I was "put on the list" on November 20 ... (I also ordered a drip tip then, which I did receive a few days later.)
on Dec. 12, he said if I paid then, my order would ship out the following Wednesday. I paid him.
I got one excuse after another... (when he communicated..)
Dec.30 I emailed and asked him for a realistic ship date..
he was apologetic and gave me a choice of either:
1) he would "start working on" something that might not be his best work and send it out "soon"..
2) I could wait a "few more days" for him to make something "better" on his new cnc machine..
OR
3) he could give me a refund.
I chose the refund
I got a notification within an hour or two of a refund for HALF of my money. (the money showed up in my account a few days later)
when I asked him why he only refunded half.. his reply was "I might get charged fees, and I have to see how much it costs to do a refund"
he told me that he would get in touch with his payment processors and find out how much the "fees" would be, and refund the rest of my money in a "few hours".
a couple days later, I asked what was up with the refund.. he started getting a rude 'tude with me and saying that he didn't have time to key in the refund right then.... but he would stop what he was doing and do the refund for a $100 charge - lol -
I told him I wasn't going to pay $100 just to get my money back, but I
would be contacting my bank after the weekend and doing a charge back. (that would give him several days to "find" time to key in a refund)
he flipped out... started cussing and whatnot... said that my order was canceled.
I still haven't gotten a notification of a refund for the money he still owes me, so I contacted my bank this morning about doing a charge back.
I kinda get the feeling he doesn't have my money. :big perm:
