So I got my tracking number, sent priority. He said should arrive in 2 days. If so, that gives me enough time to get stuff ready.

And I hope Chuck does not mind me posting this, but in the email he kind of explained things a little, he stated:
"Well the knock in the head sent me into extreme pain for days/weeks as well as having some memory loss for a little while. Mainly short term stuff I had just done or was just thinking about. I'm getting better with everything now though."

Now I can shut up and get to work.:)
 
Glad someone heard from him.

After 6 months of waiting I would hope to hear something back from Chuck. hate to hear something like that happen hope he better.

But I didn't hear anything 4 months prior to that happening. Guess I wait another 2 months and cry again about my 140$, lol
 
Pennywise... you're absolutely right. This should not have become a thread to bash Chuck. I didn't participate in it for that reason at all. I simply wanted to know if something had happened to him, since he was always very good about sending progress emails. There had been a blackout with that regard for about a month, though.

I heard from him today and he has had some medical issues which have prevented him from being as productive as he would like to be. But he assured me that he works on our backorders as much as physically possible right now, and I got the impression that he has a lot of our stuff done and ready to ship within the week.

In my contact with him today, I simply urged him to keep in contact... even if it's just to inform us of more delays.

I disagree with the sentiments that this was an "anti-Chuck Ruffkin" thread. It started as a need for information and became a means for others to voice there concerns about artisans not following through on agreements. If you think about it, it served two purposes.
1)Allowed people voice oppinions and vent
2)Taugh less experienced members (like myself) that it may take a long while to obtain parts from people no matter how good the reputation is.

Chuck just happened to be the lead off point that made this possible. I am sorry that he got his name drug through the mud a little but I really think it might have taken this thread to get him moving again. I am pretty sure that more positive things were said about him than negative. He has friends that probably callled him to spur him on after reading this. I don't think that rules were broken even in the slightest. If people can't voice their concerns on here then what good is a site like this. I think this thread actually built Chuck's reputation more.

For all those that posted I say KUDOS and keep it up. As many voices are louder than one...

:cheers
 
I heard from Chuck !! yeah (y)

As pointed out the "community coming together speaking as one voice works"

Chuck reputation is still intact and customers are getting a response finally.

So this thread worked as intended.
The ones trying bring drama into this thread shouldn't have trolled:confused
 
Hey glad to see everyone getting at last a response(y)!!! Now to get those "I got it" posts:lol:. I think this thread did serve its purpose and did help people vent, allow others to be aware, and hopefully correct a problem.

Chuck is a good guy and still I would recommend him for gauntlets. I hope no one reading this thread would see Chuck as being sly. I would just recommend that if you need them in a crunch...there are other gauntlets out there, you will just have to pay more for the quickness.
cheers!
 
I certainly would not turn people away from Chuck, rather I'd advise them not to order in the Summer months. Cons take a lot of time out of his schedule, so other than those busy months for him, he would still be a top choice to get great pieces at an attractive price.

One thing tho, that Chuck may not have been aware of, since he is using the USPS to ship my stuff, is that you can go on the usps website and schedule a pick up AT YOUR HOUSE. That would have saved him a bunch of trouble, if he was unable to get out of the house.
 
Mods please ban me Now. Thanks
I can't take it any longer.
SERIOUSLY I'm done, Good-bye.
Hey, new guys buy from SFP there the best!

Penny....***??? So you didn't mean when you said that you apologized for sounding like an A-hole and then you go say this. Not cool(n)! Try not to take life too seriously.

El1te, your right we are a family. But it seems that he is done with the family. I don't know whats going on with the guy but did he really need to post that!?!?!? It was uncalled for. A family member wouldn't lie to us and pretend like everyhting is Ok when he holds a "issue" towards us. I hope I am not out of line on this but that really got under my skin. I don't know if he was referring to me or to a couple of us or to someone specific but really? Again sorry if I got out of line but that is my bit.
Now lets continue with the ACTUAL discussion at hand.

I can sense penny's sarcasm... Although his comment may not have a place in this thread, I'm just going to ignore it. The last bit about buying from SFP did make me chuckle tho.

On to the topic at hand... I got my stuff yesterday, thank The Force!
 
Got my Gauntlets today - Chuck had done some extra work on them to compensate for the wait - so I was very happy. They're going to be very nice when they're done.
