I cannot recall any bad experiences I had with communicating with a business.  Usually I do not forget when I have a bad experience.  Although I did have a pleasant interaction with a business this past week. 

I went to Fry's Electronics to purchase some more label maker tape for my label maker device, and they no longer carry the brand I have.  So I went online to see if I could order some more tape.  I went to PtouchDirect.com and was able to order some tape at a relatively affordable price.  The price was a little cheaper through PtouchDirect than through Fry's Electronics.  The website had a better and bigger selection, and I was able to get different colored tape.  The website was easy to navigate.  I typed in my model number and was able to query the database to show what I needed without too much hunting around.

If I do not have to contact a representative of a company, especially while conducting business online, than I believe it was a good transaction.  The less I have to do the better, and it was easy to do in the luxury of my own home.

  1. Great point. When I'm buying things through Amazon or another online vendor, if I have to contact someone to get what I need, then most likely there has been a problem somewhere along the line. At the same time however, it is a sad, yet inevitable thing we have come to when a "good" shopping experience means less actual contact with another human being.

  2. It is nice when you encounter a business website that just works really well.
