Or should I say, "Unreliable" Resin......

I ordered a resin body kit from Don last April or May. I was told six weeks for delivery after payment. An email to the guy was sent out 4-5 weeks ago and at that time, he responded that he took up a real job because he couldn't live on his resin business. He also said that he had some time and a two week window to catch up on his orders. Fair enough, but, I haven't heard anything back from the guy since and he hadn't responded to my numerous email messages. There's an address but no phone number on his web site. There's got to be someone out there who has some experience dealing with him.......Did I just get screwed for $60?

Rut Roh!

Jack, I hate to be a killjoy, but there's been MANY MANY discussions on this board about D.T. (I daren't mention his name) and it has never been good. I've known this chap for years, and while I've never bought from him, all I can tell you is the MYRIADS of stories that those who have dealt with him, don't have much good to say.

I'm sorry you might be the latest victim............keep putting the screws to him to either get your money back, or get your product. :(

If you mailed him the money, does that not constitute 'mail fraud'? Go to the post office and ask them to get your money back :) 

 

FYI..as Bill said, this has been happening for several years :(

I've been reading articles about him being unreliable for over 10 years....I had a few successful transactions with him, but that was 15 years ago... I remember talking w/ him on the phone about some transaction, he seemed a bit shady.  Had one eBay transaction w/ him over 10 years ago, took forever to ship.  Definitely someone to avoid.

My one and only dealings with them was via Ebay. It went perfect. . Although it was  maybe  10 years ago or more????. ( my memory isn't what it used to be )

 But Ive heard dozens of stories and NONE had a good ending for the buyer

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones ^_^

... ordered a '68 cougar about six years ago through the big auction site and though it took a while, it got here okay.

Only the single worst after market experience of my 64 years on this planet.

I put in a major order of bodies and parts. After giving him EVERY break in the world, I ended up with less than half of my order over an 8 month period.

Insult to injury, they were the worst resin parts I've ever seen. Major flash, giant air bubbles and the worst soft / lack of detail.

To sum it up, if you order from him, you'll get exactly what you deserve.

Yikes.......I was afraid I might get this reaction. I believe I payed via PayPal. I think they have ways to deal with things like this. Then there's always the State Bureau of Consumer Protection. Maybe the State of Wisconsin will motivate the guy.

I've had good luck with getting refunds from PayPal for resin casters that couldn't deliver product.

I must say that I have never had the opportunity to order from him.  Many years ago, I had looked at his site and saw several items that had interested me at the time.  Then, I start to see all the stories about Reliable Resin not following through like they should on the many forums I had belonged to.  One member of my Club had ordered a set of wheels from him and got them in a fairly reasonable amount of time, but the entire Club concluded that his getting his parts was a fluke.  Do not do business with this person!!!

Hi,

It surprises me that in this day and age of an ever shrinking world were word gets out about as fast as the speed of an electron, that companies still pull this off.

Just weird.

BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! I ordered a body from someone over a month ago. Can't remember who. Hope it wasn't him!

 

Blah,Blah, Blah,Blah??? What the heck?

The amount was $68.00 and the transaction happened on May 22 via PayPal........A message was sent to him through the PayPal system and I requested my money back. Let's see what happens now. I'll keep you all updated.

My story.

My first time ordering from him went well, got my order in three weeks, all my order was excellent quality. My second order with him was the order from hell. Multiple emails and phone calls, always the same excuse, waiting for resin, too many orders to fill and got behind, I'm very sick and will get your stuff done in two weeks. Yada, yada, yada. Well after almost two years of waiting and endless excuses, I wrote a very nasty sarcastic post on this site. Boy did I get his attention. The next day he called me and was pissed at me that I called him out in this site. But my post also got the attention of our Harry and he went to bat for me with him.A deal was struck, and I had my order within 30 days of Harry's intervention. Lesson learned, no more orders to RR, and I will always be indebted to Harry for his help. RIP my friend, you are missed.
