lee.....if you're having issues, and ,for what ever reason, can't get these things out, I'd rather you just say so, instead of stringing things along with false promises. I think you need to put yourself in our shoes, and think about how you'd feel. I'm not an uncompassionate man, nor do I lack patience, but I also think that it's not right to take that for granted and leave me,and others, twisting in the wind ,WAITING ON THE STRAIT SCOOP. Lets review a quick timeline, and I'll be going with copy/paste jobs, directly from my e-mails to you, as well as from this thread. DATE:Friday, January 19, 2007 10:22 AM YOU SAID: Hi Don. Thanks for the update. YOU'RE IN!! I'm taking a bunch to the PO today, but I have about 10 more, including yours, that I will start assembling next week. So in about 2 weeks, yours should be on the way, if not there. I'd like to especially point out that you weren't waiting on anything, you just needed to do some assembly. the very next day, in the thread, you posted: "Hiall. First batch has gone out, with more next week, and should have entire backlog out within a couple of weeks. " based on our e-mails, I went and sent the money order to you. on the 22nd of january you acknowledged receiving it, so you now have my money, and just need to assemble something that you said was in your posession. "Monday, January 22, 2007 7:27 PM BOY!! The post office really screwed up!! Instead of arriving Tues. or Wed,. as I expected, it arrived TODAY!! Thanks, Don" so far, everything is pointing to getting these 2 months ago. this was our last e-mail. I e-mailed once more, a couple of weeks ago, asking for an update, but you never replied. I asked in the thread, and, boom! a reply came in short order, refering me back to a thread posted a full week earlier. Although I try to be understanding of your personal problems, re: your wife, in the thread dated 16 march, you put in a line that said: "Well, Kay says "lunch", a siren call to me! Will get back to you all again later in the week. Lee " I have to tell you, if the wife is making lunch, it doesn't sound like things are sooooo bad that you couldn't pry yourself away from her side long enough to assemble a set or two......and how long,exactly, does it take to assemble a set of gear? seems like a lot of time has gone by to not have these done. you were talking relatively small numbers, not dozens. BTW, you never got back to anyone like you said, it took another poster,11 days later, before you replied. I'm typing this on wed ,11 april, and you missed the update you spoke of: "I will do a final update on the gear, either this weekend, or possibly Tuesday. Lee " looking back on the threads, this seems to be a chronic thing......not good. I'll save this till after the following weekend, and when nothing is said to update your waiting customers, I'll post it, and again,it will be a custmer chasing down information that should be forthcoming to us. as far as I'm concerned, you set the timeframe, and when you couldn't make it, you should get in touch and say "hey, I can't make it. this is the deal, and I'll work on it". but instead, you go into silent mode. so, what is it? you said you had the product, you acknowledge getting paid, you said it was just a matter of assembly....what's the deal? I find it hard to believe that it would take as long as even an hour to whip together a set of gear, but lets say it does....if you had spent just 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and rested on the 7th day, you'd have these things done by now. I personally think something unforseen happened, you're in over your head, can't deliver product, and you're stalling for time. oh, and one last thing. i have shipped enough stuff through usps,to know that it's short money,above regular shipping, to get priority mail. priority mail will at least give people tracking ability. insurance isn't totally needed, but tracking is everything these days.
