Versalab Parallel alignment tool BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I have got a package from versalab these days. I have purchased a PARALLEL alignment tool. One big reflective glass was broken when I opened the package. I told this circumstances versaleb. The response was beastly. This is the response of versalab: We have never, in thousands of units, had this problem. We have shipped around the world for years. Regards, John Bicht What should I say more??!! Univ.Prof. Bernhard Augl |

Actually, I found them very consumer unfriendly when I was looking to
buy one of their print washers. I live in Alaska and they were inflexible on shipping. I ended up buying a used one from someone who shiped it USPS, but Versalab mised a new product sale in the deal. They could learn some lessons from Lee Valley, L.L. Bean, etc. Bernard wrote: Hi, I have got a package from versalab these days. I have purchased a PARALLEL alignment tool.

Versalab has been in the darkroom business since 1996. Aside from our
print washers and Heiland densitometers and Splitgrade imports, we have sold over 1500 Parallels, both in America and internationally. We have a wonderful reputation, as can be seen in the Testimonials on our website, Versalab.com. We are very proud of having developed this reputation and obviously we want to take care of it. Since 1998, when we introduced the Parallel, only two customers have called to say the reflector was broken – both acknowledged that they had dropped it. In both cases, we replaced the reflector at no charge. When Mr Augl emailed us about his problem, we responded as he states – we wanted to enter into a conversation to see what had happened. Instead of conversing, he threatened. Even after we had promptly emailed back, the same day March 25, that we would take care of him, he then posted on this site that we were not taking care of him. Versalab's situation needed to be posted also. His reflector, at no charge for the part or the overseas postage, has been sent to him. We always take care of our customers, even if there are a few who don't take care of us. Thank you for listening. |

Instead, you used language that implied (from the customer's perspective) that there would be difficulty with his getting a replacement. Whenever I've been told "this has never happened before", I've always had troubles with the seller. Plus, instead of simply stating that the problem was fixed, you impugn your customer on a public forum. That's very bad form. I own two Versalab products, the parallel and the 11x14 print washer, but I'll hesitate buying anything else. Try dealing with Lee Valley if you want to see how customer service should be handled. -Peter De Smidt |

For what it's worth, I just received my Versalab Parrallel and the
reflectors were not broken. What I also find funny is two Germans upset over customer service... In this country, customer service is about as extinct as Saber Tooth Tigers... I'm still waiting for the einmischhebel for my shower that I asked if it was still available in December, February came the 'Yes' answer and then could place the order. I still can't use my new shower... I wouldn't have asked if they had one if I wasn't going to buy it if they did (Globus Baumarkt, St. Wendel)!!! __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |

Yes, I do, as both parties agreed on the content of the original exchange. -Peter |
