If you have time to read and comment on forums, you have time to call, or just google Patriot Campers Ball Weight.  In 2 seconds you can get some articles.  Not sure how old they are but surely weight hasn't changed much.

I despise talking on the phone,  If I can't walk into your store or do business via electronic means, then I will not spend a cent with your company. I do not carry my phone with me, I will ignore calls from people, will not answer unless i know the number and rarely return calls even to my own family. If it's really important they will ring me 17 times. Or my wife.
i must be your polar opposite...no interest at all communicating via emails and I've never joined Facebook etc. I expect people to answer their phones and be able to speak to someone who knows all about their products they sell, and I expect to not wait forever on hold also...hence why a mower shop I rang on Sunday missed out on me spending $400 at it. After waiting over 15 minutes on hold I hung up, why bother being open on a Sunday if you don't staff the place to handle it's business, I'll buy that product in the future somewhere else now.

That was what I was thinking.

And sometime the new way, email etc, doesn't always work, as in, I've had clients ring me saying ,"did you get that email I sent yesterday?"  And I e sent quotes to clients who have then rang asking were there quote is?

Anyway, I contacted patriot for you and yes they are still open.  I contacted via FB and webpage and got response on both.  :cheers:

So you didnt get the new ball weight then? Maybe a quick email to find that out? The first three emails were very late at night...for some reason they never answered their phone... the nerve!

Like i said earlier...that's MY preference to do business...ALL forms of communication. I dont have a problem with others not using facebook or email. In fact, i appreciate the honesty of those that only put a phone number on their website. I just dont appreciate being on hold for more than 2 minutes if i am forced to call.
My post was about offering the service of electronic communication and not being attentive to it. My background is Law + IT (ip) and i just dont buy "nah we never got the email". Thats the thing people say when they never replied or they havent checked rheir email. Its the modern version of "your cheque is in the mail".
 Im not angry they didn't follow it up but disappointed. 7 other camper places all responded to my emails over this last week within 5 hrs of me reaching out to them. 1 took 24 hrs.
I'm not saying my way is the only way and i am certainly NOT casting dispersions on anyone that prefers to call. Sorry if it came across like that - it was unintentional. Hoping a couple of you can accept it as my personal choice.

Or more likely.. I got 10% off your ball weight for ringing.
You had an 11% premium on the ball weight they quoted me for IT fees.
Or they make it up.

True. I saw Evolution on FB, gave him a poke and he responded within a short time. I went out and had a chat because i had a truck load of questions. He's a dead-set legend and knows his stuff.
