Hi guys, I'm rather new to the forum, but I thought I would chime in on this one just to let everyone know that Eric is still doing the same shady stuff in 2020.
Short story: I got my scale, but it took 8 f***ing months and constant lying/runarounds instead of the quoted 3 months (which is still pretty long FOR 1 SCALE!!!).
Long story: I saw his work on instagram and, before checking here on the GBU, placed an order for a copper snakeskin cf scale for my spydiechef (just 1 scale, obviously). Had I seen the countless posts about him beforehand, I wouldn't have given him my business. He asks for the first half of payment as friends and family and says the second half will be goods and services. I didn't question it. I said I would check in near the time it should be done. This is when the lying and constant runarounds started. I sent first half of payment in the middle of September, so I contacted him mid December around when it should've been done. He told me he was still working on it, and it was HALFWAY done. I was understanding and said no problem, and gave him a few more weeks. Then, January passes and it's the end of February (the 20th), so I ask for an update. He says it'll be finished up within a week. Now, it's the middle of March (the 19th, a month later) and I ask what's going on. He says to send the rest of the funds and it'll be shipped out by the end of the week. I sent funds immediately. A week and a half later, I still don't have tracking, so I ask if he got it out and he just replies with "SpydieChef copper snakeskin scale." Uhhh, yeah, I know what I ordered. Is it out yet!? No response. April 6th, I ask if it went out and he replied, asking if I was half or fully paid. I said I was fully paid. He asked for my address again and says it'll go out with that weeks shipment. April 17th and still no tracking. Now, he says it'll go out this week, again. April 25th rolls around and I finally get a picture of my package all packed up and tracking that doesn't still say "USPS awaiting package" or whatever it says when a label is printed but the package isn't with USPS, yet. I got the scale on May 1st. It was flawless, but damn, there's no need to constantly lie to people just to cover up your slow work/shady practices. I would've appreciated honesty a lot more than getting the runaround that I did. Every time I asked him when I'm going to get the scale, he would just say, it's going out this week, while months passed by. To make things worse, I talked to a gentleman that bought a CRK scale from Eric through ebay. It still needed to be made, like mine, but his order was fulfilled in 2 weeks (which is a reasonable time for a custom scale), while orders like mine were put on the back burner because there's no consequences with instagram orders like there are with ebay orders. I watched his instagram with countless sets of scales being pumped out, and mine were given low priority since I was cutting him so much slack with his timing. My mistake there.
Moral of the story, this guy is still on his same BS.

, at least you're onboard now. All things considered, it could have been much worse.
