357 is at it again!!!

[Budman68]

Interseting announcement from Chad Dyer today on the BLS forum:

"OK gang...

I think you'll agree with me that I've been VERY patient with this offer, and the repeated questions and ABUSE I've taken, along with 357.

The deal is that GUITARS ARE ARRIVING. They're being SENT OUT AS THEY ARRIVE.

I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS QUANTITIES AND OR SHIPPING DATES FOR GUITARS. They ARE arriving and they ARE being sent out.

The bottom line is this: if you are NOT satisfied with the way you are being treated, or you do NOT want to wait, you CAN get your money back. All you have to do is contact [email protected] and let them know.

Further insults TOWARD me or TOWARD 357 will not be tollerated and will be dealt with SWIFTLY and SEVERELY.

If you enjoy posting here on the BLS forum, and want to stay here, STOP going after me and 357. If you have time in your day to try and insult me, don't waste your time.

On a side note...there's been a few really great people who have had mine and 357's back through all this...and those people are going to be GENEROUSLY rewarded from us. One thing I've learned from Zakk in the 5+ years I've had the honor of working for him. FUCKING LOYALTY IS LIFE'S GREATEST TREASURE. THROUGH THE THICK AND THE THIN, YOU STAY LOYAL, AND YOU WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. There's going to be some happy motherfuckers out there very soon.

More on this shortly."

I'm holding my breath, too. Though, if we both pass out together, will people think it's some weird lover suicide pact??

Oh man, there's some major ass kissin in that thread now on zw.com

Chad is displaying the true meaning of waffling.
1st he posts that 500 guitars are shipping out. Now he's "not at the liberty to discuss" quantities. If he isn't.... who the frig is??
Its just not standard business practice. Even his wording is very unprofessional.
I also find it interesting that he now refers to 357 Customs as "them".
I see a little distance posturing. Its always good to sneak off the ship before it sinks.

wow having not checked in on this dealy for a while, this is fucking classic!

I do hope you guys all get your guitars, but cannot help but laugh at the overall situation created by 357. man oh man did they fuck up.

[IrfaanSE801]

Looks like sometimes ya need to bribe people in order to keep your good name, although there's not been much good said about the way these people do business

[BTB007]

Well, I emailed 357 to get a refund and decided to stick it out after I got a pretty nice reply within 24 hours. I'm not sure who emailed me because they didn't attach a name, but they were very nice and assured me that everything will ship soon. Oh, and I didn't want to have to ship the stupid diecast back to get my refund!

Oh, and I didn't want to have to ship the stupid diecast back to get my refund!

Why would you have to ship the diecast back? Can't they just refund the $32 shipping you paid for the guitar?

[veemagic]

Its all going to work out. WE WILL GET THE GUITARS!!
Patience.

I'm in on the mp4 player deal. So, it would have been at least $160 that I wanted back. The diecast was supposed to be a bonus with the guitar, I thought.

[texasfury]

For academic reasons, when was the VERY FIRST time this deal was offered?

[jgcable]

Its probably at least 5 months ago.

[BTB007]

December/January - gift certificate deals (bullseye, camo and buzzsaw)
February - mp4 deal with Buzzsaw diecast and guitar
March - Ultimate Camo and Bullseye Packs

[texasfury]

And have any of the Dec/Jan orderers gotten their axes yet?
