pierreganseman Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) That's how it goes with custom builders.... I think in the end , most of them don't care, and have a whole catalog of bulls***t excuses ready to be used. In the end that's how it is. Brands that provide great service : Fodera , Alembic, mike lull....... and a few more... sadly the list is short ;-) Edited October 18, 2013 by pierreganseman Quote
woodyratm Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Okay to update - I was told the units would have been shipped in a week on the 11th, I gave till today for that to happen. No updates, no shipping notice, nothing. I've asked for my money back since it doesn't appear as though I'll get them this millennium... As much I love the stuff they build; I can't recommend anyone to them now. Sorry [u][b]Iron Ether[/b][/u] - this wait for 3 pedals is appalling, lying about pedals being shipped when they're not is also utterly mental. Quote
pierreganseman Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Just get your money back and go your way ... ;-) Quote

skej21 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Wow. If they can't even manage the return of your money, that's very poor! Quote
woodyratm Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1382712623' post='2255817'] Wow. If they can't even manage the return of your money, that's very poor! [/quote] Yep - I've no idea whats happened with them. Ordered stuff in the past, quick build times, fast shipping. Honest comms. But now.... um not so much! Not really sure what else I can do to get my money back now.... They were paid via paypal using credit card in Aug. Quote
artisan Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Get in touch with Paypal you may be able to claim your money back through them. If you had paid direct with you credit card the card issuer would credit you themselves but since the card went through Paypal that won't be an option now. I had a similar experience through ebay a couple of years ago & Paypal eventually refunded me. Quote
Skol303 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I'm always happy to wait for stuff providing good, honest communication is maintained. Some people fall into the bad habit of over-promising rather than being realistic about turnaround times - we encounter this occasionally with suppliers at work. It's usually well intentioned, but it's not good practice. I'd recommend a firm yet friendly chat to agree a realistic delivery time before requesting a refund. But obviously it's your call! Quote
Ruck Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Still waiting for my Oxide. week 10 now when I was told 3-4 week wait same as you. Searching on Talkbass reveals Taylor is moving operations. Not sure if this is true. I am also experiencing the same total lack of comms, I was told it would be sent 14th and two weeks later no word of shipping number yet even after reminding him. Edited October 26, 2013 by Ruck Quote
Ruck Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 He also apparently has a massive backlog of Subterreana's with the noise bleed issue he has to repair. Again, not sure if this is true, just what I can gather from Talkbass. Still It would be nice of him to let us know what is actually happening himself. Quote
Roland Rock Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Got mine today at last! Ordered 1st Aug, arrived today Quote
Ruck Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 My Oxide and SubT has just been shipped. They have updated the home page stating the website is temporary closed due to medical emergency. I hope whoever it concerns makes a full speedy recovery! Quote

dmccombe7 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 At least you got your money back. By sound of it the medical issue was serious then ? Dave Quote
