A RANT: Contacted 3 aluminum replacement window mfg,
twice each in the past 3 weeks. Only one has responded
in a somewhat timely manner with info and pricing. If we ran our shops
this way we wouldn't last very long. How can they be so damn
independant with the construction industries in the current
downturn? I don't get it. Anybody else dealing with construction
guys finding the same thing?
 
Cut Sales to the bone? One mfg I talked to an inside
sales person and an office person at another. Both
places said they would get info right out. Still waiting.
 
I've often wondered this myself. Some years ago I wanted an addition on my house, and decided to contract out the shell. It wasn't a big project, but not too trivial either, and at the time (mid 80's) a lot of contractors were hurting and whining about not enough business. I called three, including one who was a personal acquaintance, and who I know could have used the work. Only one actually showed up, the biggest, least troubled and busiest of the three. Guess who got the job?
