Jewelers ?? I bought a QT66 from them off EBAY 3 weeks ago, I did the paypal thing and got a email telling me that a shipment had been made with tracking number...no big deal. I liked the QT66 so much that I deceide to buy another from them, that was 10 days ago. I did the Paypal thing , no emails , I called their phone 3 times and got an answering maching that said the box was full..not good. I have sent a total of 12 emails to Findking or Phoenix Jewelers soince I paid for the auction and have had no responce back. I hate to blacklist anyone here on this board..but I thought you good people should know.
Thanks Dwight P

I got my QT66 from him a couple of weeks ago. It was delivered so fast (in 3 days) I couldn't believe it.
Wonder if something has happened that prevents him answering email or returning phone calls? He has a 98 or 99% good feedback, so I can't imagine why he would do something intentionally to jeopardize that.
I don't know a thing about the guy, except I got good service.
Hopefully, the tumbler is on it's way and just got waylaid somewhere by UPS. (that's how mine came.)
I ordered & paid for two barrels (not from Findingking)for my QT66 on Feb. 2nd and they are still not here. I am getting a little antsy, but am giving it a couple more days before I have a fit because I know that UPS does sometimes get packages on the wrong truck and it delays delivery. It's hard because I have a batch of flint I want to get to tumbling!
Maybe today will be our lucky day - keeping fingers crossed!

With UPS, always, always request signature recquired. I have had deliveries made to shops in a different town, packeges thrown in the woods with 1500$ in black pearls in it. I have watched a UPS driver literally empty the back of his truck at a stop sign and go into the nearby Waffle House. I called in and I was given such an hard time the issue never got addressed, and I dropped it. Always, always, make it either collect, or signature recquired. Lets hope that is what it is. At least you can backcharge on your credit card.

I just got a cryptic email "we have been busy, your order has not been shipped.We will ship as soon as we can"
I responded, "This is 10 days after I paid for it, you have not responded to a single email in 10 days. This is poor service in my opinon"
I will not buy from these people again Dwight P

Sheesh, what an ass! One would think they would at least be somewhat apologetic for their crappy service.
I think my friend is bidding on a tumbler from this guy, so thanks for the info so I can pass it onto her.
I won't buy from him again either!

You might want to try Alpha Suppy. They have good prices on tumblers, and e-mailed me when the 33b I ordered was on back order and gave me a date to expect it. Then they e-mailed me when they shipped it, which was a week later, but the price of it was about $63 san shipping. I thought that was pretty good. I've seen used ones on ebay go for more than that.

Alpha Supply has Lortone qt66 for $160. They kept me informed as to the progress of my 33B. I don't know what the going rate for these is, I'm still learning. Some day though, just you wait and see!

Update , almost 20 days since I payPaled them for the tumbler...I got 1 phone call and the girl was in a real hurry to get me off the phone, if I hadnt been at work I would have grilled her for more information..that was last week. I have called back since and gotten no answer , no returned emails. here is what she said "We have been so busy we havent had time to send out your order, we hope to send it out in the future" and then she practically hung up on me.....in the future. I will never buy from these jerks again, if you are on this board you know I am a person who is truthfull and does not easily loose my temper...do not buy from these people.

he's had 124 negative feedbacks in a month; 612 in the past 6 mos. with many people c/o never receiving their items, lack of communication, missing or wrong items. i saw where 1 person complained to paypal and he had to refund their money. you might try this. thanks for warning us and getting us looking. hope you get this resolved soon.
