the instagram and facebook thread was getting steered in a different direction and i wanted to move the conversation back here.
Random people popping in here to complain about wait times has been a bane of this subforum since it started. Lately there have been knowledgeable and invested people with real concerns about how things are going.
Do i think s!k needs to continue their damage control and keep working to improve business practices? Yes.
Do customers deserve to trust in what the company tells them? Also yes.
Have i seen any amount of complaints result in desired action? No.
Has our community here taken a big hit and suffered the consequences of widespread discontent? Sadly yes.
Did i see a massive change in november? No
are we starting to see better forecasting? It seems like.
I'm really hoping that the current time frame issues are from before november and the hard moving forward, we'll see a lot better.
Paying customers deserve accurate communication, but too many complaints hurt this group more than they "stick it to the man". Turning on eachother won't get us anywhere either.
As for the felony garbage, there was a super sleuth who brought that up in the most recent gbu thread. That seemed unnecessary to say the very least. I don't see why it needs to be brought up again.
I'm not in favor of downplaying polite and legitimate concerns, but if it has to be discussed in this subforum, i think it is best to keep it in an appropriate threads. If it gets too far spread it just turns off any enjoyable conversations and really won't get you the knife or refund you're after any sooner.
you're too good of a dude silver. People don't want their money back. They don't want their knives. They want drama. Here's the thread for it.
Does survive! Sell knives that are absolutely out of this world in bang for the buck? Yep, i bought and received 6 from the site this year. No gimmicks, just jumping in when they were for sale. 3 of those knives are out for good people to check out, i trust those people and i trust survive!.
in the interest of full disclosure, i'm pursuing interest in a survive!knives forum, separate from bladeforums. No clue if people would be interested, but i'd like a place to talk about these knives without people trolling every productive conversation.
oh, and i hope it goes without saying, but i'm just speaking for myself. Guy, ellie, jordyn, etc. None of them have signed off on this.
Thank you!!!!
