Title: Does LogRite ever answer there phone?
Post by: Schramm on February 18, 2013, 03:28:01 PM
I have been calling LogRite today, left messages and they are not responding.  I never buy anything without talking to a live person and go over the order before hand.  Surely they are not closed due to President Day are they.  Has anyone called them and talked to someone?

Let me know, weird to me when a business doesnt answer there phone.

Ok, well I called once this morning at 9am and left a message and again 15 minutes ago.  I am a small company and I am always making products and crates also but I answer my phone and return calls quickly after I am done.  I will just let them respond.

THanks

IMO, I really don't know why anyone would need to call Logrite.
I have purchased from LOGRITE in the past and just order their products online from their website. They have one of the most informative websites I've ever visited. Their explanations of their products are all I've ever needed.
Yes, they may be a small company but orders come in daily via of online sales. They stay busy.
They are one of the Forestry Forums TOP supporters and produce a "TOP OF THE LINE" product(s).

So if its your first dealings with any company.....it always pays to be a little patient.  :)

Look I have no doubt that Logrite is a good company, but I am one that likes to talk to people before I buy no matter how many videos and such they have.  I have many YouTube videos (over 40) on all kinds of products and how to's about my business but I answer my phone and there is only me, my wife and daughter (small company).  I dont think that it is Logrite in fact I think that there may be something wrong with there phone system as it dumps right to voicemail.  Dont read into this post I am not dogging them I am trying to contact them and if they are on this site I still have not gotten a call.

I actually am not working today as I have to babysit the children as it is a holiday today.

However, I dragged them into work this morning so that I could process a bunch of orders.  Train a new employee. Set up a new dealer. Posted on the forum.  Talked to my vendors about incoming materials, paid bills, did payroll, sent out quotes, etc. Being a small business and only 2 people who work the phones it is not always easy to get to every call.  I return all messages, so if you just leave your name and phone number I will call you back as soon as I can.  Email is a great way to get in touch with me you could leave your number and a good time to reach you in an email.

I love to talk to my customers especially forum members.

Tammy

about the phones.  Because we need to be mobile we use Grasshopper the entrepeneur's phone system.
It allows us to have different extensions and the calls roll to our cell phones.  This is great because I can take a call anywhere - in the shop, in the office or standing out in a field at a trade show.  It also allows us to set our business ours.  Outside of those hours the calls roll to voice mail automatically.  The biggest problem with this phone system is that it can handle more calls than the 2 of us can handle.  It just keeps racking up the calls.  I hear people beeping in my ear but I am already on the phone.  Eventually it will roll to voice mail.

So if you call on Saturday we don't know you are calling until we check our messages.

What's wrong with them taking a holiday today? I'm sure they work long enough hours that they deserve a day off once in a while.

Tammy, when are you going to admit that I am Logrite's biggest Fan?

Title: Re: Does LogRite ever answer there phone?
Post by: Schramm on February 18, 2013, 06:30:48 PM
Ok ok..... gesh I wasnt restless over this, just posed a question and did not need the 3rd degree!  I tried to get a hold of them today not thinking that anyone other then a Government agency would treat this as a Holiday (and schools of course).  I am not upset and I do not need to relax I simply asked knowing that you guys would know.  Since I posted I have got all these nice responses and also got 2 phone calls (which I answered both) from Forum members testing what I said about answering my phone.  I was NOT bashing the company, in fact I came back in and said that I thought that something was wrong with the phone system.  I did leave messages so I was just asking.  But I guess now I know.  Thank you so much for the quick responses and the education on spelling (one of the people told me the difference between there and their) as if everyone here spells perfectly.
Sorry if I seemed upset or if you felt that I was slamming the company as I was not I just was calling them to order a tool but as I explained I like to talk to companies that I buy from before I do so.  My reasons for that are mine so everyone really needed to do is tell me they were closed.

Sorry!

Apology accepted.  :)
Title: Re: Does LogRite ever answer there phone?
Post by: Schramm on February 18, 2013, 06:40:32 PM
Honestly guys it is an apology because everyone seemed to think that I was upset which I was not.  I also was not bashing I was trying to give them $700 but I just wanted to talk to them first as that is just the kind of person that I am and has nothing to do with no trusting the company.  I do trust the company but I called WoodMizer and many other mill manufacturers a number of times before I finally bought a mill.  I was just trying to get some answers on the phone on the best thing that would suit what I want to do and while the videos are great (love youtube) I just wanted to talk to someone.  Sometimes when you type and dont hear TONE then you misunderstand the direction I am going but it had nothing to do with being upset, just wanted to place an order.

Thanks
Rob

     I'd talk anybody I could into getting the LogRite fetching arch!  That is one really handy, well made, sweet piece of equipment.
     (And aside from any good-natured "sunburn" you might have gotten here, Tammy is not above ribbing you on the phone either.)
