Boyds gunstock terrible service

I understand the OP's position and appreciate that we recognize that we are not their "only" customer, but a little customer service goes a long way. There is also realistic expectations. If we spend premium money, we can expect a premium product and customer service that supports that. But in manufacturing things can and will happen, especially with "custom" products.

This is a great post. To label a company with "terrible service" after even a week of no contact, is something I personally wouldn't do. So many online ratings now days where literally anyone can give a one star without even purchasing a product, is a scary deal for a lot of companies, and it's not right.

There is certainly a place for it though, I admit it keeps the companies honest, when need be.

Here I agree. I can't stand reading, "customer reviews" any longer. Because they're all over the map. One guy gives it, "5 Stars" and say's it's the greatest product he's ever seen. While the next review rates it, "1 Star", and say's it's junk. And then there is everything in between. You don't know what or who to believe. Just like gun forums, everyone is a self proclaimed "expert". Yet you don't even know if they've ever fired a shot, or own a gun. The first thing I have started looking for is if the poster kisses the moderators a$$. If that's the case they are usually a basement dweller looking for attention. And if someone uses the word "Dude" or else types, "LOL" anywhere, I immediately paint their I.Q. at room temperature. While that may not be 100% accurate, it filters out a lot of the noise out there.
