Roland and Jerry, I have to agree with Susan. Haven, Cynthia, Patty, Kevin and all of the people at Melco have bent over backward to help Barb and I with any problem we have had. WE have had some of those problems reported on the AMAYAUSERS group including needle drops ( on two machines on the same day). Kevin used to stop in at least twice a month just to see what we were doing and how our four Amayas were working. We miss him now that he has moved to corporate, but he even went out of this way to see us when he happened to be in the area. We never hesitated to call tech help 800 number. Or call our sales person, Haven if ANY problem surfaced. Our experience has been nothing but GREAT.Lee and Barbara Ott Digital Stitchz 905 Texas Street Fairfield, CA 94533 (707) 426-9963 Phone (707) 426-9983 FAX Embroidery, Applique, Vinyl Lettering & numbers, Screenprinting & Laser Engraving From: signman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [amayausers.com] Re: Does Melco ignore their customers?Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 17:38:09 -0400To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx WEEKLY sales flyers? Wow... WE have never even recieved a YEARLY sales flyer via email...and the last MAILED Melcomart catalog I think is dated 2006.... you must be someone SPECIAL! How'd you get that rating?

When I call her, I ALWAYS get a phone call back…Same with emails. I also hear from Nick Reinking at MelcoMart on a regular basis. I have received phone calls just to check up to see if I needed anything from Nick, and receive the weekly sale flyer from him via email. Additionally, Cynthia Tisby gave me great training……and Patty has been wonderful as well over the years. As for techs, Kevin was/is a great Tech and since moving, have used another great tech, Greg Barber. Whenever I go to Trade Shows, I look forward to seeing each and everyone of them if they are there.

Subject: [amayausers.com] Re: Melco ignoring anyone else? I just read several posting on AmayaUsers.com complaining about the lack of communications from Melco Corparate. When I purchased our machines in 2004 I suggested a monthly news letter with a "Tip of the Month." You could include a special buy of the month too. The Group also mentioned a lack of communication from the sales rep. I can attest to that. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED BY MY SALES REP. Once she had the sale she disappeared with my money and was never heard from again. Jerry Niezgoda Traverse City, MI tr Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
