Members Cratz Posted December 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 They gave me the goddamn runaround AGAIN today. I was told a "christmas shipment" was coming in and they'd call me when the kit was ready, decided to call them myself after wasting three hours waiting for the call only to be told by someone else that there was never a shipment coming in.

Members manoeuver Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Too bad about the service. Nice kit though, you'll never have to buy another (although you may want to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cratz Posted December 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 ...Still isn't here. I told the guy to be real with me, and pretty much all I got was "I'm thinking wednesday." A week and a half after his original latest predicted date. I've been holding on because I don't want to repeat the waiting process somewhere else, but if it isn't here on friday, I'm demanding a refund.

Members kmart Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 Is this an indie shop or chain? If its a chain, the guy COULD track down the shipment details and get you a solid enough estimate for delivery. If its an indie...maybe he could, maybe not. Sounds like whatever the case, you're getting played, and nobody really knows one way or the other; they're just spewing out dates and crossing fingers.

Members mraia3 Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 Actually, while this sucks, it doesnt sound terribly out of the ordinary. Consider the time of year. I would hate to see you have to start all over again. Give it till Wednesday and then reassess, if you want. Thats my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the DW Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Sounds like the old "how many balls can you juggle" runaround. Vendors won't release merchandise until the shop pays their past-due bills, so the shop is usnig as many stall tactics as they know. It's a tough situation for the drum shop to be in, but by the same token, you shouldn't have to suffer because of their mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised if they took your deposit, and paid off some other manufacturer to get a bigger order released, and now they gotta sell off that stuff to make a payment to Yamaha to get your stuff released.

I can understand a holiday slowdown, but the repeated lies are getting to me. These guys have been in business for a while; they couldn't possibly be this incompetent.

I would probably have the urge to murder someone if I found that this was the case.Eh, whatever happened, they have until friday. If the cymbals I ordered online (10 days after I ordered the kit) get here first, I'm done with this store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cratz Posted January 5, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Drums came in on Thursday. Turns out the guy was full of {censored} about the aquarian heads, they shipped with yamaha stock heads. I'm getting a set of evans for 1/2 price tomorrow, though. Full setup tomorrow; the rest of my kit is in Galveston (I'm in Houston). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cratz Posted January 5, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Definitely getting a 14" FT and black hardware for the kit. All together, it should run me about $400. Last time I'm bumping the thread, I'll post the full setup in the appropriate thread. Thanks for all the advice and comments, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
