An "email exchange" sounds more time-consuming; was the seller likely to feel he had a high probability of getting a worthwhile order out of it ultimately?
I asked a question about a product and they came back with a very comprehensive answer, including a sketch showing dimensions. There was one dimension missing, which I needed to make sure my intended purchase was compatible with the rest of my equipment. At first I thought that my email might have been spam-trapped, as it contained an attachment. I contacted them again through the web-page to ask if they'd received it, but I received no reply.
I'm not impressed, and unlikely to buy from them again – so they'll be getting no 'worthwhile orders' from me if I need anything really expensive in the future.
