+scoutingfamily74 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Figured I would order from the source, even though I could have saved a little bit of money, especially on shipping if ordered from a distributor. But I didn't, I figured I would give Groundspeak the benefit of my business and I'll never do that again! After spending almost $8 for shipping, even if I would have chosen USPS. the package arrived and I'm not pleased. Well to make a long story short we ordered a small assortment of cache stickers and a couple of containers. The containers made it no problem but they might as well folded up the stickers and placed them in a small envelope and they would have probably made it in better condition, for $8 am I wrong for expecting better? Needless to say I'm a very disappointed customer!
+CYBret Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 This is a Geocaching.com issue. I'm moving it over to that forum.
+scoutingfamily74 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 got pics? No I sure don't! I'm at work right now but I'll see what I can do tomorrow! This is a Geocaching.com issue. I'm moving it over to that forum. Sorry about that, I wasn't sure where I should post it!
+KoosKoos Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I think you have a right to be upset and you should let them know that. contact@geocaching.com I've ordered from them several times and never had any issues at all. Maybe you got a grumpy packing monkey that day.

Maybe you got a grumpy packing monkey that day. i've heard those packing monkeys can be rather testy! They're chimps, not monkeys. If they hear you call them monkeys, they start throwing... well, let's just say you don't want to be on the receiving end.

+Ambrosia Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 That's too bad that you had an unpleasant experience. I've always been impressed with how quick they are, and I've never had a problem with how things were packaged. If you have concerns, you can email shop@Groundspeak.com.

Clan Riffster Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I think the true measure of a business is not how they handle everyday affairs, but rather, how they handle their mistakes. Judging by Rothstafari's post, I'd guess that Groundspeak does a good job at fixing their boo boos.

I have ordered from Groundspeak several times and have always been pleased...but it sounds like things will be worked out soon!!!

Judging by Rothstafari's post, I'd guess that Groundspeak does a good job at fixing their boo boos. Yes, very impressive. I agree, mistakes are not a problem. How they're handled is very important. Good job Rothstafari. Put yourself down for a raise.
