Mike 90 1 #1 Posted July 1, 2020 I recently purchased a canopy from Jeff Barlow who has multiple advertisements up, and his profile has 700+ advertisements on his history. The canopy was listed in the United States but the shipping info he just provided states it's coming from Russia. Has anyone done business with this guy or is he scamming me?

ChrisT 0 #2 September 9, 2020 What was the verdict. I am looking a canopy from him too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,313 #3 September 9, 2020 I bought, and received, a canopy from him recently. Came just as promised. I would not say he went over and above (e.g. the slinks it came on were some old-style ones that are no longer used, and it wasn't separately wrapped in plastic before being boxed). The canopy was complete and in good condition. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsinsel 0 #4 October 5, 2022 I'm dealing with Jeff Barlow right now. He asked me to send money to [email protected] but my software tells me that is not Jeff. It's some guy named Sergei. Anyone have any info. I don't trust this deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,313 #5 October 5, 2022 All I can say is what I did in the ad above. You might want to ask this in Gear and Rigging; maybe more people there have dealt with him. He has been on dz.com for quite a long time. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsinsel 0 #6 October 5, 2022 Ok, his payment link won't work. He's evasive about his relationship to the skydive store. He says they don't accept any credit cards or Venmo, want's Zelle only and I'm feeling like this is the most bizarre sales tactics I have ever encountered in 30 years of skydiving and gear purchases. I'll never, ever deal with them again, even if this comes out ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theredbull86 0 #7 October 5, 2022 Ive used him recently. Same email and I was curious of the name Sergei also but i was able to send the money and got the canopy delivered quick.(within 2 weeks) It was shipped directly from NZA though. I would buy from him again, he replied each time to me but I think there is a time difference so it wasnt always quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slavoo 0 #8 July 2, 2023 I bought a canopy from him back in 2020. Crossfire 3, brand new. I had the same concerns but in the end I went for it. Delivered within a month (all the way to Portugal). The guy's legit. Loved the canopy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
