Yeah, I can't figure it out either. It's like loyalty as a whole doesn't exist. I do appreciate this topic being brought up however. See, I considered myself loyal to those who help me with customer service. Here's how it went down. I went to my local paint supply and saw a paint gun I wanted. I figured since I didn't have too much paint business at that time that it was ok if I didn't buy from them. I can't just buy stuff on a whim or just go and get it when it's needed. I have a daughter on the way, I am a first year business owner in a small town with morgage to pay. That's how I justified myself. I wound up chosing a mid line gun. I noted the price and then I went online to where a buddy gets his paint and stuff from. I looked and saw the same paint gun was about 50 dollars cheaper. Shipping wound up being more than I expected and I saved a whopping 20 dollar bill all said and done. After I get the gun I have to shoot a couple things. Alright, right? Well, I have to get the paint from the paint store! Soon my lid gets a crack. I need a new one. Yeah the guilt is really setting in. Getting a lot more paint work. Now I need a higher end gun to do mainly clear. Do I go to the internet? After all the looking and fondling of the high end Iwata, you bet I bought it from the paint store! They even gave it to me for what that website listed it as before shipping! Yeah even more guilt! GO WITH THOSE THAT HELP YOU!!! Honestly, 20 bucks? Was it worth it? Nope. Internet sites cannot go to your shop and demo a product. Nor can they help you when the weather is different such as paint gun settings and material use. I learned the hard way and I considered myself loyal but was shown what I really was. Don't learn the hard way like me!
