Small Dog Mention on Consumerist

One of the neat things about running an online store is stumbling across feedback about your operation on the web. We work hard at keeping our customers happy, and the vast majority of our online reviews and feedback show this. Every now and then we make a mistake, though, and get a negative review. Also, sometimes we get flamed for no discernible reason. That’s simply part of being online.

Today someone sent in a link to an article on the Consumerist website. Apparently, someone ordered an iPod from us, and received a shrink-wrapped box with soap in it. It’s definitely worth a read:

Of note, people seem much more comfortable ordering over the web than they did three years ago when I started here. Also, after eleven years in business, people now seem to know that we are a real, established company, not a sleazy web-based rip-off joint.

  • VT Tax Holiday Is This Saturday, March 6!

    Vermont is having a sales tax holiday this Saturday, March 6! There will be no sales tax on items that cost $2,000 or less. This could save you some serious dough if you’re upgrading your own computer, your family’s Macs, or just want to grab some fun gadgets. The savings can add up, as sales tax in Vermont is 6%, and even 7% in a couple of towns (South Burlington, Williston).

    We’re celebrating with a 24-hour sales event at our South Burlington retail store. The store will open at 12:01 AM and close at 11:59 PM. Our Waitsfield store will be open with regular business hours on Saturday, we’ll have additional telephone coverage, and our warehouse will be busy packing orders all day.

    We’ll be posting semi-delirious midnight tweets and Facebook updates from our Burlington store all night long. Follow us on Twitter as hellosmalldog or friend us on Facebook

    Note that everyone who lives outside of Vermont gets to order tax-free from Smalldog.com every day (we don’t charge sales tax on orders that ship out of Vermont).
