Oh, those merry pranksters at Larson-Juhl!
Faced with the welcomed news last month that Larson-Juhl was raising its prices, I complained on this forum that their online site was not up to date.
I complained to my sales rep, too. He called the IT department, waking them up from their nap and, so, after a few weeks they updated the pricing web site. Cool. According to their site, the page was updated on July 29, 2004 and the prices would go into effect August 16. Thanks, Larson-Juhl!
Being a Mac user, I had to find a PC buddy who was still speaking to me, send him the file, have him extract the data and send it back. Okay, not too much of a problem. (He’s still p*ssed at me for sticking him with a bar bill, but ... that’s another story.)
When I compared this “updated” version to my current price list, I was thrilled. The prices went down pretty near 20¢ a foot. Wow! That’s amazing!
Then I looked at the creation date of the “pricetxt.exe” file … <u>April</u>, 2004.
Now, instead of being able to update my pricing in 20 minutes, I’ve got to blow this up coming weekend going through Larson-Juhl’s squint-print paper edition culling pricing information in eye blurring 3 point type.
Thanks, Larson-Juhl, youse guys really know how to tell a joke. No wonder your customers are so pleased with you.
