I called Lava World today (9/11/08) and got a voicemail greeting from Paula and was transferred several times to Paula's voicemail before getting a hold of a live person (Heather.) She told me that the shipping person has quit again and they are training someone new. I asked how long it would take to ship my order and she at first said I could call back later to find out. She then said the new person was going through all the unshipped items. I finally got her to say that my order should ship…

I finally got her to say that my order should ship either today or tomorrow, depending on if they have to pull items from the warehouse or not. She finally agreed to call me when my order is ready to ship. We will see what happens.

I really didn't care for her but she was alright. Always got my globes out and they arrived fine. But I called and she did seem to have an attitude though. But she never went out of her way for the 'customer' Oh well have a nice life Paula...

I placed an order on the LW website on August 12, 2008. I have sent 3 emails and have not received an answer to any of them. I emailed on (8/21/08 - 8/27/08 - and 9/3/08) I have called twice. On 8/22/08 the man I spoke with said it would ship out Monday (8/25/08). I called again on Friday. (8/29/08) I spoke with a different man who said he was in charge of shipping and did not know who I talked to the first time. He said he was waiting on some globes from the warehouse and would ship them soon…

He said he was waiting on some globes from the warehouse and would ship them soon enough. As of today 9/8/08 I still have not received my order. Sorry to hear Paula has left.

Well we all can hope, I have a feeling I won't get a response to my e-mail. I also read somewhere that Tim Haggerty (god I hate that fuck) excuse my language... would still be with the company and we all know how he is so I really think them bringing production back to Chicago is out of the question.<br />
<br />
I would rather have NO LAVA BUSINESS then a crappy one. I hope by the next decade if they are not brought back here that they will make NONE whatsoever then.

That letter should get someone's attention.<br />
<br />
I hope they give you a good response and not the crap Tim Haggerty would say.<br />
<br />
I will be looking forward to a reply! I hope you get one soon.<br />
<br />
It would be so exciting to have the Lava Lite return here in the U.S. and made with the quality of its past once again.<br />

Great idea. Did you ever do this?<br />
Maybe you could set it up like a petition and get all 400 GooHeads to sign it....<br />

Basically it tells me what I already knew. Tim Haggerty isn't ashamed to ship American jobs to china, and he supported <b>Bush-Cheney</b> in 2004 (after four years of their questionable record.)<br />

Hi my name is Matt Bartolomei. I reside in Northwest, IN. I have been a fan of the Lava Lite Lamp for over a decade now. I just recently learned of your plans to take over Lava World. I don't know if you were aware but ever since the year 2003 they went downhill because they moved their production to China. When the lamp were manufactured in Chicago, IL they sold millions throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. There are hundreds of Lava Lamp collectors and we all want one thing. We want production resumed back in Chicago where it belongs. Your company has the power to do that now. We want lamps with quality and we want to pay $49.99 per lamp.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have refused to buy products from your current line because of the manufacturing in China. I have emailed Tim Haggerty numerous times but he feeds me the same garbage. They switched over to China for economic problems. Maybe your company will realize that if you bring back the Lamp to its rightful home your business will make so much money. People would rather pay a high price for something and have it last a lifetime instead of pay $20 for something and throw it away the next day. I know the American Formula used in the 1990s is still available. I'm not asking your company to return all the lamps they use to have out, but I am asking for them to at least consider resuming production back in Chicago.<br />
<br />
Please do not respond to me if you plan on telling me how well you think the company is doing selling in China and how great those lamps are and how the quality is there because I know its not and hundreds of other people no its not. But I gladly appreciate your time to read my concern. Thanks and may your company please return the true meaning to the words "Lava Lite."<br />
