I feel exactly how Marbel felt, lol. This is a good page to enter what will be my last post on this thread. It feels like a cult up in here, lol. Anyway, one of the reasons this deal did not work out for me is because I didn’t receive any confirmation email. We were told that we would receive confirmations. I was expecting an email confirmations and never got any. It led to the panic attack when I finally asked for my money back. Again, no confirmations reflect that Imperial Sales lacks good customer service. It doesn’t matter. When a company receives an order, each and every order should be acknowledged by the company regardless of a discount offered.
I honestly feel that I haven’t missed anything regarding this deal because I don’t do business with arrogant merchants. My experience with Tony is that he is very arrogant, that he doesn’t follow up with customers, and that he doesn’t want to speak to customers when they call to ask questions about an order. If your dryer happens to go bust after a few months, you can bet that you will hear Tony “is not in the office.” Bottom line: I had a bad experience with Imperial Sales, I did want my money back, I sought an even better deal, and I am free to voice my opinions about how this deal worked out for me.
I regret most about this deal that Tenjoy called asking posters who reserved 514s to send in their money when she didn’t make sure that Tony had all of the equipment to deliver. I realize mistakes happen, but if the mistake adversely affected only me, then I am entitled to express my feelings about a bad experience. There would have been no problem if Tony had not given out my personal information. I did not authorize anyone to give my personal information to a third party. Bottom line: Tenjoy should not have made phone calls to reservists until she had confirmed Tony had the complete goods to deliver. I did not receive my dryer within a reasonable time after paying for it. The deal went bad for me at that point. I could kick myself because I was so excited about receiving a Pibbs, that I didn’t follow my better judgment to check on things for myself. I tend to be leader, not a follower. I’m new to this website. I don’t follow what people are saying, but I did with regard to this deal, for some reason. So if I’m the only one who this deal didn’t work out for, it may very well affect future business with Tony, and that’s not my fault -- if I had a bad experience personally with Tony. But if he is a hungry business man, one dissatisfied customer won’t spoil it for the whole bunch.
Another fact is that we were told not to send email to Tony and not to call him. I was very leary of that. But I respected Tenjoy’s wishes and didn’t call or email Tony until I paid and didn’t get my dryer within a reasonable amount of time. Well, Tony had sent an email to me stating that I should have called or emailed him first -- before I sent my money order. Bottom line: That rattled my cage. It was a direct conflict of what Tenjoy had said and what Tony said.
So this deal didn’t work out for me. And it appears that I am the only one who this deal did not work out for. Funny how everywhere we go in life, there is always THAT ONE PERSON. At school, there’s always “that one.” At work, there’s “that one.” At the club, there’s always “that one,” lol. So I am that one who this deal did not work out for.
Nonetheless, blessings come in many disguises because I didn’t deserve how this deal worked out for me. And legally, Tony had no business giving my personal information to Tenjoy because if he had not done so, she would not have been able to make that phone call to me and my money would still be in my bank account. I still haven’t gotten my money order from Tony. He has until Monday’s mail delivery before I panic again.
THE BLESSING. The blessing for me and others who may want a Pibbs but missed out on this deal or just can’t afford one, may be an even better deal on a Pibbs than what was offered by Imperial Sales. I have done serious research on deals for 514s in the last 48 hours. The best deal that I was able to receive for myself was $265, not including shipping. I saw recent posts where some ladies could only get $289 or something, not including shipping. I don’t know who they spoke to, but I spoke to distributor who quoted me $265. (I mentioned to Tenjoy that I am blessed with the gift of gab and the power of persuasion, which I definitely used as the result of this deal going bad for me.
I have spoken to a member of the Petrucelli family. They make the wonderful line of Pibbs salon equipment. I told the family member what happened to me here, and what I thought about Imperial Sales. He gave me the phone number of another distributor to call. I called that distributor. That distributor said that he could get me a really good deal especially if I could place a large quantity order of 50 or more dryers. I already have 26 orders among family, friends and co-workers. The distributor is expecting my call on Monday morning. He will quote the price including shipping for 50 or more 514s. I can’t wait to hear what he says. And believe me, because I spoke to a member of the Petrucelli family, he gave me a number to a distributor that sells only authentic Pibbs salone equipment, the real thing.
If I am successful to get an even better deal with this distributor, folks on this board will have to communicate directly to the company. I want nothing to do with controlling how you buy anything. Call the distributor directly, ask questions and request whatever you would like from the distributor (confirmation emails or letters, whatever). Good companies don’t mind receiving phone calls or email from customers who are spending their money on a product. Buying anything over $200 ain’t exactly cheap.
I think this is a great web site. Tenjoy sicked a moderator on me after I had words with her through PM, lol. The moderator put me in check. This web site has got some serious cyber patrol going on, which I can appreciate the control. There is no need to get too feisty around here. My purpose for being here is to share helpful information on achieving long black hair growth. If I can’t say anything nice and useful to achieve long hair growth for others, I won’t say anything at all. I also must say VSlady is one class act. I never saw anything negative written by her regarding this deal gone bad for me.
You must send a PM to get details about possibly getting a 514 for about $205 (including shipping). The price could be a little higher or even a little lower, but definitely under $235. Each buyer will be provided with a unique discount code. Orders will be shipped within 24 hours. Direct contact with distributor required.
I didn't get mine yet,either.I included my email address in my reserve note but not with my money order.Maybe thats why?Im a reservee, still awaiting my tracking info....

Spill the beans we don't like secrecy around these parts about Pibbs 514 deals. My sister would like dryer. If you can beat previous Pibbs deal do tell lurkers can not pm you.
*drumming fingers on desk*Most folks that did the mail in did not get a tracking number. But I am sure it was sent out with all of the others that just went out. Let's have a new baby pibbs party this weekend!Hmm pay online... shipping info and delivery in a week... Pay a month prior by mail... no shipping info... Come on Tony...
Hmm pay online... shipping info and delivery in a week... Pay a month prior by mail... no shipping info... Come on Tony...
, I'm glad I stayed patient and professional. My Pibby will be here tomorrow as well. I knew that if Tony kept his word with the original ladies who ordered, he would come through again. I guess being a business owner I understand that things happen beyond control...like the vendor not getting in the bases on time...
I know it will be here by Friday, but I just wanted the confirmation so I could go online and keep hitting 'refresh' to see if the shipping information updated
I sent my email address on my letter to reserve the Pibbs...guess it got misplaced from my certified check?
Oh, well...I know it will be here just wanted to follow it's shipping progress.
I do that even if I have a comb shipped
I am patient though I can wait...I think.
Just got notice that My Baby is HOME!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!:trampolin
Thanks Again Tenjoy and VSLady!
