I missed the original post- but I too have an NCA horror story.
I sent a client there to order a machine. Specifications in hand- was
told it would be ready in three days. Great! She called to make
sure it was ready, it wasn't. When she finally was able to pick it up
(another day later), we found that the machine didn't work and there
was no documentation on any of the cards in the machine.. Pieces were
put together, but there was no testing & setup wasn't done, switches
weren't set properly. It was an incredible mess. She couldn't be
without it because of her business. We spent a lot of time getting
all of the incompatibilities taken care of. I will NEVER send
client there again to purchase a whole machine. I'd rather put it
together myself. AT least I know that it's been tested.
Sorry this is long- but I lost a lot of time on that deal- And time is
money.....
