Approximately 10 days ago, a local company placed a order for a 40 meg
hard card from Great Valley Products.  The sales folks said "Yes, they
have it in stock, and it will be out blue label (2 day air). " 

Needless to say that the unit did not arrive.  The company called back
to GVP and they were told that they had run out of that particular drive,
and that is why the unit was not shipped, however they would ship it the
next day.

Well, yesterday 03/28/89 GVP was called again, they were very apolgetic
and said that they would ship it red label (next day air).  Guess what,
it is not here.

Why is it these companies lie like this?  Could they not simply say that
they did not have any available?  WE also ordered a lot of PC hardware
from several different sources, all of it arrived.

AND ON TIME WITH NO EXCUSES.

Why do Amiga product companies look so mickey-mouse.  It really hurts
the image of the company, and the amiga world in general.  Amiga in
use by business?  Hah, you can't even get the companies to ship the
stuff...
