Checked in on 2/9/22, 2/11/22, 2/14/22. All those messages were ignored.

Good lord, at this point I think that everyone that has recently conducted business with him needs an explanation

Same thing here. “Will send it out tomorrow”, and it was the last thing I heard from him. I think I can say goodbye to my hard earned money now.

I dont think its out of line to post emails, home addresses, phone numbers???

Only two people have given a negative iTrader for this.

While the vendor may be having issues, the lack of communication and disclosure should be rewarded with a negative rating so others can be warned.

Sometimes the mods. will keep a seller active so that they can do the right thing eventually.

A few complaints to CG management might block the seller from the Marketplace until this s**tstorm is resolved.
Sometimes that accelerates the seller to finish his task so others will keep the cash coming in.

Good luck to all those waiting.

To the vendor:
Please provide a response to let us know what is going on and what you are doing to fix these issues.

eta 03/06: It seems this member was at one point a 'vendor' in good standing, so my accusation was wrong but the advice, in general still seems sound.

Protip: Commercial vendors who use Calguns to skirt the forum rules using the private marketplace to make a quick buck off of us without paying their dues...should be avoided, to say the least.

Instead, throw your support to people with a little character...or at least one of these who actually support the site: Commercial Sales

I hope all of you don't get burned, really, but also remind "don't play with fire."

Thanks, that's important, I'll edit my post to note. I think the general advice is sound, so I'll leave that part as is.

[Wlee]

Not a problem. He was pretty good about fulfilling orders until the past 4 months or so. Not sure what went wrong as he was also responsive to texts through January.

Perhaps the money got to his head or something just speculating at this point given that there's no further response from him.

hopefully that's true as he's got a whole list of people he owes product to

Texted him. The fact that I know his local sheriff personally probably helps.

[enorbit3]

I just texted him to see about my order from 1/31. Hopefully he responds and gets it shipped out.

I sell a lot of stuff and I had a hiccup once because of life but I refunded the money. I think this forum is 99% safe. The one place I have had issues is in the wtb section. Some shady new members there

This is why I don't even bother posting there anymore, I just browse the for sale sections and weed out the scammers using my better judgement.

[damian82]

Update,
He refunded my money. Shame, because I'd much rather have the mags and not have my money tied up for months...

Ordered 5/5/22 , now 6/1/22, still yet to receive.
Only ordered 2 as I won't place a large order until I can trust a seller.

After reading through these posts, I can't seem to figure out if I just haven't waited long enough or if all hope is lost.

Any updates?

He hasn't been online for a few months now. You sure you ordered from him?

[Mr.Wick]

Yes, I had contacted a ways back, around a year ago when there weren't any sig mags in stock anywhere. I was subscribed to his emails so when he came back into mind recently, I contacted him again through email and texts.

at least you didn’t buy from Optics Planet… shipping can be 10-400 days

Yup, and they find ways to fck you for shipping.

1. Orders $50.10 worth of stuff to get free shipping.

2. They send out $49 worth of items, and that last item becomes backorder or not ca-compliant.

3. They put that 1 item on hold and charges you $49 AND $25 for shipping.

Fck. Gotta waste time to call and fix **** for their screw-ups.

He has shown himself to be unreliable.

I suggest you try to get a refund.
Hopefully you paid using a refundable method.

As far as I know, the guy only accepts non-refundable method for payments.

Got a random text message from GSups contact phone number since no longer a vendor. Sketchy.

[Mr.Wick]

GROWACETT, what did he text you about?

Got the same text today;

"Hey ! Just wanted to see if you needed any more magazines."

From a 615 area code number.

The last time I purchased a bunch of mags; the packaging was ripped open and I was missing a 10/30 mag. He said he would ship a replacement out but months later, no contact. Luckily it was shipped USPS priority mail so I was able to file a claim and got reimbursed (I know; claiming a lost mag to a government agency sounds weird). Really tempted to text him back saying I'm still owed a mag...

Reply back:

Yes!

As soon as you fix all of your missing Calguns orders.

[qnzz]

I ordered 4 mags from him 1/24. I get a reply from him 3/23 saying he shipped all his orders when his store closed and that he lost all his records after Shopify closed his store. I show him my invoice and tell him I haven't received anything. I keep messaging him for a month and he says he will ship out my mags on 4/21 and shows me a tracking number. I get the package but its only 2 mags. I message him again and he says he'll ship the last 2 mags once he gets them. He has stopped responding since 4/29.
