Barrel question

John Sabato · 08-05-2009, 10:03 AM

Despite the fact that this work looks good, it still took a threat of legal action to get it accomplished,... and without a reasonable explanation... I would never recommend that anything of value be sent to this guy... and if he has parts that you desparately need, and can't get somewhere else (like LugerDoc), I would insist on C.O.D... never money in advance.

Too many complaints from Lugerforum members on this guy to recommend anything else.

That's my $0.02

You’re right, John. If I had not gotten my lawyer involved and sent him those letters I would most likely still be getting excuses and promises of “four more weeks.” If he had just contacted me on occasion to inform me there was going to be a significant delay I would have been fine with that, instead I was always the one chasing him down for an explanation.

And it is too bad. I had original intentions of sending him more work – the guy could have made a few bucks off of me alone – but instead I’m now looking for someone else.

If anyone is considering sending Eugene work best to establish a firm completion date in advance and stick to it. Maybe keep your own letter of intent ready in advance, just in case. Also keep all your records and receipts – again, just in case.
