Rebecca,

My AC Moore has the needles as well, I am going tonight to pick up an extra set for myself, and I was planning on sending you a second hat this week, would you like me to pick up a set of them for you? Drop me a line and let me know.

Rebecca,

I could pick some up for you on my way home from school tonight.

 

They had 3 packs of 36 gauge needles for $6

and then they had a wooden needle handle w/ 3 36g needles for $14.

 

You might want to take a look around online though. The stuff I'm reading now looks like having a variety of needle sizes helps to get the results you want. There is something called a 38 gauge star point needle that is supposed to have more barbs so it felts faster.

 

Now that's not to say I mind getting them, I don't at all!!!!

Just want to make sure you are getting what you want <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bounce012.gif" />

 

I don't leave for school until 5 (eastern) so let me know.

I'm stuck in the house all day because boyo is still sick.

Hmph..boyo looking for food....he can wait a minute <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/hee.gif" /> Anyway, it's not that the 36g are wrong, but if you were going to order stuff anyway, it looks like there are cheaper ones out there. If you want me to grab a 3 pack of needles, they will fit in a flat envelope so you can get playing while you contemplate other options <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/hyper.gif" />

I think we need our own blog (lol). I am almost finished puttin my ballerina bear together. What is taking so long you may ask? Well, I am having trouble getting any free time lately. But I will finish it tonite, I promise,and post pics tomorrow.

Rebecca, tell them you will leave them negative feedback if they don't hurry up and send it. That is horrible (and the kind of thing that usually happens to me). I usually get a quick response if the other party thinks they might get neg feedback. Good luck! I would send you needles if I thought you'd get them any sooner from up here.

Good luck!

:ducky :w-flake :ducky

Yahoo, I am done. I just have to make the tutu tomorrow and it is complete. Now I know why I put off finishing it....cos I have to send it away when it is done, and I don't want to part with it. Oh well, there will be others no doubt.

See, she did go to a good home <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/toothygrin.gif" /> I wish I had known about your needle dilema before I mailed your package though!

 

Holly

Oh that super sucks!!!!! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/irked.gif" />

They should have been falling all over themselves for the initial screw up. What was their excuse this time????

Yayyyy!!!

Get playing! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

As far as feedback, I think a neutral is in order w/ an explanation they did finally make it right. If they had sent it fed ex after the *first* phone call about the missing items, I'd give them a positive. It took you what...3 calls? Did they at least give you some extra goodies??

That is nice to hear Rebecca. Customer service and P.R. are essential to a company's success. Anyone can make a mistake, but a good company leave you feeling good about them. What are you having trouble with on the bear?
