Has this business wronged you? When people use the internet as a means of anyonymous bashing towards a business whether they believe they are right or wrong, it can have large implications for the business. If I feel that my experience was good and not similar to the negative review, I may feel obligated to share my experience just as the person sharing their negative experience feels they should share theirs. This is fair.

That's the point lol. Dense as can be. There should be implications. Shit business, shit service = business could be affected. Oh no sean, is that troubling you?
Good for you? Thanks for the input that you've had good experiences with them. Real useful stuff. Great conversation.
You are as much in the right to tell people about your negative experience as I am to tell people about my positive experience. Neither is wrong. The delivery of the review or opinion is also important.
You're welcome to share but positive reviews in this instance are essentially worthless. That's like you going on Yelp and leaving a positive review when your local Walgreens pharmacy fills your prescription correctly... people who have had no issues shouldn't be noteworthy.
From your comments here and elsewhere, it seems like you might be a difficult customer to interact with.
If I knew you were coming anywhere near my business, I wouldn't answer the phone or open the door either.
except when the positives that amount to a company doing the most basic level of service are presented as contradictions that negate the negative and negligent experiences a variety of people have experienced. That's the thing that seems silly to me.
Yes it has a large implication on a business and if that doesn't motivate them to do better, that's on them. And if it's not enough to get them to care, well why should we risk our money and peace of mind for them?
And when one person says something that means little, but when the same complaints come up again and again, well.... That carries weight.
More people will spout off on negatives than provide a positive comment. I am willing to bet there are more satisfied customers than unsatisfied. Even smokingpipes.com has people that don't like them
and I would bet that a significant portion of those satisfied customers have no interest in talking about their experience publicly, and if they did it would be a decision to violate this forums rules, as well as their country’s customs laws.
There’s some thick heads here.
4Noggins does a very nice job servicing our friends abroad who would otherwise have problems procuring things we in the states take for granted.
If for no other reason than that, just shut the fuck up with your whining.

Hi there!
I am the OP that got this side-show off to a start. Despite no email replies, no answering of the phone, sitting on the order for a long time, I placed another order with 4noggins for $200. It was out the door and on its way in a couple of days. I (and the owner) don't know what happened to my first order - guess it should have "turned left at Albuquerque" (you have to be of a certain age to understand that remark).
Because of my pipe smoking club's experience with them years ago, I didn't want to believe they were a bad company. Based on this, my second order, all is well. I will order from them a third time.
As an aside, I have been watching on YouTube various videos on piper lifestyle, public presentation, etiquette, bearing, manners, and comportment. It made for very good watching. I never realized that smoking a pipe called for such a distinguished life!

I looked through YouTube and tried to find the various videos I have watched. It is rather time consuming. I found one that I can share. From that one you can probably track down others.
Pipe Smoking: An Unwritten Code of Behavior
Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this!
The implication that a pipe smoker has to abide by a set of rules, conduct themselves in a particular manner, or live a certain way immediately disqualifies the maker of that video from any serious consideration.
It's a secret society whose practices are shrouded in mystery. You have to be referred by two current members in good standing, and be initiated.
That's not always the case. As a business owner myself I am usually doing a lot of the work, hands on. I would say 50-70% of calls I get are spammers or salesmen. I dont have time for playing with them. I usually figure if they don't leave a message it was spam.
I've always had great luck with 4noggins.com. I've even had a few items that were backordered with my orders and shipped at a later date without a hitch.
