Let's say I have a website. I sell product. Business is very, very good. So good, I suspend sales and paste on my website the following: I inform my salesperson/staff to NOT accept any more orders, thus no reason to be manning their sales emails on a Saturday evening
while probably in a bar. But, if they do reply to emails from those inquiring, the response should be along the lines:
This is basically the response you did receive. He's saying you can't have any until late February, but in a way that makes you want to discuss it further.
That's not what it says at all. It says the anticipated shipping date is in late February for an order
placed today and that is the main issue. According to the website you should not be able to place an order today so the whole discussion should not have happened. This just shows (for who is willing to see) what sort of people you are dealing with here.
Are you some sort of HF apologist?
