Placed an order on-line Saturday morning... received email acknowledging the order. Contained in the email was this statement:
"Within 24-72 hours you will receive an e-mail confirmation from our Internet Sales Department. Included will be an image of your order."
On Wednesday I responded via email asking for a status.... no response.
As of yesterday (Thursday) I had heard or received nothing so I started calling. First two attempts to order status (ext. 1219) went to voice mail. Message was left but not returned. Third attempt I went through the menu to parts and the call was answered.... I was put on hold while they attempted to find the right guy. He was not found but I was able to get a status, the items were there but had not shipped. Was assured they would begin the process (how long would they have sat had I not called?).
Need to take into account that an order placed on Saturday won't be looked at until Tuesday at the earliest. The problem I have with any on-line ordering system is when an established process is not not followed or feedback is not given. Experience tells me that nothing is happening due to a slip-up and usually I have a bike on the lift or a schedule to be kept and being in limbo is not acceptable.
Since this thread relates to Customer Service I'll refrain from going into the MAX BMW Sales or Service categories....
