As I wrote yesterday, I seem to have lost my 2010-11 Day-Timer refill set. This afternoon, I got a call from Jo Hamoui of Day-Timers, who had seen my grump, looked up my customer record, and offered to replace my set at a discount and waive the shipping charges. I was gobsmacked. "That's great!" I said, accepting the offer gratefully. The new set should be here next week sometime, so I should have it when I get back from Westercon, missing only a few days of July from my records. I can improvise with some blank sheets inserted into June if necessary.

It's easy to complain about poor customer service. I wasn't actually unhappy with Day-Timers in the first place — losing the refill set was my own silly fault — but this was fantastic proactive responsiveness on DT's part. I think it's important to praise good customer service as well, and this was something that I'll not soon forget.

My records showed that I bought a Day-Timer refill set last April (starting July 2010). Today I went to install the July 2010 book and discovered that I seem to have lost the entire refill set. That's annoying. It's not where I thought it should be, and it will cost me about $30 to buy another set; besides, I'll be without my Day-Timer for the first week of July while I wait for it, because it's not sufficiently urgent to spend more than the cost of the product on express shipping.

Yes, I'm old-fashioned and still use a paper Day-Timer, not an electronic equivalent. I do hope that I didn't put it into storage, thinking it was an older year rather than the new one. I hate wasting resources like that.

Update, Friday 14:00: See this post for a story of astonishingly good proactive customer service from Day-Timer to help me make good my mistake.
