I have experience on the reseller side of the electronics business. I will tell you that most big resellers (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc) will do more in situations like this than the actual companies themselves. I’ve seen it a lot.

These first party manufacturers are manufacturers first and retail shops second (or third) so they put less effort on that side.

Would like to know more about what’s going on with the development of this app? Any plans? How are things going? What sort of things will be the primary focus in the near future?
I’ve learned to reply like that every time and it works. It convinces them to text me and if I see it’s important, I say something like “give me a few minutes and I’ll call”.
