Just once I'd wish Diamond would crate up a 9ft ProAm, ship it by a trucking company to the location it's going to...so that we can ALL read about the nightmare it was trying to get a forklift to get the crate off the truck...then trying to figure out how to get a pool table that weighs 1,230lbs all in one piece into the location...LMAO..I think that would be one hell of a thread....don't you?????? And you know what would be so funny about that...you couldn't blame Diamond for the nightmare...because you got just what you wanted...a Diamond 9ft ProAm right on time! I wonder how long it would take before someone called up Diamond complaining about how they can't get the table into their house or location...I tell you, I'd be laughing so hard it would hurt!!!! Maybe then someone would appreciate a little bit more what I do for a living! That's right, a "LIVING" as this is not just a job. NO ONE can do what I do, unless they're willing to give up everything that even resembles what someone would call a life!!!! I have no home to speak of, I live in the back end of a 15 ft box truck...shared by pool tables, so that people like you can wave your magic wands and just make things happen!
Let me ask you something, the 2 times when I was delivering pool tables up to Washington State back in late October and November and could have delivered your tables then....why didn't you request the delivery when it was on my schedule to be there???????? You had already placed your order....BUTTTTTTTTTT...you wanted to WAIT until you sold off the 4 tables you already had so you wouldn't have them in your way when the Diamonds showed up!!!!!!!....Well, you know what, there's a lot more people that I deliver tables to besides you guys...and they too have been waiting. So, when you're at the front of the line, and YOU choose to step to the rear of that line...don't complain about how long the line is ahead of you!
Now, back to Diamond going out of business...what a dumb thing to say, that was said to try and be spite full. One of the problems we have at Diamond IS the delivery of the tables, BECAUSE you can't ship them by trucking company on a dolly...they WON'T transport them. Then I guess Diamond could crate them for YOU, and ship them that way, but then...guess what?...YOU couldn't install them...except that then...it's YOUR problem...not Diamonds, because you got just what you paid for.
So, that leaves lil' ol' me, as I'm the only person in the world that is even willing to live my life on the road living in the back of a box truck....just so you can get your Delivery!
And to answer your question about how come Diamond don't just hire more people to deliver the tables, because I already know that's what you're thinking...so my answer to that one is...hey, just run an add in the paper looking for someone that weighs about 265lbs, that can lift Diamond 9ft ProAms like they weigh nothing, because you can't always count on help on the delivery end....hint hint, and they also must be able to recover and level pool tables exceptionally well, as in great, to avoid complaints back to Diamond about the work done...and oh yeah, the person should be single in life, because if he's not when he goes to work....he will be before long, and I might add, he shouldn't own a home, because he'll hardly ever see it again...AND, he has to be able to communicate well.....with himself, because for the most part...that's all he's going to be talking to as he's driving all over the country...playing Santa Claus!!!!!!!!!
Now, your tables are on the way, I'm trying to get there by hopefully this coming weekend, or at least before it's over...as I already told Holly...last week. Your tables were delayed because of the 2 storms that blew through the delivery area I'm in...and if you think I'm going to risk my life to deliver someones pool tables...you've got another thing coming...it's called a rebate!!!!!
Have a great day,
Glen
