rehmwa 2 #52 April 21, 2010 QuoteAnd if you're going to open a business, have enough capital and resources to sustain a couple of hiccups If you are making jumpsuits, some of those industrial machines are powerful enough, that I don't think your proposal to be drinking on the job is a good idea. I'd save the hiccups for after the work day. You could sew your whole arm into a bootie in a split second. ...

k-dubjumps 0 #55 April 21, 2010 Finally got a bunch of emails from Rob last night. I happened to be up at 1:00 AM and had a lovely email exchange with him. He's stated that "i am yet to read the drop zone post - but think, that once matters are sorted, you'll be able to clear it up." Just as soon as funds are released from PayPal sometime next week *sarcastic voice*I'll be sure to clarify why I had to wait for a refund */sarcastic voice* .

Aneshe 0 #62 April 22, 2010 I know that Rob is a good person and would be more than happy to pay to whatever fees you incurred. Im sure that there is a good reason why you have not been able to reach him. It is really sad that you have bad mouthed rob in such a way and on one of the most popular skydive forums. I cant imagine how hard it would be to run a business on his own and have to put up with crap that ppl say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant imagine how hard it would be to run a business on his own and have to put up with crap that ppl say. What's a good reason for telling me I'd be getting a $600 refund on March 29 and not actually doing it until April 21? Oh wait, there was the trip to China he took AFTER he said I would be getting the refund. And he did take the time to test his new product this past weekend. Priorities, right? He's the one having to put up with crap? Get what you give dude. If he didn't treat his customers like crap he wouldn't have crap to deal with. 'Nuff said! It took me sending a plethora of emails, posting messages on his facebook page, PMing him here, posting this thread and filing a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Victoria over the course of 3 WEEKS to get a response from him. And as far as badmouthing him goes, trust me, I'm far from bad mouthing him. Sorry, but I'm not the kind of person to just sit on my ass and wait for something to happen. If I've been wronged, I'm damned well going to something about it! I'm sure he's a stand up guy, but fact of the matter is, he doesn't know how to run a business. If he doesn't figure out the importance of his customers, his business will fail. Plain and simple. Edit to add: I even asked Rob several times to explain how "off" the colors of the jumpsuit were and to provide a photo because I might still be willing to take it. He never answered any questions regarding the jumpsuit then stopped responding completely. Yeah, that's how bad of a person I am. I still tried to make it work when there was a problem. Just thought you'd want to know.Adrenaline is my crack DPH #3 D.S. #16 FAG #12 Muff Brother #4406 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
