I'm not saying to not complain....I'm just saying that this is probably the reason why you get push back. This is on CBCS not the people complaining,CBCS made the forum hostile by their utter lack of transparency and disregard for people spending a lot of money on something. I'm never one to complain about product, I'm usually the calm down person. But they have had my books since August of last year over 20 of them ranging from 100.00 to 2k in value. It's inexcusable to offer a new product to by pass me in line. You are not wrong.

	TBH, CBCS has an advantage for us complaining about our orders here. If we are doing it here, we are not on Facebook, twitter (for those who have not left), reddit or the like complaining in front of POTENTIAL customers about the lost, damaged, or delayed orders. We are bitching about it here in front of people who have already given money to CBCS. Now is it costing them all that amount of money? Not really. Those pushing back at our complaints are still sending in books at a rate faster than CBCS can handle. And, most are paying the superduper express bribe to move their books ahead of ours. It is the French Revolution all over again "The Peasants are Revolting!" "Yes! They Stink on Ice!"

	Quote: Originally Posted by BPaxson002 We are bitching about it here in front of people who have already given money to CBCS. @BPaxson002 - But the fact is, that the bitching and grousing here on the forum would likely have an affect as there are many instances of people who come to the forum to seek information before having ever submitted. I am such an example. I lurked here for over a year before my first CBCS submission. Only after 2 years, did I even become a member. So, as there may be others, like I was, who seek knowledge, an incessant amount of complaining could very well be off putting and thus damage CBCS. Yes, there are people here who have legitimate gripes. Unfortunately, there are also persons who are here to just create descension and to disparage. One of the beauties of CBCS and it's forum is that they do not censor legitimate gripes...as others do. The insidiousness of that is that there are those who purposefully take advantage of such for the pleasure of the trolling and chaos that they may create. So to echo and paraphrase @figment, it is my hope that we contribute MEANINGFULLY to this thread, and stick to the turn time facts, as we are experiencing them, without the superfluous commentary. That would then make this a much more beneficial and informational thread.

Should we just cover those issues up in hopes of luring people in for new revenue? Or should we point out issues where CBCS could do better and improve their service in hopes of regaining our trust and again our dollars? To say "No you can't talk about that" (like the idiotic pressing idea) will simply put us to talk about it where CBCS can not keep it contained. If they really don't want us to talk about it, the simple solution is to fix the problems.

Further, you should know very well, that "missing, lost" orders are very few and far apart, and even if one is legitimately lost or missing, again, the TAT thread is not the place for such. I am out.

Not diverting further from this thread to banter with you on your asinine points. Even though you ran off, I'll answer you just the same. All three of those apply to TATs. When an order falls into any of those three categories, the tat pretty much comes to a standstill. I have no idea where my books are. It has been 9 months now and nothing. I would call that missing or lost. I'm also sorry my posts don't measure up to the glorification of your ideals, but that is life. Sometimes people are going to say things you don't like. Happens to me too, but I am man enough to deal with it.

	@BPaxson002 is not incorrect here. My motto is to trust actions; not words. I'm willing to give time for words to translate into actions, but y'know - there's that over a year thingy that's been happening with customer service. It is not acceptable to me to continue to hear the "soft words" of "growth", "hiring", "trained accordingly", "working for our customers" without any semblance of results for over a year with my personal observations. To ensure my statement will not be misconstrued as conjecture again, I have 4 separate emails out to customer service just asking a simple question if CBCS grades TV guides spanning almost 1 month. I mean c'mon guys... seriously? That is a simple yes/no question and is borderline pathetic that I'm asking this question now in the hopes I have an answer for August of this year.

My question is even simpler than that. It's Yes. Or it is No. And then I walk away with either response. I even tried the forum a few months back with this question. No boardies knew and was hoping someone within CBCS would, by some chance, see it and respond. When you can't get answers to the simplest of questions either on the forum or through customer service, do ya think that might frustrate someone? And my question is a valid one because it's not stated anywhere. It is not a "where are my books" question.

	Fed Ex has to be the worst delivery company. Never have a problem with UPS around here. Package was supposed to be delivered Friday (signature required), was home all day and they did not deliver because customer was not home, reschedule for Saturday. Skip to Saturday and I am home again, I hear the Fed Ex truck backing out of my neighbors driveway. Let me check the app and sure enough I see customer not home. The address on my packages are correct and I have a sign at driveway entrance with the house number. This is the second time this has happened with CBCS Friday deliveries.

There should have been a separate e-mail that went to these costumers with instructions on how to upgrade the submission. Not sure how many would have actually taken advantage of this, but it would have given CBCS somewhat of the moral high ground that they gave the existing submission the opportunity to not be bumped in line. That would have been actual costumer service.
