I recently purchased a tv bulb from your company. To be more precise, I gave your company money for a tv bulb, you took the money and kept the bulb. Where I'm from, that's stealing.
You say "negative comments attract more attention"..you are correct, especially when the negative comments are consistantly the same. You take people's money, followed by faking the shipment by printing the label, then sit back and wait for the next victim. Stress free for you and your associates because there is no way to speak any of you..thanks to your answering machine that I'm guessing is on mute somewhere out of sight.
I have left 3 voice messages, and have sent 2 e-mails over a week ago...no reponse from anyone at your company..and worse...my TV is still a black screen and you have my money. You also said that you are "striving to do better" in your lie of a rebuttal..it's been almost two years ago and yet this "negative comment" appeared..why is that? And I truly hope my comment attracts plenty of attention. Hopefully, I'll save others from suffering this aggravation and frustration caused by your poor business practices. It's pretty simple, send people what they paid you for, and in the time frame you promised. I bet your TV has a fine picture right now. Mine doesn't.

We are sorry to hear of the problems with your order.
Yes, we are a company that does very high volume unfortunately, we sometimes makes mistakes in customer service.This is not intentional. The percentage of complaints to the number of transactions we complete is very small but every individual customer is important to us and we are striving to make improvements and do better.
In the internet world, any individual who wants to voice their opinion can. The ones who wish to write negative things will always attract attention we wish more of our positive attributes and experiences were listed as well. ( We have shipped more than 100,000 orders )
Best Regards,
