And how does niemeyer’s react if they think an item may finally not come up to the customer’s expectation ?
“ I would consider it being wiser to drop the matter at this point, however, as in the end you might not be truly satisfied. Then it is always better to wait until we can become friends on an item that stirs up less discussion. Best regards … ”
