You can usually get a solution by just going through supervisors, but, once in a while, you'll run into a spot where you can't, or it's just taking too much time. I've only had to do it once for myself (I did it a lot when I was in sales). I had ordered a custom 2-iron from Titleist, and after 2 months and a dozen or so emails, still had nothing but a lack of an estimated ETA. One email to a certain exec and, within 48 hours, I had the club I ordered, along with their best bag, a dozen ProV1x balls, & a prototype putter that I still use today. :p
Obviously, you can't just go around trying to get free crap, but if you are actually at a dead end, it usually works out that way. |
Yeah that is the nice thing about emailing execs. They just get done. I never thought to do it till I started reading the consumerist a few years ago. They constantly advise people to do this, and it seems to work without fail for the most part. |

| They advocate taking advantage of everything (to the point of self-detriment) and unfairly criticize companies, due to what can only be assumed to be complete ignorance of the nature and operations of any sort of working environment involving sales or public interaction, in general. |

| Also, for a company that advocates such anti-consumerist practices, their name is preposterous. |
