I've seen this discussion before. Always seems to have an e-mail reference.
Like said above, it's a sellers market. Sales personnel, even though it does not appear so, are swamped, not only now but for a long time. E-mail is a distraction that just eats their time. Remember, you are not the only customer e-mailing them.
I worked at a large power plant. There were 600 employees. The plant manager always said he had an open door policy. Just stop by anytime you had a need. But, he also said he only checked e-mail on Thursday mornings where he had 2 hours carved out in his schedule to look at e-mail.
I can tell you from personal experience that e-mail was a huge, non productive time sucker for me as well. I hated it when policy decisions were communicated by e-mail since it always seemed the e-mail was sent while I was out of the office and buried in over 200 or more e-mails when I returned. The upon return the boss was mad I was not following policy.
Keep stopping by or calling. That will tell them your are interested more than an e-mail where you are asking a bunch of questions.
