a rep at my location back then
CptTripps Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 NightWatch wins @ the internet today ! Agreed! That's funny as hell.

I wouldn't expect professionalism in this hobby. You may find out from time to time, but expecting it is just asking to be disappointed.
