    The Big Compensation Thread

    Hey everyone,

    I haven't been around much due to the extreme amount of hours we've had to put in during these past two months and to be honest, there was no point in my replying with "we're sorry, we're working on it" again and again.

    We've had massive issues, you all know that, and the newsletter sent out last week will give you some more details on that if you are curious. I won't go further into that in this thread.

    My reason for posting this is simple, we recognize that a lot has gone wrong these past few months, and now that we finally feel everything is working well again we want to compensate all those that feel they have had a bad experience with us these past two months (yeah, I know there are many of you).

    So, my plan is this. I've set aside a few days where I will do nothing but attend to your requests. Send me an email at fsoder (at) northerner.com shortly describing your issues (I won't have time to read any novels, so keep it short and to the point, I will take your word for it for most part. I'm gonna prioritize short and factual emails).

    Also append what you feel is a good compensation or solution to your issue. Obvisouly I'm not gonna refund 500 USD because someone had to wait 3 or 4 days for a customer support response, so try to keep it as realistic as possible.

    Most of you know the legal aspects as well, so please don't ask me to send out tshirts or other similar merchandise as I simple can't do that. And the stock situation I can't do much about either. If V2 can't provide Thunder Frosted Long+ for example, then they can't, simple as that. Ask for something I can provide, and I will do it (within reason of course, again, if you ask for something totally unrealistic, I will only reply to you after I finish with everything else).

    I won't have time to reply to anything in this thread nor will I reply to PMs as I will focus on getting things sorted out via email.

    So, go ahead, rip me a new one.

    Thanks!

        Yes, Fredrik deserves employee of the year award. An all expense paid trip for two to the Ice Hotel is in order.

              Fredrik and Frank,

              I think despite the various frustrations.................... everyone knows that PACT has made this a rough time for all involved.

              Thank you for trying to make it right.

              If you are ever in the states.................. and can ditch that old dude rick........................I'll take you to some of the most beautiful mountain country on the planet.

              And despite what my wife may say.............most people do make it back alive!!!

              Anyway thanks again and I hope we have seen the end of the fog.

                I think Northerner has always made good on their botches. At least for me they did, and then some.

                I'll take three Swedish hookers please...and ones with portions in the vages...even if it's wine & dine.

                  Hmmm Swedish hooker snus dispensers, nice. Also you wouldn't have to worry about the portions drying out (well depends on how old they are (the hookers, not the portions))

                      quickly glances at the calender. nope its not april 1st.




                      good show mate
                      Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                      I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                          You Rock and how about extending that free shipping offer for a bit longer or at least putting an expiration date in your emails? Anyways, glad to see you back and I hope you change your icon soon!

                          PS - is Gellivare going to be in soon?

                            This is definitely the most I have ever seen a company reach out to its customers. Good for you Northerner!

                              Northerner is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Even last year on a couple orders when something was backordered I was told in my shipment it was backordered, and then when I got the item there was a gift for the trouble. Fredrick you guys are a class act. Thank you!
