I've worked for big companies and small companies in some customer service capacity. IMO,always better to bend over backward if your a small

company because very few of the big ones do. Even if you take a loss. 

Most of time, people make decisions based on price and convenience. You do what you can to compete there, but the better the customer service, the more likely you are to get the customers that aren't driven by P&C.

We're all different, just my opinion. not saying you are running your business wrong. 

Question inside for you: Its about customer service and you can simply answer A,B,or C islander May 29, 09:10

B. Though any bad attitude might move me to C. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! May 29, 10:05

B or C, depending on many factors. As a small business owner, I have to make this decision all the time. {nm} BSmurf May 29, 10:15

B but not at cost, I would not lose money. {nm} damenchipguy May 29, 10:49

thanks so far! Being in small business retail, I try to go "A" as much as is reasonable. Recently, had to go "C" islander May 29, 11:55

A. Costco would provide a Replacement at no charge. B is a poor second choice. C stands for being a C*nt. RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 29, 12:58

its too bad you continue to be so rude islander May 29, 14:09

apple gave me a brand new ipad to replace the one i cracked when drunk. I even told them I was drunk when it cracked. {nm} Moviesnob May 29, 14:46

There is a huge difference in what a large company is able to afford in terms of loss vs customer retention compared to a small business. {nm} BSmurf May 29, 16:22

You're right in your observations, but there is a big difference between providing good customer service and being taken advantage of. BSmurf May 29, 17:37

yup, my assumption here is we're dealing with a positive customer {nm} Moviesnob May 29, 18:00

It's past the warranty. There's nothing you can really do. So I say go with B. Maybe 10% above your cost. {nm} skamanfu May 29, 14:13

this is definetly a fascinating question and one that i have dealt with over the past 15 years. rustyshackleford Jun 04, 21:08
