Customer Service
« on: July 20, 2011, 08:58:34 PM »
A few weeks ago, I made a post on one of Lamar Williams' pot calls. I said I had a longbox from him that one side sounded like  *poo* (poor chose of words to begin with). Some how Lamar got wind that I had one of his boxes that I was dissatisfied with. He called me up and asked that I send the call back to him. I sent the call back after 9 years of ownership. Lamar called me after receiving the call because he noticed that I had broke the original screw off.  Lamar glues his in, so don't mess with it. I told him the box did not sound right to me, after a couple years of hunting with it; and, I was trying to adjust the screw, either up or down, to see which sounded best. He informed me that's when I should have sent it back to him. He is 100% right. I should have sent it back then. Even though I placed the screw right behind the other one, he said it would never sound right where it was. Any way, Lamar drilled the old screw out, plugged it and installed a new screw where it's suppose to be. Now I have a longbox good as new. Remember, before you get on a forum and run someone's call down, give the callmaker a chance to make it right.

I believe this has been a heated discussion and disagrement for several people.

I would always contact the callmaker first if there was a problem with their calls.  In fact, almost all the callmakers that I have personally dealt with ALWAYS told me that if I wasn't satisfied with their call, then send it back for a refund or they would make it right. I've been lucky.....never had to send a call back for any reason! ;D

Especially one from Lamar Williams. The box of his I have is one of the best sounding calls I've got.

I built a call for a guy late last winter...he was dead set on a certain call I had posted...well between the time it was finished and when I sent it, about 4 weeks, something happened to it with some early humidity we got and the sound faded/warped and I just couldn't get it back to how I wanted without risking damage to the rails.  He said to send it anyway so he could hunt it with his dad.  He said he loved it, it called in 2 toms but they hung up, not the calls fault.  Nonetheless, it has bugged me since then *aah* and while he doesn't know it I just finished a new call that I am sending to him simply because the 1st call took a turn on me and I keep thinking about it.  While this is not the same scenario, it is directly related to customer service and for me that ranks equal to the sound quality in my calls.
