He was ripping people off before he even mentioned accepting money orders or atleast trying. I know he did refund 1 persons money. He wanted me to send him payment as a gift when I ordered, but comon sense told me not to send as a gift. Maybe he thought getting money orders would be an easier way to scam people. If I was you I would not want any association with him or that site at this point!
Hey all, not defending Dinosaur in any way. But I can say I was working on his new site for free. Dinosaur Vapor and I do know he wanted to receive credit cards but I was having problems. The store is setup for paypal or certain merchant services. He wanted me to get amazon to work which I have yet been able to accomplish. So that is the reasons for the money order. Not that he didn't WANT to take credit cards, just we haven't found a viable way for him to do so.

That I can say is reason for money orders versus credit cards. But as to the bad customer service and not receiving products unfortunately I cannot comment on this as I have not had any transactions with him other than designing his website. I can say I have been trying to get ahold of him for a couple days on Skype about his site with no replies. If he comes on, I will certainly inform him of everyones discontent. But maybe he has disappeared for good? I don't know. I'll try to get ahold of him for yal.

I had been PMing with this guy on here before he started this website since he lived in the same city as me. He was wanting to sell me some of his stuff. I held off not really knowing if I could trust him and that he didn't have a website at the time. Glad I did.

Moral of the story: Make sure the company has been around long enough to get customer comments before you order from them. Sorry that many of you guys got ripped off. Hope you guys get your money back.

Sides I am working on someone's site now that everyone on here knows and trusts, AND I think it's one of the best I've done yet lol. So I can replace a mediocre one with an awesome one right? lol. Anyways, sorry we're getting off topic. Mod - Sorry will stay on topic. I am sorry for all of you having issues with Brandon(Dino)

Hey Lintz....do you have a way to contact him to find out if he's still in business or what? You mentioned getting in touch with him....maybe you can see where he stands since you've dealt with him probably more personally than most. At least the members who've ordered from him will have that information, if you can get it.

As I said he's not responding to me. But given his name posted above yal can contact or try to on facebook and skype. Since I am designing his site, perhaps I could put a "testimonials" section on there. You can then leave feedback there to help others. But again he never used the site I created

Yeah I have not made a complete decision. I am taking the store part down. Disabling it but easy to re-enable if he contacts me.

Ok guys. Just made the changes. The store parts are all down so no one can order anything. I also have added testimonials. So everyone here who has had good/bad experiences please, goto Dinosaur Vapor and add your "comments"

After careful consideration, I have decided to leave it up. I worked hard on the site and would like to keep it there for my portfolio. But by disabling the store functions it is not harmful to anyone as they can't order anything. And by having testiomnials you guys can comment so other people may not find his other site and order given these testimonials. So EVERYONE go put testimonials. I'd like to see them hehe.

And on a personal note, he spoke to me often in the 1-2 weeks I worked with him on his site. He was kind of annoying honestly, but a promise is a promise. So I put up with it to do the design. I don't have to like a client in order to do a good job.

dunno if it has any bearing but theres a guy calling himself stompasaurus posting on another forum...could be purely coincidence but is kinda odd to have two guys with weird dinosaur vaping fetishes on both sites.

There's more than two...there's VaporsaurusRex too. Alotta people like dinosaurs.............
