Some Complaints

I was on the Estes Facebook page and saw these reviews. I did have to laugh. It seems some people complain just to complain or try to get something for free.
Most posts were positive, these gripes were of the minority - 

"My kit had the worst instructions for anything I have ever seen in my life. The kit had multiple items I had to go to the hobby store to buy. I have never been so disappointed in a product in my life."
The instructions are not what they once were, but it's not a deal breaker.

"Drove past the plant in Penrose, CO yesterday, looks like it's closed. Was just wondering where it is now?" 
Estes hasn't given plant tours for years.

"Why your company won't own up for your costly mistakes? I flighted major companies before and they owned up their mistakes. Other words you digging very deep hole for youself with major problem by doing sweaping this under a rug and forgoting about it. At least city of pueblo, county of pueblo, and state of colorado is behind me 100 percent. You need owned up with your mistake by giving the perks and that extra two week after my 90th day. I not will stop flighting over this costy and cruel mistakes."
Where is this guy coming from?

"I have a hard time of 90% failure. Enough said"
This guy needs to change hobbies - model trains maybe?

"Great little project to do with the kids but this would be a much better experience if the plastic cement was in the package. Having to make another trip to get what you need to put it together sucks."
Rocketry sucks sometimes, then again so does bowling.
