I've emailed a couple of places about reservations, and tours in San Pedro and haven't heard back from any of these businesses. Do local businesses generally respond quickly to email? I'm just wondering why I haven't heard back or if it's just better to call? These places include Spindrift's, Ruby's, SEAduced, and a few others.

no, really it's been quite a few days. So then I should expect a response in a week or 2? or none at all?

You should have a response in a week unless there's a specific reason. We try to reply within a couple days, but sometimes things slip behind the ecabinet.

IMO there's no excuse for not replying to business related e-mails within 24 hours even if it's only to acknowledge that the e-mail was received. Anyone who isn't doing that is throwing away business.

Don't worry, I'm sure it's supposed to be funny but for the life of me I can't figure out how.
Posted By: Jackie22 Re: SP email responses - 06/14/06 08:23 PM
Simon- I didn't get it either, was I supposed to?

Pedro1- Thanks for the offer, but I need prices and confirmations from the businesses I've inquired with... I don't see how you can help with this.

TQ- Well I guess I can't do everything while we're there... maybe 1 or 2 trips. So are ya down for a few? cool

Some places reply fast, others don't reply fast or at all. Try emailing again. Calling may or may not work when email doesn't. Sometimes nothing works! Keep trying.

Jackie: Take Peter up on his offer(the contact one). Despite some occasional mood swings, he'll do right by you.

Jackie: I remember my first trip - how I did all this extensive research and tried to do all this advance scheduling and planning. Once I got to SP, I soon understood why this philosphy didn't work very well. And I think you'll get what I mean after your first visit. Now, when I dream of my return trips, I just make a list of what might interest me and schedule as much as I can once I get there. There's been more than one restaurant that that I wanted to try, only to find it gone when I got there. And while this is my only international internet experience, my cousins who live there and not received many of my emails tell me the technology isn't quite like in the US. If it were me, I'd follow Barbara K's advise and email again...if still no response then move on to someone else...I've yet not to find something just as good or, often, even better!
