well still, you shouldn't have to email them three times and basically scold them before they answer! Sheesh. That is a shame to hear about IT- they responded to me fairly quickly but took 3 months to actually answer my question (I actually think they were stalling and hoping I'd forget it- it had to do with the source-animal or other-of their collagen).
You are right though, customer service is everything to me as well and no company is so special to me that they can't be replaced by another company with equally as good products AND great customer service. And those that never answer tend to get scratched off my list of companies I buy from. LG is about to be scratched off.
