Help! Anyone heard from or seen Technique? UPDATE: More help needed.

[Wildhawk66]

Well Wildhawk66 as everyday passes, I believe more and more that we are pretty much S.O.L. I haven't heard a peep since late last month. I started a thread in the handgun section to start getting replacement parts together. Honestly, I would have been better off not trying to protect my slide and other parts. At least I would still have it. What sucks as well is im also out the money I sent to have my stuff painted. Wildhawk66, thanks for the communications though. Its been helpful.

Don't give up yet. I talked to the USPS again yesterday and they are still investigating. As of yesterday they could not confirm that my package ever reached a post office so theres the chance this has been some form of fraud from the beginning. My package was insured, so you would think I could just cut my losses and purchase new gear.

Heres the kicker though, I found out that Technique only insured my two brand new Aimpoint Micros for $200! I was prepared to give him a break if he really did mail the boxes (which I still question) and the USPS lost them, but you can't tell me he didn't know that two brand new Aimpoint micros weren't worth a hell of a lot more than $200. For that reason alone I expect him to make this right financially and I'm going to take this to the next level if I need to. Your welcome to come along for the ride if you want.

If anybody at all has a phone number, e-mail address, last name (his first is Justin) for Technique I would much appreciate it if you would forward it. Also, if you are aware of other forums he frequents that would be appreciated too.

Technique has had the opportunity to be standup about this and he can't even be bothered to respond at this point. I know there are guys on here that know him and I would very much appreciate any help at all you can provide.

Wildhawk66....

I managed to get in touch with Technique thru FB. Your package is coming and he sent along a tracking number. He can't get to CG PMs right now from his iPhone, he is back east.

Check your PM here for a copy of his message I'm forwarding to you.

[Wildhawk66]

bweise,
Thank you very much for taking the time to help with this. I received the PM and will be keeping an eye on the new tracking number.

For those following this issue,
Technique has indicated he is reshipping via UPS. A shipping label was created on 3/11 but the UPS site indicates they haven't yet received the box. Technique also indicated he was including a refund (shipping costs or refinishing costs?) in the box and that he would reimburse me directly for my gear if I do not receive my package this time.

[Mr_Monkeywrench]

Yeah, i just looked him up Via facebook and I sent him a message. Hopefully he will respond to me.

Sounds like this guy is pretty unreliable. I'm surprised after reading about this situation, people still want to send him stuff to get coated. And, insuring two Aimpoints for $200 is ridiculous. Keep us posted Wildhawk66.

This is the first I have heard of Technique messing up something. While I did not send more than $300 worth of mags I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I am sorry to hear about this Wildhawk66. Let's give him some slack and let the issue get resolved before jumping on the band wagon and calling him a no good sob. While I cannot state what all transpired, I can say he has done work on a lot of peoples gear and there have not been any cases of people getting ripped off or mad at the work or service provided.

I have no problem getting, checking and sending PMs for an old iPhone. Hope thisworks out OK.

I agree. I got a raw deal on this one and I am really unhappy with Technique for the way my situation has been handled but it's true that he has been a standup Calgunner. This thread has always been about resolving a bad situation and not about bashing.

Me too! In typical calguns fashion, fellow members have been a great help in getting this resolved. UPS shows my package is currently out for delivery, so heres hoping this is the end of this for me.

Now if we could get Mr Monkeywrenchs order squared away we'd all be in good shape.

It was not aimed at you, it was aimed at Centurion. My bad for not quoting him or mentioning him in my reply.

Justin is a stand up guy and I do not want to see a good guy leave us CA guys high and dry because of a witch hunt. I agree with you and the way you are going about this situation. Just hang in there and hopefully everything will be taken care of sooner than later.

As a matter of fact I do know all the details. I know exactly what has transpired. I was not jumping on the "band wagon" when I wrote that comment, just making a statement about what I know to be true. I'm sure Technique is a good guy and does quality work, but he dropped the ball on this one and hasn't handled it well. And "no good sob" are your words not mine, don't put them in my mouth. I do hope this works out for Wildhawk66, I know what he's gone through.

[Wildhawk66]

Well great news, my gear is back! Everything was refinished as requested and looks great. Technique also refunded my money which is something I did not ask for, but is something that is appreciated and also appropriate given the circumstances. Regardless of the issues we've had, his work looks to be top notch. Heres a picture of the finished products.

[Wildhawk66]

My thanks again to all who helped to get this resolved and best of luck to Mr Monkeywrench with his gear and situation.

Awesome! I'm glad it all got worked out.
