You send an email asking a few questions to a sponsor and they only answer one question and end the email with "place your order soon!" So then you email them back about the questions they didn't answer and they don't reply?

I've only used one sponsor here so far to buy some parts and their customer service was A++++++. I really hate it when you ask something simple and you get a short reply ending with "buy something soon!" What the hell, what happened to customer service?

I agree 100%. I personally don't bother giving a shop my biz when they don't even acknowledge the fact that the customer is the reason they're in biz in the first place

I hate when the shops list phone numbers but no matter what time you call, no one will ever answer the phone.

They need a sponsor rating so you can rate the sponsors
