It amuses me to see grown adults crying over having to wait for a video game controller.

eastmcduckrealistically, i am crying over poor customer service. this controller doesnt mean much to me. i didnt need it right away (otherwise i would have bought it on amazon). and when i do get it, i will probably use it once a year.
my anger is with the company, their lack of service. ignoring irritated comments. not giving updates.
its doesn't matter if you are buying a car or stick of gum. customer service is a huge biggie to me.

CMoney408So go to the help section on the website. Complaining in the comments section is only going to get you smart-assed remarks from people like me.

eastmcduckwhat it does is bring the problems to light to the rest of the community. if their comment sections are filled with complaints it will push potential customers away. if that happens they might actually step their game up.
helping me specifically is only part of the issue. being better at responding to customers issues is their larger problem.
i am not bothered by your remarks. it only further fills their threads with hate, which in turn will only put a worse image on their company and practices. so in the end should help them want to turn things around!

CMoney408Yeah, and I'm part of the rest of the community and don't appreciate impatient assholes bringing negative light to an otherwise great site. Shit happens, get over it. If you don't want to risk the wait, then don't shop here.

eastmcduckActually I personally think highly of a site that has negative press and then improves after the fact. It shows growth and learning. In the end, if we don't hold businesses to higher standards, we get lower quality service. This is a learning opportunity for Massdrop, let it play out.

eastmcducki am 100% ok with shit happening. i dont even need the controller for anything in particular, just bought it because it looked cool.
my complaints are not because my lack of patience. my complaints are on the lack of customer service, duh. if you cant execute your primary goal as a company effectively, at least make customer service outstanding. i mean they exist to mass buy and deliver products, and have been doing that for years (i am guessing). it shouldn't be a shock to them on how to do that objective efficiently. but shit happens, so ok, a drop gets backed up or fumbled, thats ok. but step your game up with it comes to fixing that "shit".
best customer service is never needing customer service. 2nd best, is customer service that listens, acknowledges, responds, and fixes issue. 3rd best, is customer service that at least listens, acknowledges and responds with the goal of fixing issues. MD hasnt done that. yes they give some half assed general comments about working hard, but that doesnt cut it, lol.
i totally see the usefulness of MD, its a great concept. but their execution isnt great. and trust me, this was my first and last drop. i will pay the $8 difference and buy from amazon next time for 2 day shipping. i have already mentioned that their "savings" are massively inflated. they should compare their savings to the cheapest the product is going from a reputable site, not to the MSRP that the product might have been for a single day when it first came out. people buying on MD are smarter then that. c'mon now.

CMoney408Your complaints would probably be addressed by the correct people if they were in the correct place. This drop is obviously a fluke, due to the overwhelming demand. I bought into the FC30 pro drop, too, and that one went just fine. The manufacturer is technically to blame, not massdrop, and even then, try being the manufacturer all of a sudden receiving a bulk order for 1650 controllers from someone other than one of their resellers. Something tells me they don't get orders like that every day. Contact them directly and see how long it would take them to fill an order of that size while still maintaining a flow of shipments for orders outside of massdrop. The real world functions differently than whatever fantasies people tend to have in their heads involving themselves being put first. If you want to let your first experience be your last, go right ahead. Just means one more open slot for someone else to order. If you went to the help section, you could probably get a refund before they even ship one to you. This company has always had good customer service, you're just not addressing the problem correctly.

eastmcduckin that case. MD F'd up when they re opened the drop. they should have closed that 150 orders and processed them. then later open up the additional 1500. this would have given the manufacturer more time to prepare. MD shouldnt have just extended the original drop, now messing up the original orders while at the same time putting undo stress on the company they are ordering from. so they are still in the wrong.
MD, is the mastermind, they still have a place for blame. they are representatives of the companies and products they sell. they should stand up for all their products.
your right, people should complain directly as well, but like i said. i never really cared too much about the product. all my comments are complaining about their service on the thread.
they are definitely not addressing the problem correctly. should 10, 100, hundreds or thousands of people have to write a formal complaint to get an answer? they have this very open form of communication that would shut me up and put a lot of other people at ease, USE YOUR FORUM MD!!!!!

CMoney408Would you read through hundreds of comments on a single drop among hundreds of drops just to attempt to comfort one person who's unhappy with their wait? This isn't a fancy sit-down restaurant, bro. It's an online middle man for group orders. There is no law that obligates them to give you special treatment by seeking you out in the comments. Go to the help center if you want help, otherwise you're just going to keep feeling ignored. Sounds to me like you've fallen victim to your own sense of entitlement, as is a problem with the majority of Americans anymore.

eastmcduckthese comments didnt happen all at once. they have been pilling up. if i have the time to read them, they damn well should have someone reading them hahahaha.
this isnt about pleasing me personally. again, if i wanted that, i would contact directly. this is about having better customer service, being better at reaching out to your customers as a whole. better at answering question(s) that multiple people have.
they should focus on becoming a better middle man if that is their main service.
a law, lol. maybe i should start a petition to make it a law that MD has to respond to every comment!!!! hahahaha.
for the 1000th time. i dont expect a direct response. i dont even want a direct response on details to my order specifically.
i just wish they would comment in this thread so all customers get the alert and say something like "we messed up, we sent out the last orders first. our first batch that we sent out was for 842 units. have 232 units coming in today confirmed with tracking. these 232 will now go to the first 150 orders and 100% will ship out by tomorrow. the reason you havent received any shipment notification is because we dropped the ball." i hope you get the point or what is expected by the customer.
