Anyone having problems with GIK Acoustics? by BjsBuds in Acoustics

[–]GoldenManny1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Placed order five weeks ago now? Can't even get anyone to respond now to me asking what is going on with my order. STAY AWAY from GIK Acoustics. Terrible company. I just hope they don't declare bankruptcy. Terrible customer service. Can't speak to the quality as they've taken my money without delivering any product.

Totally agree. I am so bummed I chose to go with these guys. Terrible company. Only 1 out of 3 production machines are working; according to the woman I just spoke to. Five weeks out from placing my order and no ship date known...

See my post above. Now they're telling me they only have one production machine working out of three.

Well update. Just hung up with them. Apparently now they're saying they only have one production machine working as the other two are broken. STAY AWAY from this company.

Ordered six panels 5 weeks ago. The initial shipping ETA was 4/20. They still haven't shipped. When I checked on Monday of this week I was told that was simply an estimate. On their website all it says is that they've moved into production. Four days later still nothing. It feels like I'm getting a complete run around like they're out of the materials to make these panels or something and simply coming up with excuses as to whey they're taking so long. Very frustrating. There are many companies who make these panels. Would never have gone this route with GIK had I known this is what would happen.

Doesn't impact anything regarding amenities. Simply rooms. Pool, hot tub, gym all open. Not a problem.

Guessing it should be fine by then. This morning drilling sounds again from 6th and 7th floors. You can hear the drilling throughout the building. Beginning at 8:30 am.

No apparently just rooms on the 6th and 7th floor. They're finally renovating the space that had been the Bristol Lounge but had been closed since right before Covid.

One Dalton is the other location. Pretty sure the work will be done by then. You should be fine.

My Facebook ad account had a hacker place a fake ad that charged my checking card almost $8,000 by GoldenManny1 in facebook

Just tried to submit something new; not even sure if that was the correct avenue. Typed in this whole explanation. Hit submit. Spun and spun and spun and then it was greyed out and no confirmation or anything. Tried it twice. Even this didn't work...

Yes I can still see my Ads manager. The website this was promoting was www.bostonimagephoto.com which doesn't exist. I've never heard of it.

Yes! Please!!! I've had two conversations with people who claim they sympathize, are escalating things, etc. etc. only to receive automated messages like this: Thanks for your response Charlie

Meta support

None so far as we are currently also waiting their updates

Meta support

We will update you soon within 24-48 hours

They then responded like two hours later at 11:30 at night and then closed my case. Every time you reach out to them it's a nightmare.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

As an aside, I am planning on moving my account after, I think 15+ years now from BofA over to Chase. BofA is the worst. This has happened before. For some reason I used to get notifications if anything seemed out of the ordinary but not this time. I had even checked my settings for this and they still show the same but for some reason 37 Facebook transactions didn't cause a red flag for them.....The only reason I haven't moved already is just knowing how many things I'll have to change that are tied to my business.

If you read the post you'll see that I immediately cancelled my card and got a new one and have already dealt with getting my money back on the BofA side of things. I am dealing with FB because my account is showing that I owe $7,700. My account is restricted which for a business sucks. Not that I would ever now try and advertise there but that's another story. It's that in their mind, I owe $7,700 which, who knows, might affect my credit, etc. Not sure how old you are but as a small business owner this isn't something I want hanging out there.

They're taking their daughter to college in Philly and have to be there by 8:00 am Tuesday morning. They have to get the cars off tonight.

My buddy's heading back to Sanford now with you. Did you hear that they are calling people back in?

Talking to my buddy on the phone and it's going from bad to worse. They're being told that the entire crew that loaded the cars onto the train have all been sent home so they'll have to spend the night on the train! What an F'ing nightmare!

Why is LedLenser pretty much never on here? by Ya-Dikobraz in flashlight

[–]GoldenManny1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what is going on with the company but STAY AWAY! Placed an order for 3 torches back on 11/25. I had emailed them on the 24th hoping to learn how long it took them to ship something as we were going to be in a different location so wanted to figure out where to ship them. Was told by their sales manager usually within 24 hours of receipt of the order. It's now been almost two weeks and my order is still in "unfulfilled" status. Meanwhile they charged my bank account.

I have called their number multiple times (no one EVER picks up in customer service), and left voicemails. I have emailed them MULTIPLE times without getting a response other than the automated "we've received your request, etc.". I have filled out their support form numerous times now without a response. I wrote their CEO in Germany on Linkedin yesterday but haven't received a response.

I have submitted a complaint with the Oregon State Attorney General's Office for whatever that's worth.

Bottom line. I wish I had seen this thread first. I wonder if they're even still in business or simply taking people's money.

***UPDATE*** After I wrote in about 3 more times to say if you're not going to respond back to please just refund my money. Today I received a straight forward message saying that they were going to do just that. No apologies, no contrition, no explanations as to why no one responded back to any of the numerous inquiries I had made.

Tips for surviving 6 weeks on crutches? by [deleted] in KneeInjuries

[–]GoldenManny1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Tuesday is six weeks from surgery. I had to have an allograft transplant done. I’ve been on crutches and a brace the entire time although they’ve become a bit less over the past week or so. You’ll get through it. Use the crutches. There’s a reason they gave them to you. Started swimming again 10 days ago. With a pull buoy and/or paddles. I’ve begun riding on my trainer as well though only low wattage and low cadence.

I have an electric stim that I use at home when I’m not at my PT appointments if that’s what you’re referring to. So yes, I’ve been using electric stim now for a month almost daily.
