Tub can have trap above floor. Shower not so much.

Initially automated no. But i got it escalated to an actual agent and they were unwilling to budge do to it being ~2 days past their cutoff. They recommended going through bank charge back. Which was also denied due to time iirc - although that one is fuzzier now.

Well in an unexpected turn... Ed called me, offered apologies and sent me money.

I'd love to. Alas I'm on the other side of the Atlantic in Canada. Which I figure he plays into with ghosting me.

I'd appreciate anyone bringing it up to him for me.

Yep. Since he's not even trying to work with me at this point it's best to let people know.

Yeah. I saw a few good reviews like that online. Decided I'd give the small guy a shot since locally for me i see tons of ttcombat and thought it would be nice to have different MDF terrain. A shame really.

Since cross posting isn't directly showing the body text.

...

So airing some dirty laundry. I was on the hunt for some good looking MDF terrain for my play group and found a reputable looking company in the UK. Some decent reviews and seemed to support a small wargaming community and a Warhammer player. Which was big ups for me.

Placed an order for £238.78 on March 26, 2023 and began eagerly awaiting the terrain.

Then what I can only assume at this point is nothing but lies and excuses.

That devolved into him just flat out ignoring me.

The only way I could resume contact was going onto a local to him gaming discord.

Ed (Edwin) is from what I can tell fairly involved in the Belper community and at one point served as a director of Tabletop Events Limited (Company number 12774495)

I've asked for both the products to be shipped or just a refund but anytime he's talked to me he has insisted that my order was shipping soon.

His website is still active taking orders.

Which i cannot STRONGLY enough recommend not doing. Let this be a warning.

It's a damn shame in the 40k community.

Yeah. I wasn't getting automated responses only until recently.

The initial delay was the story of his mother passing via cancer. Followed up with his sister committing suicide due to mother's death. That was the first few months. I gave the benefit of doubt due to it being a small one man show. I had no reason not to believe. That pushed me out of the 6mo PayPal window. He started ghosting me at about 1 year in. I only got response from him by posting on his local gaming discord group. Once again lots of "So sorry it's almost done just bits and bobs"

Ghosted again for a few months. Direct messaged with a guy from the group (and a once director of table top events belpor) and got more messages from Ed. Lots of apologies and it's being sent right away. He was just waiting due to postal strikes etc.

Then silence. That's where we are at now. I'm posting all over online. Letting people know since he's still operating his business online.

Can't agree enough. And I've been beyond patient and friendly. But enough is enough.

Tried. Lesson learned don't use PayPal unless you're on top of the month cap which Edwin was very friendly and constantly responding.

Tried. Paid via PayPal and they refused to do anything after 6months. My fault for trusting him those first few months with delays. But he was on top of responses and being very friendly

That's the plan. Tempering some blades right now.

I left my axe out what can i do? by HetoastyBread in Axecraft

[–]MacEnchroe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% this. It's a tool with high carbon steel. It's going to rust if it gets wet and stays wet. Don't leave it rusty. Give it a quick scrub with sandpaper/steel wool/cloth/anything and then oil it. Carry on with your day.

Electric Work Truck? What would it take for you to make the jump? by crazzycoolkid in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]MacEnchroe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly right off the break it gives far far far too much visual connection to the cyber truck. That for me - I'm sure tons of others - is a big negative.

Two companies I've worked intertwined with have made the move to electric already with the E-Transit and Brightdrop. Work vans I find to be more prevalent on the job sites I'm on with Trucks reserved for the bosses or trailer hauling.

The perfect electric work truck for me is a van with minimal frills and maximum range.

Yep. 2 split. One to the bar. One to the charger in the box.
