Brand Loyalty: Might this now be our undoing in this "Modern World"?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

I once had a deep-seated feeling for brands of things like Hitachi, which I still love.

 

However, other brands, not so much.

 

Let me tell you, I think that Hitachi is wonderful. The service provided by this company is quite good….I think.

 

However, other brands, such as Versace handbags, not to mention those baggy women who lug them around the world, I have not much affinity for.

 

By the way, I have nothing against old bags like THIS one....for sure!:

 

 

So, anyway, I just want to tell you, for your own good:

 

Today, I was able to peel-off the brand-name sticker from my ACs.

And now that I have peeled off the STICKERS, then these machines are operating better….IMHO.

 

You see, anytime I buy an AC, these days, I always assume that most machines I purchase are about ….. Identical.

 

Of course, you gotta check the specs, such as efficiency.

 

But, really, here where we are, whatever you purchase is basically throw-away garbage. If you don’t believe me, then just BUY what you will, and then you will become enlightened.

 

I would say that the most important thing to consider when buying anything is AFTER=SALES service.  If the after-sales service is GARBAGE, then I would not buy it.

 

Sure, I have purchased some products from a brand which off-sources service to a lousy company.  But, this is why I am now off-loading my appliances from this company.

 

Garbage in….

Garbage out…..

 

And, the brand I was once loyal to is now…OUT….BIG TIME, IMHO.

 

I guess that I have been around here far longer than most of you, in more ways than one…..

I have been in Asia for a very long time.

 

And so, I would say that one should be very careful when purchasing anything, even …the unmentionable.

 

I will never again be taken in.

I will first do my research before buying.

 

Even though I stated, at the beginning, that I would not mention specific brands…..I can tell you….

 

I am thinking of Daikin.

Daikin is more expensive, I guess.

And, maybe for a reason.

 

Therefore, I hope I can get rid of the Name Brand, Versace, that I purchased….for many years…due to poor performance….

 

And now, I think I will just go with Daikin.

 

IF there is a better manufacturer that you might recommend, then please do so…because…I know a few other brands which are not typically sold in Thailand, but popular in Japan, which are very well-respected.

 

Any hints?

 

I guess you know….

I love it when all is very cold.

Except, I love a Spicy Hot Pot, as I know you do, as well.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

 

Important Note: Some AC brands, sometimes, seem to me like FREE-LANCERS.  You get what you pay for.  And, after you buy, not much service, the next day....What do YOU think...???

I thought your hiatus from AN might help fix your verbal diarrhea problem and reduce the high level of drivel you pump out. No such luck though.

No...I guess.

 

In fact, just before reading your comment on my phone, strangely enough, I was thinking about codpieces, and Shakespearean history.....

 

 

 

 

What a wonderful fashion statement...and I wonder....

 

When will the codpiece come back in style, in the USA.....???

 

Are you willing to hazard a guess?

 

Or, are you setting fashion with your codpiece, at this very moment....???

Is this one of those SWAMP coolers?

 

I am willing to try almost anything, after trying the brand that I once loved....

 

Thank you.
