EIGHTEEN (18) delivery Performance Bikes

Today is 18 days we've been waiting for an order from Performance Bikes. We've asked for our money
back but have received no reply. Anybody still deal with these people?

 

This is beginning to feel like the genesis of Nightline:

"Day 18, Michael Pearlman Held Hostage"

No it sounds like: "Day 18, Michael can't get his s**t together and get things done. Holds the rest
of us hostage to his inane drivel."

Michael: Get something done! Based what you've written these past two, very long weeks, it appears
that you can't make a command decision about, say, disputing the charge with your credit card
company, or asking for a trace on the 'missing shipment' and things like that. If you feel you
have been wronged, DO SOMETHING! Sniveling here achieves nothing other than people wondering where
your spine is.

You have been advised several times to notify your bank card and have them take care of this.

Any words you do not understand?

Nope, I think everyone has observed your situation has stopped dealing with them. Now it's just a
matter of time before they pull the plug...... Interesting that you appear to post from a
government/ taxpayer funded computer to rant about your problems with a private business. Another
slow day? ED3

 

A substantial part of the problem may well be YOUR attitude. Try something constructive,
for a change.

Call Performance on the 800 line and talk to somebody. Did they ship the order? To the right
address? Can they trace it? Will they overnight-ship replacement merchandise to you since you didn't
receive it?

Stop bothering the newsgroup about it.

Just as I responded in the *OTHER* newsgroup you are spamming with this s**t, yes, most of us are
still dealing with "these people"!

And you're still a whiney wanker!

ROTFLMAO!

Could this be a competitor to Performance in the guise of a wronged consumer?

Yes, actually. In fact I'll order from them just to keep them in business, so that we can have the
dubious pleasure of reading your continued puerile whining.

You know, dude, stuff happens. Too bad it happened to you. Life's tough, suck it up and deal with it
or stay in bed. Tantrumming like a toddler doesn't make it any easier. Grow up and set an example
for your students.

In short, stop being a wanker. And who's "we?" Is that the royal we- or in your case, the royal wee?

 

Give it a rest, Pearlman!

May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris

From his address, he appears to be a student within the Grossmont Union School district, which is
just east of San Diego, California. I couldn't find a 'Michael Pearlman' listed as faculty in any of
the schools or the district office. So it seems like Mr. Pearlman is a student, has some excess time
on his hands, doesn't have much experience with mail-order problems and the taxpayers of San Diego
County are paying for his whining.

Please don't post this here. It belongs in rec.bicycles.marketplace, not this group. Read the FAQ
and follow the posting guideline there.

Does anybody other than me think this is a prank and this will turn out to be term paper for a high
school student called

"Creating an Urban Legend on a newsgroup"

 

Just saw the email address. There's like 10 give or take performance stores within 50 miles of you,
and probably 2 or three within 10. What is it that is obviously backordered? Did you check a local
store? There are quite a few bikes stores in san diego.

I've forwarded a copy of his last to the district. Probably turn out to be a janitor.

OH Man! you fell for it! One of the oldest retail tricks in history is to get the customer to feel
sympathy for the retailer!

<grin>

this is almost as funny as the guy with the Derri-air.

There is no way in hell they told him to "Just Wait"...

Someone said recently that Mr. Pearlman's address does not resolve. Has anyone tried to look for:
grossmont.k12.ca.us (in Google, perhaps)?
