244091 2004-06-13 11:05:00 Ok, by now most of you are sick of my posting, but I thought that I should bring to attention.

It appears not all are as nice as I would imagine... the company in question is Adelong something or other...

I sent an email to an Australian company, inquiring whether they ship to New Zealand (guess what for...). This is how the emails went:

My first email to them

Hey,

Do you guys ship to New Zealand?

Thanks,
Arya Parsi
----------------------------------

Their first reply

Yes we do.
----------------------------------

My second email to them

Oh awesome.

How much would it cost to ship the Gigabyte GA-7NNXP motherboard to
Wellington?

Cheers,
Arya Parsi
----------------------------------

Their second reply

$20.00
----------------------------------

My third email to them

NZD or AUD ?

So that would bring the complete total price to...

Thanks,
Arya Parsi
----------------------------------

Their third reply

$295 + $20 = $315 AUD
----------------------------------

My fourth email to them

Excellent, I will be in touch.

thanks,
Arya Parsi

PS. You do still stock that board, right?
----------------------------------

Their fourth reply

YES WE STILL KEEP THE ITEM IN STOCK.
THANKS
----------------------------------

My fifth email to them

Sooo... lovely weather, huh?
----------------------------------

I still haven't received a reply.... now my last email was merely to anger them, and they weren't very nice in their fourth reply :D

Good way to finish that evil post count (666) with a post like that :^O.

Well TYPING IN CAPS is seen as shouting. It would be fair to interpret Growly was being shouted at.

Could also have been a different person on the other end answering emails with their caps lock stuck... Still not very professional to talk in capital letters.

I would say they might have been getting a bit impatient with Growly. Can't see an apparent reason either, it wasn't like his emails were rude.

244098 2004-06-13 11:45:00 Hi Growly,
I meant to ask you, whats so fantabulous about the Gigabyte GA-7NNXP that you couldn't do without instead of one of the other motherboards that are available
