I see several posts on here that someone is "done with XXXX"... we fault companies for not doing what WE want, when they're actually doing just what we are... that which is best for them and their business plan.
My opinion and you may blast me for it if you want, but never burn a bridge... you may have to re-cross it someday.
I've gotten irritated with companies and stayed away, but found that eventually I have to do business with them again... example, in my former career I did international shipments. I used a particular carrier to one destination, but one day they screwed up a shipment and I didn't get them to make it right, so I stopped using them, used alternate carriers and routings... came a day when I had a piece of freight that wouldn't fit any other carrier except them... was forced for the sake of my customer to go back to them and make a booking. Now I'm glad I did, I met my wife through the carrier... she was a new agent with them when I called them again... 23 years later, I'm still fond of that carrier.
