Re: Buying Ubuntu Support from Canonical not as smooth as running the Operating System!



 > In reverse chronological order...

You won't be surprised to hear the number of British people 
complaining about US companies not putting staff on at 4am in the 
morning. 

> * Don't accept our corporate American Express (AMEX) 

Well that is to do with the way AMEX take the piss, I wouldn't mind 
but you try doing a switch/meastro or electron/visa transaction from 
the uk on US websites; i mean seriously banks screw us so badly and we 
don't even flinch. Then again no one in the UK accepts AMEX so you 
might as well throw the thing away if you go on holiday. 

> * After all this, we had to fill out the order by hand and fax the 
> paperwork back to a UK fax number (no US number available) 

What the hell is wrong with that? are Americans allergic to the 
international community or is it just something that you have managed 
to breed in over the 400 years you've existed. Get over yourself, a UK 
based company is damn well going to have a uk phone number, uk times 
and yes even uk banking and credit clearance. 

See this is why Europeans don't like doing business in the usa, 
customers in America whine about everything being foreign and 
different.
