Loss of money could be argued as a "relative" thing.
I will argue that time and frustration related to time have a value.
Peace of mind also has a value.
Quality customer service aids in peace of mind.
XIN is FAILING miserably at customer service - due to Incredibly poor communication and incredibly slow delivery times.
So, Xin's lack of acceptable customer service has a cost/value.
Intent to purchase a product and not receiving the product for WAY longer periods than anticipated equate to lack of being able use a product for an unreasonable period of time. This lack of use has a value.
And I think any concern over future wait times if "customer service" is needed is OBVIOUSLY a very valid concern!
Anyone who has to actually return a product and wait unreasonable periods of time to get the product back have lost or will potentially loose "Extensive" use time. Again, lack of use has a value.
Xin may have a perfect track record of shipping "all" items eventually.
But, there is more to customer service than ultimately shipping a purchase "eventually".
Appropriate communication ranks VERY high in customer service on my list.
If rated on communication skills, Xin get a BIG "F".
I did not want to purchase two amps so I could have one while waiting for the other. I consider this an unreasonable solution.
In hind-sight, I sort of wish I had ordered a different amp and I still keep considering it. If I had ordered a different amp to "hold me over", I would have likely been pleased with a number of various other possible amp purchases I could have made and I would have likely cancelled my Xin amp order because of this unreasonable wait, PISS POOR communication and possibility of having to deal with PISS POOR communication if anything ever goes wrong with my XIN amp.
I think this Xin amp may have already cost me more than I have not yet even paid. I wonder what it might cost me by the time I get it.
I sure as heck hope it doesn't break and "Cost" me a whole lot more "IF" I ever get it.
