Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!
I emailed them more than twice, but I wouldn't bother next time. I know these guys are not in a rush to respond. I know they are careless with what email accounts they use and then suddenly not use. No one should have to chase customer service after paying hundreds of dollars. And I don't think they're being robbed of any time when they're simply not responding to multiple attempts. Anyone who has a problem should try them twice, then go to PayPal, and expect to wait a week or more for BC to respond to even THAT.
21 days is just crazy, especially when one has a 45 day window from the day they paid until the day one's rights expire. If it takes 2 weeks for the figure to arrive in the first place, 21+14= 35, which would mean BC only has 10 days left to make any problems right! Given them taking 7 days to reply once you go to PayPal, that would give them 3 days to fix a problem, which is impossible.
That is not terrible advice. If you send several different emails regarding the same thing, you not only rob time from investigation of other legitimate queries, and you will also come off as a bit of a pest.
Ignore the bold and underlined section of the above post. Maintaining the same channel of communication is always going to be better, as you can always refer to specific parts of the past conversation...not quite so easy if said conversation is spread over several different trails of emails.
WOW! Just two attempts at communication and straight to a PAYPAL dispute? And you're saying that my advice is bad?
If my advice was bad then that must make yours seriously
