After the order hadn't been shipped for a couple of weeks, I checked in with Espresso Parts who informed me, "We apologize for the delay! This has not shipped out yet. We are catching up after being closed for annual inventory last week." Fair enough. But if you are going to take three weeks to deliver a simple order that is in stock, you need to communicate this to your customers. Their response was cursory, at best. I don't know why they have this attitude. Is it poor management; an overwhelmed workforce; a dominant position in the market so they don't feel the need to deliver customer service; or do they just not care about the service they provide? I am sure I will never know...
