amaco and their velvets

Hi all,

You can imagine my surprise when I see from AMACOBRENT@aol.com
that they really do have the Velvets, that the person at the Brickyard
when I called to reorder must have been kidding.....

I got the information that the Reward Velvets I was looking for were no
longer available FROM AMACO (BRICKYARD) when I called to reorder.

While I am grateful to this (unnamed) representative of the company
finally enlightening me...where was he/she when I first reported this
problem.....you can all imagine my chagrin.

This is not the first time I have been put to considerable trouble by
misinformation from people at Amaco when I have called there.

I was very disappointed and upset when I got that infomation that
day and I'm very sure I said things that would have made it obvious that
I didn't give a damn what the bottle said but I was relying on the colors.

I asked AMACOBRENT@aol.com for the name and address of some VP of sales so I
can complain where it will do some good.

I would welcome any contribution of ideas or anything else on this from
anybody on this list who might help improve this situation.
