that's sad .i got ripped off here while back also and i know how it feels. there is a lot of that going on in this mail order buisness anymore. . lot of small buisness's starting up and have no ethics. i have been in this hobby and mail ordering since 1983 back when there were no arfs or rtf planes. you built kits if wanted a nice plane. but today in this era of instant gradifaction has caused dozens and dozens of these companys to spring up. most people(not all) on these forums have never probably even built a kit. they almost worship these company's.i made a negative post about one and i got all kinds tongue lashings replies."nobody talks about my company like that attitude". and that is probably why there was no replys to your post. .....they probably also build shrines to them also
