« on: May 24, 2007, 05:46:55 AM »
i messaged him a couple of days ago for an action attack with no response and wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing?  I also checked ebay and in the past month alot of people saying they werent gettng the pin and top described.  Ive done deals in the past with him and the last one was a little shakey wondeirng if hes still got a good rep?

You are not obligated to keep it if it isnt what you need.  I will gladly
issue a call tag via UPS for it and issue a refund thru Paypal.   I can also
dig thru our inventory and see if I do have a super short pin AA as well.  

I am sending this in a PM as well.

Thanks,
Joe

I'm with Joe Falco.  I have had many dealings with ASJoe.  He always delivers.  The quality of his work is second to none.  Depending upon how busy he is you may not get next day service, but you can count on his honesty and his taking care of you.  If you need something immediately let him know that and if he can't take care of it right away he will tell you so.  But if you need something ASAP call him, don't send an email.  When he's swamped with work they don't always get read on a daily basis.

I've bought a few things from Joe, some from BR and some from Ebay, and I have to admit, I will continue to purchase things from him.  He is in Ohio and I am in PA, and I get things in a day from him, even if mailed USPS.  I hope everything with the leg is Ok Joe...keep on keeping on!

the response i got in my messages was the same as whats posted    but heres the problem:  you win a ball on ebay and in the auction it says pin; 1-4 inch per your needs    i take that as what you want.  So in my paypal payment i put a note in that said i wanted a 1-2inch pin and 3 top   if you dont have that let me know what you do have.  I understand hes a busy guy but thats no excuse in my opinion.  So instead of taking 10 minutes to look through what he had and email me back he sent something that wasnt what i wanted and what i didnt win on ebay.  If this wasnt the second time this happened i might let it slide.  I won one of his raffles in feb or so and it says there i can pick my pin and top  well low and behold i didnt get that then either  but i did let that one slide.  So i gave him another chance and this happens and i know alot of people buy stuff from him and are ok with everything, however now i wont have the ball for the tournament i wanted it for because if i want the correct specs i would have to send it back.    the bad thing is my driller is out of town and cant put it on the scale and see it the cg is or isnt marked correctly.  My point here is that when you expect to get whats said in the auction you should get it, am i the only person who thinks that way?  I understand joe has offered to pay for shipping back and get another one but by the time that happens it 2 weeks later for something that could have been taken care of in about 20 total minutes.  I dont mean to ever post negative feedback however all i want it what is promised

I understand totally.  

I have a 15.3oz, Top 3.0oz, Pin 1-1.5 AA if you would rather have that
one instead?   I didnt send the super short pin just simply because most
everyone doesnt want a pin that short.   I just tried to send a better
specd one (2") instead of such a short one.   I apologize in that regard
as I should have cleared that with you.   Please let me know and Ill take
care of it promptly.   Also sending this in a PM.

Thanks,
Joe

Bruns ..  Joe has suggested you send the ball back at his expense AND he will refund your purchase price .. If you can't use the ball .. SEND IT BACK! Don't know if his offer is going to be for ETERNITY so I'd say it's up TO YOU to notify him of your decision.

If you believe that you were robbed I think you ought to provide negative feedback on e-bay (I think that's where you made the deal) but you should mention the proposal made by Joe relative to the RETURN FREE/REFUND!

I think you are attempting to STRETCH the term FRAUD!

This is MY OPINION!

You guys don't seem to get it Dustin has dealt with Joe not once not twice but three times and everytime a problem. Three strikes and you're out, there has been many postings on here debating pro shops versus online purchases this is a prime example of why I purchase my stuff through my local pro shop I get exactly what I ordered not almost what I ordered but exactly. I don't question that Joe is a nice guy but it looks and sounds like he has more on his plate than he can handle. Thats just my 2 cents

i dont make it out to say joe is a bad guy i know hes not however when it comes to business and i call purchasing something from him business i expect to get what i order am i right or wrong?    so when you go to a resurant and order a steak lets say medium well  but your steak comes back medium rare  are you happy or upset?  but he guess what the cook is a great guy but when he cooked your steak it was under cooked   maybe thats a bad example but i dont think you would be to happy  im not out to bash or kill joe or his business but when you do business its one thing versus being a nice guy  and like i said i have to wait until my driller comes back in to town to put the ball on the scale  chances are it will work but i dont like to take chances when i buy something  no hard feelings joe im dont hate you one bit i may be cautious in the future maybe with this transaction that things may change and everything works out to where we can do business again

Not a problem.   I hope you noticed no where did I mention that I said you
were wrong at any time here in the posting.    This is what the feedback
forum is for and the proper use of it (your posting).   Any time there has
been an issue that has been in the open I have always been open and honest
about the problem and rectifying it.   Let me know what you want to do with
the ball once he looks at it.   I can hold the other one until then Im sure
as this is the slow part of the year.

Thanks,
Joe

Riley,
That is kind of funny, I went to buying online because I never got my specs from my pro shop.  The shop always had an excuse, I am talking three different shops.

I've bought several balls from ASB, both for customers and most recently myself, and never have had an issue.  Reasonable return times on messages/emails and always fast shipments & great prices.

This is NOT a sarcastic question .. I REALLY DON'T know ..since the whole conversation is about a complainer who requested a 1-2 inch pin and received a 2-3 inch pin .. please help me understand what is the difference in reaction between the two? Can the ball be drilled in such a way that the difference in pin will be noticable? Can the driller get the reaction wanted by the bowler with this variance in pin? I'm lost in this conversation!

well heres why i wanted a 1-2 inch pin

for one my span is 4 1/4 by 4 1/8  so i wanted to keep the cg on the midline and pin under my ring finger   the ball i the pin is almost 3 around 2 7/8  i never drill through or into a pin usually it cracks within a period of time and most companies wont give you credit.

secondly its not what was stated in the auction that i won

thirdly thats what i asked for

im sorry if you guys dont agree frankly i dont care     when i order something from a BUSINESS i expect a certain level of quality and service  you may not but i do and im the customer  

and formy falco i know your loved on this site not big deal but i would say that 90% of users here dont average 210 or better one a wall and dont have a clue  but hey thats understandable  maybe they dont know the difference in pins and tops and someone can send you a ball with a 2 inch pin and 1 ounce of top   when you asked for 3 ounces and they can get awy with that cause you dont know any better  

im done trying to defend why i was upset for a number of reasons
1.  that i never recieved a response on a action attack for a week from joe
2. asked for a pin and top 2 times when it clearly state per your needs
3. i added a note to the payment that said if you dont have the specs email me to let me know what you have before you ship  which would have taken about 5 minutes and if he doesnt have an extra 5 minutes to make a customer happy then he shouldnt have 100's of ebay listings, a physical proshop, and specials here if he cant keep up with the work flow  its just bad business
