Excellent Customer Service
posted by GJ on April 5, 2007 @ 3:38PM

I am posting to indicate my extreme pleasure with Suncast Corporation. Who is Suncast? They make hose reel carts, like the kind you can find in Home Depot and Lowe's...mine is called the Hosemobile.

Anyhow, the inlet pipe decided to pop right off the other day. I couldn't figure out how to put it back in, and nothing appeared broken. So, I emailed their parts department about the problem on 4/3.

I got a reply the very next day, and it was very well written. They explain what likely happened, and the part # in case I found the part broken when I reassemble it. In order to facilitate my taking it apart (it comes fully assembled), they gave me full disassembly instructions and highlighted the parts regarding the item I was trying to fix, since there are some particular call-outs they didn't want me to miss.

That's what I call EXCELLENT customer service. I'd buy another product from them in a second.

Heartbreaking story of abuse, just in
posted by GJ on April 5, 2007 @ 2:47PM

Edmonton, Canada - A seven year old boy was at the centre of an Edmonton courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Edmonton Oilers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Sunday Funnies

A young man was watching an NFL football game from way up in the upper deck when he noticed an empty seat in the front row at the 50-yard line. He went down and asked the old man sitting next to it if he knew whose seat it was.

"Yes," said the old man, "that's my wife's seat. We've never missed attending a game together, but now, I'm afraid, she is dead." The young man offered his sympathy and said it was really too bad that the old man couldn't find some relative to give the ticket to and enjoy the game together.

"I tried," the old man responded. "But they're all at the funeral."
