Jason thanks for the response.
It was the same type of question but a different product. In my case a Lyr vs Lyr 2. Got almost the same responses. It is in the FAQ and descriptions. I had read those prior to the email. So I did a lot of research and with the help of others from the Head-Fi Schiit forums I got the information I needed and bought the product and love it.
That said some folks would have said never mind and bought something else.
I was not looking for flowery or hand holding. I was looking for specific information. He could have emailed back, "exactly what do you want to know?". I never got that far. If my question had been answered in the description and FAQ then it would have been my bad, but it was not. Since this is not the first time this topic has been mentioned, there must be a segment of your customer base that is looking for flowery prose and hand holding. As was mentioned above by another member some folks appreciate short direct responses. Some do not.
Thanks again for your personal response.
And I still love my Schiit...
I would like to add my .02 cents to this.
When I made my first order, I got the same kind of short responses. I was close to just not continuing. And in fact, had it not been for all the huge praise I had read here about Schiit in the forums, I too would have not purchased.
I want to be careful that this is not misconstrued as not being happy. Even with the considerable problems that FedEx caused me and Schiit, I am, overall, very pleased.
However, what I had to do was adapt real quick to the super short responses. So I took to sending super short questions. One at a time. And exchanged MANY emails. But did get what I was looking for eventually.
Personally I would opt for more helpful and complete responses if I could choose. An approach that didn't make me feel bad for having questions. Customer service is your face to the world, after your website.
I was very pleased that I was getting responses from Nick late on a Friday or Saturday night (can't remember) so that part is impressive.
And I'd like my preferences made known as well regarding this, Jason. I agree with MWSVette.
