Here is a email I received after placing an order:
Too funny...He is a little sensitive

"I'm trying real hard to think of any reason why I should fill your order.
After all the bad shit you & Martin have said about me, you’re both a couple of losers in my book but I feel obligated to Paypal not to kick yopur ass to the curb.

How about you go on tmf and list all the reasons.
then repeat it over on MB.
If I like what I read I’ll consider it."

[davegillfishing]

wow that is actually funny..i love how he decides who he will work with and who he will not..

he has balls!! more people should in my opinion.

 

[Mikey P]

lol..

I wonder how he handled his customers when he was a carpet cleaner who called in to complain about wicking, odors or pricing..

 

[Jim Martin]

I said noting bad about him....and what I said was true....

I got the same dis-claimer about 2 weeks ago before any of this even started and he was not brought up on any of the boards that I know of.....

I asked him 2 weeks ago in a e-mail if I could order some stuff........

I figure once you get tired of that Vortex and finally push it over a cliff..you will kick me out of here anyway.........

 

[Bob Foster]

Its the secret unfulfilled wish of every supplier in this industry to tell at least one (if not a dozen) carpet cleaner to go F themselves and not come back.

Come to think of it I recently heard a story how a major rug cleaning company in the northwest US did just that. Apparently they had a very unreasonable carpet cleaner who was told never to come back by this company he was subcontracting his rug cleaning to.

[Billy]

What I don't understand is why people that have obviously been targeted by his hostility still try to purchase from him? :roll:

 

[Jim Martin]

Joe thinks outside the box..he has good ideas and good products...

for awhile there he was the only fish in the water...then a few pissed in his pond and the rest is history.....

 

[Mikey P]

on another note, tomorrow we will be auctioning off a complete set of Cuff Lynks.

Every thing you need to outfit one truck's worth of hose, cuffs, starters, converters, 2.5 if you want mix and match


even Joe can bid hey Marty, blow me

 

[Billy]

Yes I understand that but buying from him just comes with too much drama & I have seen nothing he has I can't get somewhere else or substitute for a comparable item.





Disclaimer: If it isn't obvious I have had issues with Joe that haven't been forgotten based on personal experience so my opinions could be a little biased even though I try to be as un-biased as I can.

 

[Jim Martin]

don't think no one is hurting here Billy..We can get what ever I need I just have to go thru different channels to get it...

 

[AJR]

I am still trying to find the logic in this hose set up from Joe, He was nice enough to put it all together for me "Ready to use out of the box". The hose does stay cool and the wrap does stay on, but it slides around like a sloppy soggy worn condom. The red shrink wrap I got rid of, really it fell off the first day. What I ended up doing was pushing the wrap thru the black bend restrictor cover using needle nose pliers and pushing in as I twisted it, It was a pain but I got it in there. Then I slid the bend restrictor cover over the spring and that end of the wrap is solid. Problem is the wrap is to short so the other end tends to slide up my hose. I have to pull it tight after jobs. I am happy with it cause it keeps the hose cool and from damaging anything. All n all good idea just a few kinks. Joe was very knowledgeable and had some of good ideas.

 

[Royal Man]

I have been talking to Joe and He was just fine, No screaming, foaming at the mouth, Or any of that stuff.

Just reasonable conversation.

Who Knew?

Give him a chance and make your own opinion.

 

[davegillfishing]

funny thing is i speak to him 3-4 times a year and he always remembers who i am and what i use..i.e. equipment..

that is what makes us so much better than most of the guys around us..we make them love us in the first

seconds of the call..michel somehow remembers everyone..she will give you the wrond addressee or phone

number on your paper work but she will not forget our customers..they love her..joe is great at his customer

service in my opinion..

sounds like your on an enemy's list. all the knockoff cuffs came about because of who joe pissed off. if he had handled things more like say lisa has with the glides there would be no knockoff cuffs. and if he had kept up making the same cuffs as the original ones with the narrow sharp ribes. no one would dream of using anything else.

I have the same problem as you do w/ them, I decided to just take the whole thing off as after each job I had to pull the lifejackets up or make them straighter as they would slide back and forth just like in your picture (I have the zip ties on there real tight too), that started to drive me nuts. It's not the lifejackets fault but it won't all fit in my solution reel, If I can figure out how to get it to fit on my reel, I will put them back on my lines.

That sounds so much like my Steffie its not even funny... " oh you remember mrs. Puff she had to put her dog down last year because of hip dysplasia,she had an emergency so I squeezed her in but its cool cause were gonna be right down the street"

"Well that's great honey but she lives 20 miles from there..."

 

[Chris A]

I ordered 2 as sprayers from Joe and one was missing the brass thing that the plunger fits in. I emailed him Thursday and the part arrived today. No negativity from Joe, he just took care of it.

So you ordered something off his website, payed with Pay Pal, he refused to send it to you and would not refund your money?

 

[sam miller]

I like what I got form Joe hell I probably wouldnt have bought from him if it wasnt for Mike on TMF saying buy from bristor and that cross american dude!

It took me awhile to figure out Mike was joking! still i like my lawn gaurds and and other nifty shiz. Joe's got stuff you dont see in Jondon.

I personally saw Gerson Devastator filter to me its to big for others maybe its great! I use a 2.5 cool cuff on a hydroforce for now. its fine.

 

[sam miller]

Personally I have 2 teenagers and a 22 year old I dont need drama from business!

yes

 

[Ross Buettner]

If it's Joe supposedly telling you to go fook yourself, Cobb's fooking up their batches, or Jon Don sending wrong fooking parts, ordering from any distributor is always a crap shoot.
There are risks dealing with every distributor. I see no GREATER risk in dealing with Joe, than with anyone else.
I understand that some guys have had issues with him, but everyone has different issues with different suppliers. To each their own.

I disagree.

These companies are used to dealing with asshats who are "nickle and diming" and constantly complaining with them. Karma will get you a reputation and kill you in the end.

I had one order with Larry. I even called him with a question. He updated me with a status of things. If I were to piss and moan and accuse, I can assure you the type of response and actions thereof would not be good.

Jondon has ALWAYS fixed things, next day. If I got something wrong from them, they would ship the correct item next day. In many cases the error was given to me at no charge because of their mess up.

Again, if I were to scream and bash them, they don't have to do anything but what seems "right" to fix it.

Like Mike said, a distributor will be there for you. Don't go getting their panties in a bunch, and they will stand tall for you.
