I just got off the phone with Dakota Pastels. Wow, I've never spoken to someone with a "I could care less" attitude in my life. I called to see if they could match prices with ASW, which must be Jerry's in disguise.

First, it did'nt even sound like I reached their offices. I asked if they could match prices, and she answered "I could anything I want", but in a way that sounded like she was gonna follow it with a seductive "big boy." I heard a dog barking in the background which makes me think the call was fowarded to her home.

I told her the Polychromos were $129, $30 less than Dakota's. She was willing to go down to $140, which is ASW's regular price. Then I asked about the pencil set which is $49 in ASW, compare to $69 for Dakota. She went down to $58, again the regular price at ASW. With shipping, Dakota was $7 more, shipping is $8.95 at Dakota compared to $19.95 at ASW. Her attitude was terrible with a "well, what do you want to do" thing about it. The whole call was very unprofessional. I've never had this problem with Dakota before. Unless they have a HUGE sale, I would not order from them again.
