G.Loomis Extends Customer Service Hours

While other companies moan over the lack of product orders occasioned by the slow economy, G.Loomis seems to be refocusing on what really matters: customer service. As a U.S. west-coast company, Loomis found that they weren’t able to provide the same level of service to all time zones by keeping normal hours. So beginning November 3, they extended their hours to 6 AM to 4:30 PM (9-7:30 EST) to accomodate service requests from the east coast. Hmm, wonder if the mega-banks and phone companies might learn something from this.
