Maybe AP tried to get in touch with him to pick up his desired AP but he took too long to reply ![]() |

Very well said! AP is a great brand, and the outgoing CEO did a heck of job in bringing to where the brand is today. Relationship building is a tricky thing and the answers are not always the ideal one especially with many moving components - high demand, new SAs/RMs, exclusivity strategy, new product launches going beyond what was initially expected, etc. But a new era is fast approaching, hopefully better times ahead.

Good luck. AP only deals with celebs and rich people from China or oil countries. I know someone who has a few QP's, Codes, you name it, and they won't get him his next requested piece.

There seem to be at least a few handful of counterexamples to your claim among the local TRF population (as well as your acquaintance).

Regardless - it seems like AP is hit or miss. Some have stellar experiences, like those who walk in for the first time and are offered ROO's, while others do not. YMMV but I think that is why many leave the brand (or any brand) for others. |

Closing my AP chapter
One thing for sure, AP is consistently inconsistent. That’s the exciting part…
what’s the fun in *knowing* you’ll get a hot piece? They are in this business for another 100 years. They can’t/won’t sell you every piece requested. You’ll be bored by year 4. Also, It’s way better when I get a hot piece and my boss doesn’t. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

First AP. First RO. I like the inconsistency.
