If this is not the place for this please accept my apologies and move it to the correct section - I put it here because it addresses the business side of things
I am pretty new to this site and have spent much more time reading than posting, but since I know that this is THE site for those of us who love the hot stuff as well as those "in the business" I wanted to address something here
I am both a consumer and a collector of hot sauce - In attempting to order sauces online I have run into a couple of problems time and again
First - Why do people who sell sauces online continuously have sauces listed which are out of stock? I know that something runs out on occasion but I just attempted to place an order online and gave up when I had 11 different items come up as out of stock and I was only to the C's - at least this particular site listed them as out of stock when I tried to order - most places you only find that an item is out of stock when you actually receive your order - Am I out of line in asking that someone who wants my money spend the time cleaning their website up and keep things current?
I know to many here having a bottle of hot sauce that is not opened and consumed is pretty much sacrilegious, but as I said I am a collector as well as a consumer - I like the hot stuff on my tongue but I also like the hot stuff on my wall - I collect hot sauce for the very same reason that I eat hot sauce - because I want to
Anyway - it is as a collector that this rant comes from - again to web sites - KEEP YOUR PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTION CURRENT! Sometimes I want a particular sauce for my collection because the label has changed - When I order from the description and the photo I expect to receive what I see and read - But when I actually receive my order I find that what I get is not what I actually ordered but rather the newer version that I already have - One place I complained to put the blame on the people they order from, I guess it was a drop-ship operation - Excuse me, but I ordered from YOU and I expect YOU to keep YOUR site up to date - when you don't you are wasting my time
OK rant over (this particular one anyway) Thanks for putting up with me
