Good post, and I agree with you here..
I know Joe has many many detractors, but I've ordered supplies from him many times over the years and will do so in the future..
Only 'negative' issues would be a little slow on the shipping at times, which I can understand from time to time, and never more than a few days to a week later than what was expected, and shipping prices are higher than what I know they are for USPS shipping..
Hi,
No, I'm an authorized G2 dealer (since 6/7/13) and get them from g2tips.Com
I'm an authorized Kamui dealer and Tiger Products (Everests, Snipers, Onyx, etc..) dealer as well.
I get some of my repair supplies (I only do shaft and tip work), tooling, ferrules, and such from him on occasion..

G2 tips
It didn't bother you that Joe was having G2 tips made and putting G2 logo on them without G 2 permission ?
It sure seemed to bother the owners of G 2 .

Gotta love this. Can't blame the man. Joe's simple requests:
We enjoy talking with many of you but we ask that you please
Read This Before You Call:
Some of this may sound ridiculous but it's not to us.
1) Gather your thoughts before you call so you know what you are going to say.
2) Lower the radio, stereo or whatever it is these days that produces loud musical sounds.
3) Finish the argument with your mom, parents, wife, inlaw, son or whomever it is that you have a disagreement with prior to calling.
4) Make certain you have a good cell connection. This is paramount! We don't want to play, "can you hear me now".
5) Don't call us from your car because you have nothing else to do or no one else to talk to.
6) Don't call when you've been drinking. We don't understand alco-phonics.
7) If you just burned a doobie, call us tomorrow as time is not in slow motion for us.
8) If you just hit the meth pipe, call tomorrow as we are not here today.
9) If you just downed some dilaudids, see #8.
10) If you are calling to ask if something is in stock, the answer is we stock everything we sell so there is no need to call.
11) If you cannot find it on our web site, 99.9% of the time we don't carry it and no we don't know where you can get it; try Google. We are not the information desk at the library.
12) If you cannot communicate your thoughts in a logical, orderly, conscious and semi-intelligent manner perhaps you would be better served by calling our competitors and be sure to tell them we referred you.
13) Please do not call us if you don't speak fairly good English. We do not speak German, Italian, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, any Eastern European language, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese or Alienese. We speak English, period. Please email us if your English is not very good. We find this to be best.
14) To our friends in California: contrary to popular belief (in California), the world does not revolve around California. To the contrary, it revolves around eastern times so please adjust the time of your calls to coincide with when we actually work. And no, we do not work at 10pm in the evening nor when you get home from the pool room at 5am. (you can't imagine!)
15) Try to use your God given brains for more than just a hat rack; have some respect and consideration for us when phoning.
If the above sounds ridiculous to you, then come spend a week answering our phones! You'll have a revelation and fully understand the term, the 'dumbing down of America'.
Our phone policy: Please do not call to pick our brains or to just shoot the breeze. Time is precious and we're very busy. You do not need to call us to place an order; you can do that more efficiently and quicker online. If you have a question about a product, feel free to call. We do not provide 'how-to instructions' or 'free lessons' on cue construction over the phone. If we know you and we've built up a friendship, we are more inclined to offer out our advice and knowledge. Unless you've purchased from us or have taken our courses, we do not offer any phone support to anyone we do not know. Do not waste our time or yours with trying to pick our brain (what little we have left). Please respect our wishes.
Basically.... tire kickers, brain pickers - go away. Sincere people are most welcomed. We are very nice people and will go out of our way to serve you. We do not want to deal with leeches who waste our time (you know who you are). When and if you make an investment in us we will make an investment in you. It's that's simple.

when I had a storefront
When I had a storefront type business and a waiting room I posted some signs in the waiting room meant to be humorous. Some of them I realized were far too close to true and had to take them down. One of them I took down was, "This isn't Burger King, you get it my way or you don't get the SOB!"
I have never found Joe and his people to be as one way as I could be but he and they do have to manage time well. When he runs specials he sometimes ships out about an eighteen wheeler load of packages a day from old pictures I have seen. That kind of volume doesn't leave much room for chat.
Calling any supplier, I always write down the name and stock or part number of what I am ordering along with the listed price. Then I read my list, either name or stock number and verify the rest of the information. I can order over a dozen things in a few minutes and rarely get orders messed up. This benefits me at least as much as the supplier because when there is confusion we solve it at the time I am ordering, not after something shows up at my door.
