Something that continues to annoy me about many mainstream sites - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 08-27-2007, 05:30 AM

Is when there is an email contact on the page and they never reply to emails. For example, if you have a webpage for a restaurant and you say 'email us to place a reservation' but you never check that email address (or at least reply) then you suck.

Has happened three times at least this week where I have been to a site for a fairly major restaurant or off-line store where they make a big deal of 'email us with questions or to make a reservation, etc and never hear back. I bet most of these places would fire staff that didn't answer the phone when a customer called..same thing in my view

/rant ..lol

my biggest complaint is trying to unregister from a email list "from a major wireless carrier"

You'll probably get a response in about 6 weeks.

Most of my experiences were bad related to this subject. Only few responses from costumer care services.

Yeah, I normally would call or use one of the bigger reservation service websites but since they made such a big deal on the website about emailing for reservations and I had a few days space I gave it a try..never got a reply and the reservation was suppose to be for last Friday. So, I went somewhere else that wanted my buisness.

CheneyRumsfeld · 08-27-2007, 07:18 AM

call them on the phone and ask why you never got a reply to your email.
and while you are at it, ask them what sort of spam are you going to get in the email addy you provided!

Sarah_Jayne · 08-27-2007, 08:21 AM

Yeah, I called but the person that picked up wasn't great with the English skills and didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Angie77 · 08-27-2007, 08:47 AM

Yeah that is pretty annoying!

TG Rebecca · 08-27-2007, 08:49 AM
