Salutations, ladies and gentlemen,

My name is Radu Lupescu, patron de Push Industries (the CEO). It is my honor and pleasure to reintroduce you to the old brand you trust, directly as it is being refurbished, revitalized, and innovated into the logistics corporation you have always wanted it to be. In short, Push Industries is going premium.

As those of you that follow our brand regularly already know, Push has gone through a remarkable amount of changes and phases since 2011. Throughout all of these you, the customer, have increased your demands of service steadily over time and been steadfast in your encouragement of our brand’s growth. Suffice it to say our slew of internal changes, and your will, have coalesced into our finally deciding to become New Eden’s Premium Hauling Service.

This being the case, Push will have the largest price increase it has ever seen. Our High Security Space rates will increase roughly 19% on July 3rd of 2015. In time we will update our prices for the remaining security spaces as well but we thought it prudent to go with a more unhurried implementation. With this increase of our HS rates you will be able to benefit with following new changes that will, before long, become the norm:


  • Normal contract expirations set to 3 days


  • Rush contracts expirations set to 1 day


  • Limited to no expired contracts


  • Haulers with a bare minimum of Mastery IV for all hauling vessels


  • The most experienced and veteran haulers of New Eden, handling your freight


  • A more personal customer service


  • And above all… the best courier experience that money can buy


These are obviously bold changes and thus they will need a little bit of time to be applied to their fullest. But with every contract you place with us, in due time, you will notice this significant difference in service. Our weltanschauung is very customer satisfaction oriented and the only solution to our ability to offer you the best is the application of higher rates. These rates guarantee that our haulers will be the best paid of any courier service currently operating and as such will have the greatest standards of them. Thus your following us with this increase will enable our current hauling body to further develop their skills & training and we will also attract the finest haulers of New Eden within our courier service operation. As you can see this cycle is what will, as previously stated, give you “…the best courier experience that money can buy”.

We do realize, however, that this price change will mean that Push Industries will no longer fit into the economic models of some of our customers. For this we apologies in advance for not being able to offer those customers our services but we do have contact with other courier services and we highly recommend them. If this applies to you, please contact any of the following fine options, in game, with your courier needs (we are also happy to communicate with them on your behalf, if you so choose):

The Haulers Channel (HC)
New Evolution Express (NEE)

Push Industries thanks those that find us economically sustainable for their operations for taking advantage of our updated services and we are glad to rejoice in a new era of our corporation with you.

Cheers, and clear horizons to you all,

~ Radu Lupescu

Friendly bump from an ex-Push Director! ^_^

BUT! I do have some comments I want to bring up too.

First off, you have a director which doesn't haul. In your corp mail you admit this yourself, "It's true, I don't have time to haul in game, that's due to a topsy turvy RL hauling schedule." How can you be up-to-date and know about your corp while not around?


Premium? I can't help but notice people constantly complain about contracts expiring. Is that why prices are being raised? Raise prices > Less customers > More ability to complete contracts?

"The most experienced and veteran haulers of New Eden, handling your freight"
What about the RFF crew? Or the actual backbone of the old Push? Nasantha, Willry, Cara and plenty of others which have gone? (Again refer to contracts expiring) Where are your figures, and statistics to back up this statement? Also, I've seen plenty of Push pilots ganked recently...

"Personal customer service"
Have you BEEN in your public channel recently? It's only ever, "Is my contract going to be done in time?" Also... Nobody ever replies to customers in the GMT time-zone.

[17:56:39] [NAME REDACTED] > no view to be honest - i am looking for an explanation for a couple of Rush contracts that failed recently. no email, no nothing.
[17:59:57] [NAME REDACTED] > Isn't their service **** enough already?

You say you're raising prices to ensure better customer service, but is that true? Many people feel it's to allow you less work to manage without all the people you've recently lost. Ah, your own corp mail agrees:

"Those are the publically statesd goals of this price hike. But here's another reason, which I pointed to in the forum post too, because we're in very high demand. We're in such demand that we do all we can to keep up. Meanwhile you guys have been busting your asses to do the best that you can do. So as far as I'm concerned, you guys deserve it. "

It is good to see PushX finally shifting towards its rightful place in the hauling industry, a non-competitor.

As a customer of yours, I do have some questions as to how you can call this a "Premium" service. From what I am reading, you are increasing prices 20% in order to persuade enough of your customer base to use other services in hopes of being able to meet the industry minimum standards. 3 days expiration for normal contracts and 1 day expiration for rush is not a premium offering, neither is the goal of "limited expired contracts". These are the minimum requirements for any organized "professional" hauling service in New Eden. In fact, these standards aren't even new for PushX and have been in place for more than a year.

Do what you need to do and get delivery times back in order, but please have some respect for the hauling community and refrain from labeling 3 day expiration as a "Premium" benefit.

@Mizu (aka Lolita)

Even though I am sympathetic towards your condition, I'll ask you to please stop trolling Ugh . You know very well that our corporations stay in regular contact and there's no reason for you to spy to get troll-baiting material, I'll hand it out freely in conversation.

Thank you for pointing out issues that I'm already aware of though as it provides a small reminder regarding what I need to address. I'm glad to see you still care about Push enough to stay involved.

@ Mr. Alabel

We thank you for having been/being a customer of ours as we do value our customers and their having courier satisfaction.

If you recall, Push Industries established the 3 day normal, 1 day rush, upon its founding. This had not been in practice prior. We also maintained it for some time but in the past 2 years or so we had broken away from it. At the time of founding this delivery principle we were considered a Premium Courier Service. So to bring it round-robin, we are able to make the claim because once we reach our original state we will intrinsically be the definition that we authored.

In time we will be looking to redefine the Premium label... but one step at a time. The prices will also, naturally, attract haulers towards us. Of those we will be accepting the most seasoned candidates. Meanwhile our current hauler body is diligently working on increasing their abilities while also working towards our goals.

These changes are still fresh and so it is only logical to anticipate a period where service does not match the stated goal. But in due course all will be as it should and PushX will match said goals. In time we will also exceed them, but more on that during a pertinent hour.

---

Thank you gentlemen for your interests and concerns. Do know that Push looks forward to the here and now as well as the not so distant future. Every day our service is turning around from previously unsatisfactory patterns and headed towards our corporation’s better definition.

Fly safe,

~ Radu

"You know very well that our corporations stay in regular contact and there's no reason for you to spy to get troll-baiting material,"

I ain't no spy. I'm idling in multiple public channels and get provided what I link there nice and easily. Also, I've not spoken to you or any Push "manglement" since I left.

I'm offended that I'm being accused of being a troll either. Especially when the CEO of a hauling corp doesn't haul... Surely that's the troll?

I comment here because I actually care about the haulers in Push, and the ones in RFF and Public Haulers Channel. Haulers are who I love.

You say that raising prices will attract more haulers, but have you worked out how many customers you'll lose? Where's the cutting off point which will decide if you have too many haulers and not enough contracts? I think you just plucked a number out of the air.

Regardless of everything, best of luck trying to re-establish a "premium" service. Your long time customers which we worked hard to find and provide a service for are welcome to come to us, as are the haulers which feel this is a joke.

Love-ya,

Lolita.

Come now love, you know very well that I wouldn't say things to simply hurt your feelings. It was merely a comment in regard to a simple observation.

Caring about haulers and customers/customer service is where we have always been able to agree. One that ranges from strong, I dare admit even emotional, stances to general goodwill. And I sincerely believe this change, from PushX's part at least, furthers an expression of this (given the previously stated reasons). All in all there is a greater change in the courier service landscape and PushX is simply working on rebuilding its old place in it, the newer GHSOL is doing the same and the newest member setting its foundation, NEE, as well. You should note that it is out of respect for all parties that I even recommended places, that I feel are good services, for PushX customers that no longer find us affordable but still want a good service for their courier needs. So for that matter, I and all of PushX, wish everyone the best of luck as said landscape takes on its new form.

PushX will cater to a certain demographic in light of its changing and the other courier services will cater to their own as well.

And yes, I still love you too, Misu Blink

Kind regards,

~ Radu

Hello Mr. Kravshera,

I am sorry to hear that you have been banned from our customer service channel: PushX. Please know that customers, potential customers, and potential recruits, are more than welcomed to participate in the channel as they wish. The only exemption from this is if a customer is found to be behaving in an abusive manner or one that disrupts the tranquil atmosphere the channel is intended to provide for said parties and persons. Bans are generally temporary but permanent bans have taken place as well.

Please try again in the next day or so to see the nature of your ban.

Best regards

Awful Service, to many of my contracts have expired.
I was simply just told to reissue my contracts and nothing was done about them.

Salutations, once again, ladies and gentlemen,

Today I am glad to inform you that the recent noticeable lag in our services has been resolved.

This resolution itself is an increase in our High Security Space per-jump rates and has been implemented as of down time, today - July 26th. The reasons for going with this solution are a few. The lag in service was directly related to an increase in demand of our services. And this increase in demand was caused by several factors but one of the predominant ones, as we can trace, was an increase of rates brought about by our strongest competitor. As such the ratio of freight to hauler increased and the model that we aspire for became at risk of being effected in a prolonged manner. This neither helps our haulers do their job nor the customer have his or her expectations of us satisfied. Therefore the conclusion to bolster our service quality via price increase was the natural route.

After our first price increase, which took place on July 3rd, there was an immediate noticeable difference. Our customer base became less dependent on business margins, our haulers made more ISK-per-hour, an increase in interest from quality haulers was seen in our recruitment, the wait time for acceptance and delivery decreased substantially, expiration became moot, and overall customers started to once again be happy to have Push as their preferred courier (after a considerable amount of time where that wasn't the case). This newest price increase will restore the above stated and will naturally remove the lag in our services.

We are therefore happy to say that Push Industries will push onward with our Premium Hauling Service model (outlined in our original post on this thread).

We do apologies though for the short notice at which this price hike has come. The mitigating circumstances demanded immediate action and therefore the notice is reflective of this. We hope you understand and will be able to adjust, as we adjust, accordingly.

Once again, for those that do not find us sustainable for their economic model we still recommend the previously recommended:

Red Frog Freight (RFF)
New Evolution Express (NEE)
The Haulers Channel (HC)

For those of you that don't have an issue with this we thank you for your loyalty and belief in the Push brand and also look forward to furthering our relationship with you, our dear customer.

Thank you and safe travels,

~ Radu Lupescu

So at this point, after so many promises, and increases in your rates. Its only gettting worse.

At this point i count my blessings, if my contracts does not expire during the second 3 day period.
Thats right. The past couple of weeks you fail more contracts than you move for me, and even the second chance you get, with a note telling you that this is a relisted contract you already let expire once, you still take 2 days 23 hours to move it, if at all?

In your fancy queue system where i can track my stuff (which i admit is a nice feature) i can watch how my contracts sit there, sometimes for over a day without moving up at all.
If you, as a corp providing a service, truly have periods of over 24 hours with coverage so bad you cannot even keep up with the rush contracts, how should we expect you to actually perform the task we pay you an ever increasing amount of money for?

I was once a huge fan of your Service. Having used it to bounce corp and personal assets all over EVE as we transitioned to different parts of the galaxy and even alliances. My corp heavily favored PUSHing our items even tho we have our own Dedicated Haulers and Alt haulers to move stuff around. Your service was always Prompt and packages moved swiftly.

Today's PushX is an entire different animal. The only reason I am posting is because I am tired of my corp and I watching contracts get bounced, or even our friends contracts get bounced. We have even had Rush jobs missed. As of right now my Push Contract Expires in 3 hours.. another Rush job.. something any basic Indy could have moved by now. It has shifted from 9th to 5th in 20 hours. You currently for the last few hours have had a Queue of 92, 86 normal, 9 rush, I'm in 5th with a package less than 10k. You have no packages being moved per your website.

Outstanding: 92
In Progress: 0

If you're unable to keep product moving hire more haulers, or let your customers know you are unable to maintain Prompt service or the Standards of what used to be your Rush Service.

I move a tremendous amount of goods back and forth between 0.0 and the trade hubs and utilized Black Frog for some time before PushX came about and completely re-wrote what my expectations were in a hauling corp. I could get my stuff moved faster and cheaper than I ever could with the Frog. Moving my business from Frog to PushX was an easy decision and thats what I did, PushX made that decision easy because they showed me what I was missing in my then current provider.

Today I have begun to look elsewhere for a new provider that can stand in the shadow that the former PushX created, and PushX has again made this decision easy. The loss of faith in the reliability in the PushX system is complete as I have now had to re-issue multiple courier contracts over the last 2 weeks. The origination of the contracts, size or speed requested has not mattered in the slightest. My rush orders from Jita have expired, my slow loads from 0.0 have expired, multiple inquiries over multiple days in the PushX chat channel have gone ignored. In short from my (the customer) point of view PushX has ceased to exist as an ongoing entity and cannot be trusted with my hauling needs.

I do not know what is going on with PushX but they can no longer provide the services they promise. Even rush contracts just expire and no compensation is offered.

If I had to guess they are severly understaffed and are cherrypicking good contracts and letting the rest expire.

Used to recommend, not anymore though.

All 5 of my test contracts to push expired. Sorely disappointed.

There is no reason to use push over red frog, NEE, or even just making a public contract in the haulers channel.

As a long time PushX customer I am disappointed by the quality of service these days.

Their price is no longer the lowest among competitors, yet my contracts keep expiring, and even if they are completed it is generally at the last minute of the last hour of the contract expiration time. Meanwhile some competitors that I have tried are able to complete a 3 day contract even in the first day, usually for the less price.

Especially due to the contract expirations with no compensation I will no longer use PushX.
