newb, if he rips you off, would you post it here that he got you too? and how do we know you're not andrew?
Actually, I had just posted a scathing damnation of him on Saturday, then my wife walked in with a package from Andrew. I quickly edited my post. I also e-mailed Andrew that the knife had arrived, and that I'd post here, since I see he posted here. I told him I wouldn't sugar-coat it, and I haven't. I do believe in spreading the word about a crook, but I wouldn't stop at posting it here if I really felt I was ripped off. I think I recieved slow service, any other assumptions about him would be based on an accumulation of experiences with him, and that's why I posted here. I won't be accumulating any more experiences with him, I'll leave that to you guys.
If you guys have been ripped off, why aren't we reading about your stopping payments and notifying the various organizations that would have some effect on him? Maybe you trusted him and have no paperwork to prove your case, and you're embarrassed, or maybe you're doing deals and not paying taxes, I dunno. Seems odd anyway. I think a lot of people feel embarrassed when they get ripped off on the 'net, and don't take action, and a lot of scammers make money that way. Is that what Andrew is doing, or is he just haphazard? I can't really make a judgement on my one experience, but your experiences tell me I shouldn't order anything else from him.
As far as being Andrew or someone he put up to this, I don't think my posts have been good for him. I have my knife, I won't be dealing with him again, I can speak my mind (unless that offends you guys and you ban me). I imagine he's not happy with my posts, and he has my credit card info, but I think it's clear I'll do more than whine about it if he screws with me.
No, Cougar, I haven't been ripped off a lot online. I'm pretty selective, and this is the closest I've come. I don't google every sprinkler valve and auto parts and knife vendor I do business with. Perhaps this was a wake-up call to me to be a little more cautious.
