This kind of angers me... BFL gives promoters the items out of line.
I have the absolute first SC Single order (#1656), and not even a shipping notification yet.
Orders start before 1600.
Months ago, a BFL employee confirmed that I was the first order. Humans make mistakes, sure, but I really wish you as a company would be a little more straight-forward, forthcoming, and transparent.
No hard feelings, Josh. I know you do your best

Any idea who sent you that info? I'm not sure why they would have said that... but it may have been during the transition from our old system to our new system. This is why it's hard to hire temp employees.
BFL have such a terrible reputation, mainly due to the fact they are rude to customers, and make up excuses. Funny isn't it, that comment fits the bill exactly! First Josh says "I'm not sure why they would have said that..." insinuating that Garr is lying. Then Josh decides to bumble over a few excuses. Classic BFL! If only they could get these simple things right, they wouldnt have such a backlash. I dont even know if they mean to do it.
Ohh wow. Check this out:

This means that it is very probable that BFL is straight up lying, and shipping units to people who promise to promote their products.
Just to be clear: An honest mistake is perfectly acceptable in my mind; we're humans after all. Lying, however, is not acceptable IMO.
(Credit for finding that goes to an anonymous "friend", you know who you are

)
Wow! I feel so sorry for you and after you were so nice to that piece of crap. Bad Karma will catch up with them eventually (or maybe the police).
