It's easy for a company to ship out products speedily, but it's how a company handles a problem that's hopefully more indicative of customer service.
The biggest problem is from 3rd-party errors, i.e. the courier. If it's the fault of the company itself, that's no problem - never buy from them - but handling UPS or Fedex's problem can be sticky. I had ordered an iGO Juice universal AC adapter from Yesmicro, and everything was going fine... but it was taking too long for Fedex to deliver. I checked the tracking - no problem, it was at the local center, so I figured they were going to deliver soon; I got busy with school, but they still hadn't delivered. The problem was that Fedex never left the notices (I'm in an apt building) - or someone took them, who knows. After I tried to find Fedex's local number and tracked again, they shipped it back to Yesmicro... oops.
So I emailed Yesmicro explaining this, and asked for them to reship it (with the implied assumption I would have to pay for Fedex's issue - some things can't be helped) - which they did, and with UPS, and didn't charge extra shipping! Not bad. The email responses were within a day. I will probably purchase from them again.
