glyph said:There were some issues with my order where one of the employees was not doing his job of shipping stuff, and was stuffing the boxes in a corner of the warehouse under a tarp. That was when his problems began. He ended up firing a couple of his employees that were pulling all kinds of stunts, and then there were people who were complaining when there was no need to yet, with timelines of 4-6 weeks with custom built to order items who were demanding the parts in a couple weeks. Stupid stuff. Of course, I'm sure there were some valid complaints in there, too, but Beau probably just got sick of the hassle. He told me he was thinking of closing shop when I last talked to him early this year. It looks like he has finally done so, but he always made good one way or the other, in my experience. Definitely a bummer. My Sleeper kit rocks.
Yes those were some of the excuses among many more that he gave. When I ordered my manifold almost 2 years ago, he gave the same excuses to me about the coaters. One can't do it because he has too much work to do, the other one closed shop, etc... Two years later he still used the same excuses.
Too bad because he does make quality products...
