Of course (of zip-n-squeeze) wants new customers. And I felt like you when I first read that I had to call to get my zipppies. What? talk on the phone? I was like...no way. So while I cannot argue that you may be hesitant to talk on the phone, I gotta say, that talking to when I ordered my zippies was one of the best things that happened to me during my recovery. I originally had one of my kids phone in the order, because I was only a week post-op and had not yet braved the phone. After she took the order, asked to talk with me--no matter how I sounded--just to find out how I was doing. She offered me tips, including straightening out my liquid diet big time, as I was losing weight faster than I could put on a slimmer pair of jeans every day. She also gave me about half a dozen recipe ideas to try in about two minutes,and inspired me to get back to that blender and invent some of my own. She's one heck of a nurse who truly cares about her customers, is busy coming out with a new and improved zippie, as well as a cook book, and feeding devices for cleft palate kids. If she doesn't have the time or inclination to put a secure line on her site, I can easily overlook that for what I've gotten from her.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 I know what you mean. I cannot stand calling/faxing away to order products. I'm not into shopping online either, but that is just for personal discretion. It would be wise for then to set up an online ordering process, as so many people are into it. If you are haveing your surgery soon, I do feel for you as obtaining one of those devices is a good recovery plan. If you are not having your surgery soon, not too worry...as zip-n-squeeze sales increase, word will get out & before you know it, little zip-n- squeeze~like devices will be on the shelves in department stores (grocery, walmart, target, pharmacy) all over. > is there any other way to order the product than calling or faxing? > sheesh, you'd think they'd have an online ordering process.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 Maybe I can clear things up for you... I am a nurse and a member of this group who developed this product to help people, like yourself who are undergoing major reconstructive surgery and would otherwise have to eat with a syringe. This is a patented product and yes, will eventually be in retail stores where people can purchase them more easily. However, in the mean time I am doing the best I can with what I am doing. It puzzles me a bit why calling, faxing or e-maling is such a strain when this is something that is available to HELP you in recovery. Not everything is perfect in life and comes delivered on a platter. As it happens, I am currently working on a online order form to make things easier, especially now that the products are international...where time differences really are a strain for ordering. All I can do is take things one step at a time. I really try hard to help people out on this site. Sorry this is such a inconvienence for you.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 , I haven't even had my surgery yet and I'm glad that you have these! I'll get them any way I can (will be ordering later). Thanks for coming up with some products that so many people appreciate. Folks can wait for the online order form. Irish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 --- Thanks for the tip... I didn't realize the importance of online ordering for some people. I will work to get the order form up and running as soon as possible. Beaudette Zip-N-Squeeze In orthognathicsurgerysupport@y..., quietcharms_79ca <no_reply@y...> wrote: > I know what you mean.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 I had no idea you were a member of this group. I wasn't attacking you personally, lol. I just assumed there would be an online ordering form. I also had no idea that the inventor of the product also happened to be running the website herself. Hey people, stop making me the bad guy :/. It was just an innocuous comment on my part. > > is there any other way to order the product than calling or > faxing? > > sheesh, you'd think they'd have an online ordering process.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hey! About ordering the zippies: I've always found very responsive to e-mails. (Of course, I wasn't trying to reach her when she was off at that convention.) But I'm sure she's prompt and concerned, and will take good care of you if you e-mail her and tell her what you need!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 You're not a bad guy. You just pointed out a need. No harm. Now, sit down and send a nice e-mail, and she'll send your zippies flying to you! Cammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
