I had posted about my frustration in the gig bag thread
the latest in my saga with WWBW to get my gig bag....
So the day after we got the mic instead of the bag, my father (who works from home, so I had it shipped their since no one could sign for it in my apartment nor want to drive from Evanston to Northbrook to get it from UPS)... he called and talked with someone... eventually (saturday) the found my bag in Kansas City.... and my dad was told they could overnight it (which he'd be in Chicago at that point...), so he and I were both told it was going to be shipped out (standard ground, per my dad's request not mine). Based on the last shipping, it should be here tomorrow or Thursday. Still plenty of time for me to take the 6 hour round trip via train & CTA to Indiana and get my bag before my community band meets....
This morning I find out they refunded my bag!!! So basically... waking up and seeing that, I'm pretty.. perturbed... This does not shine well with WWBW and in my latest ordering, I had decided to go straight to the manufacturers and pay a little extra just because I felt I could trust them more (I bought a mouthpiece)...
Anyway. I'm just extremely frustrated at this point...
As much as I want to like WWBW, I'm finding it hard to want to buy anything from them.
--- okay, so why it's so important to me to get that bag: My community band only meets once a month, I just bought a new-to-me euphonium and I really want to play it next week... So I ordered, with plenty of time to have my dad bring it to me, my gig bag... I live in Evanston, near Chicago... and travel over an hour (taking the El, then two different buses) just to get there. Carrying my horn without a case isn't really an option in my mind.
sorry to sound all whiny... but I get up before 6a, and well, getting news like this that early isn't fun....
