I meant friday morning it arrived...

I probably bugged the hell out of David, they were taking off to some function over the weekend. It was really important to me, so I kept calling and writing till I knew I had a UPS tracking number to watch it arrive on time.

He was very professional with my stupid questions.

But I would have been really sad if it didnt show up in time, I hope someone else let you spin fire with their staff at the decom...

this thread should be deleted, the title doesnt speak to the real issue of us being late on ordering what we needed last minute.

and its not fair to this company who has provided great service many times to burners. if you need it sooner, you have to pay overnight fees and be in constant communication with any business.

I'll jump on with a simple defense, Trick concepts is a good company with good people and normally a very clear how long things take. failure to take those variable into account will mean dissappointment.

that said:

"However, THIS I find fucking hilarious:
"... at our local burn event called Decompression."

I think I find this funnier:

she's from austin...it's called flipside.

Just curious why people have to be sour to people who are new to the scene/community?

Sure, speak up for the companies that you trust and use- that is great! People should ultimately do their own research on the companies they are choosing to purchase from anyways, and never make assumptions on products and services unless guaranteed by the place they are purchasing from. Make the extra phone call, send the extra email and get what you want.

But is it really necessary to mock someone because they use a language that is different than yours? Or have not had the same experience with burning man events as you? OR do not assume that everyone else has had the same amount of experience as they have? (I know, living in Tucson now, I would have wrote just about the same sentence if I was not sure how burner-heavy a tribe was... because no one out here knows what I say when I say, oh yeah, I am going to decom that weekend...)

The fire community and the burning man community both have pockets of people who are quick to mock and judge those from another place, those who are not submissive, those who grew up with different rules. It makes me sad. Thankfully there are also pockets of awesome, supportive people who want to cultivate fun and acceptance. Those people make me happy.

I <3 TC!
They have an amazing selection of high quality toys,
provide me with great shipping times and they are all wonderful people!!
I fail to find any reason to speak anything other than praise of Trick Concepts.
