Yeah, the "Mr Knuckles" at www.mrknuckles.com

I bought a set of custom knucks from him last year . . . took about 10 weeks to get them, but they were pretty good. Sent out another order . . . which was received by him in early March . . . and he decided to screw me by taking my money and not delivering my order.

Back in early June I finally got a reply to my 4th email in 4 months "apologizing" for the delay and saying it would ship "soon" . . . and now it is August 19th.

Based on another forumite's suggestion I emailed him a week ago saying that if I didn't get a refund I'd contact the postal inspectors . . . which I probably won't do . . . and he has not responded.

So . . . "Mr Knuckles" is a thieving scumbag who took my money. DO NOT ORDER FROM HIM.

Not for nothing, but if he reads this and sees you saying you wont' follow up with the postal inspector then he'll have that much less motivation for making good on the deal. I'd say that unless it's not possible to make the investment time-wise you really should follow up on that threat, for lack of a better word. Maybe something comes of it, maybe not. But if you don't try then you don't have any hope of improving your chances.
 
Why would you follow up with the postal inspector? If you paid by credit card, file a grievance with your CC company. If by paypal, through them. By check, through your bank. I'd think local law enforcement would be a better solution. The item was never shipped, so there is no PO involvement.
 
He doesn't accept PayPal or checks. Paid with a USPS Money Order. Shipped MO via USPS Priority Mail with tracking. MO was delivered to a PO Box.

I was advised to tell the Postal Inspectors about this because it is mail fraud.

But: my loss is under $100 and I don't feel right about filing a complaint with the Feds on anyone for any reason. Doesn't mean I won't. Still thinking about it.

The guy is a real prick, and I know some forumites have dealt with him in the past (over a year ago) and have recommended him. I don't know what happened in the meantime. Maybe he's discovered crack.

His site is still up and he is still accepting orders (I've contacted him from other email addresses and he writes back immediately) . . . he just isn't filling them.

Scumbag. Crackhead scumbag who smoked my knuckle money. :mad:
 
I bought 4 pairs of knuckles from this guy years ago and everything was on the up and up. You never know though people change. I would follow up with a postal inspector. I got ripped off by a guy who hacked an ebay account. they really do go after them. They couldn't do much for me because the hacker wasn't able to be traced but this guy has a site and contact info. Im sure they could find him no problem.
