Noctournal - Andy Rhode

[Madis]

I know he's good at making bars and overally good to chat with, he got permission from Andrew and so, but despite of that, he's starting to lag. Lots of ordered still not done and the overall situation is getting worse every day, at least it seems to me. Plus his semi-cocky attitude on his customers. Observe: http://www.andrewbroussard.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?343193.0

I've even got one legit order (paid) from Lucas Winter and here's his story. (source)

Hey Madis, I ordered a pair of wee bars yesterday and I know it says 5 to 7 business days to ship, but I was wondering just from experience how long an order to usa would roughly take.
I'm only asking this because I ordered Noctournal bars from Andy in mid November and he said they would be here by christmas, which they sadly were not.

---------------------------------------

Plus, here are some other stuff:

Dec 13th, thursday

yea you never answered my question
i ordered on the 7th, does that mean that they were shipped on monday?

Dec 20th, thursday

i ordered a month or 2 ago.... wen are they coming? my email is mnjcarbotti@comcast.net

..., but andy maybe you should respond on here more often, people are getting pissed.

Dec 21st, friday

sure you can design some shirts but the team thing. I am not completely sure about that. I will think about it

i lol'd

]
dudes he said 3 weeks maximum, so chill out. hes pretty busy right now cause he has openground, you guys, and sd to worry about. so cool it on stuff like:

"hey its only been 4 days but where are my bars"

they probably haven't even been welded yet.

and rob your not helping the situation

oh yeah and this is erik. andy can't figure out how to post a response so thats where i come in haha

ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS AND I PAID FOR OVERNIGHT

Dec 29th, saturday

ITS BEEN LIKE 2 1/2 FOR ME AND HE WONT RESPOND TO MY PM's. I WANT A DAMN REFUND

Enough?

---------------------------------------

Should we give him like a week to catch up all his orders? And if he doesn't, he'd loose his permission? Because in my opinion, IF we'd warn him, then i really hope that he'd get more motivation to make bars, than just slacking around.

Dang Madis your gnarly. Just wait until he gets back from SD I was chillin with him yesterday and ill ask him today whats up with the lagging

 

[Madis]

Dang Madis your gnarly. Just wait until he gets back from SD I was chillin with him yesterday and ill ask him today whats up with the lagging

Yea, i have chatted with Andy too multiple times, he seems like a good kid and i respect it,
he can weld and make decent bars, but the situation in that thread has gone just bad.
I just want him to get some more motivation to get his orders done.

Priority issues
Makes a fork before customer's bars. http://www.andrewbroussard.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?157548.10150

I don't wanna be the one who's gonna bring him the bad news, or else he will think i just want him to loose his business. I want him to get more motivated into work. Anybody up for it? Kenny, did you asked him what's up with the lagging?

 

[Matt Dibble]

If you want to make up a warning message for me to send via PM ill send it to him, but its like midnight so i don't feel like writing much of anything out.

you pretty much just dont want it to be from you right? because i see where your coming from with that.

 

[Madis]

Yea. I'm not able to write it now, because i'm leaving for a trip. I'll be back in about 12 hours.

 

[Madis]

i don't know really what to write....
maybe like for example:

-------------------------

We, the admins, are seeing that you have some issues with your customers in cases where you had promised to some certain activities (such as welding and/or shipping bars), but none of them has happened in reality.

We are not going to quote those posts we've seen on your Noctournal thread on "Sell Your Stuff" section. Although if wished, we can quote, just to show the reasons why we are writing this letter for you.

Unfortunately we are forced to give you a warning, and one week to catch up your orders and to change your attitude towards your customers.

Or else - your merchant permission on SR will be terminated, possibly considering a ban.

We hope you will learn from this warning and we also hope that you will get motivation to start making bars in a legit way.

Regards,
The Admins.

-----------------------------

Sounds okay? Or too harsh?

NB! I may have some grammatical mistakes in that, please fix them?

-

 

[Matt Dibble]

I think it sounds fine. I don't see any grammatical issues jumping out at me either. We could also add a thing above his avatar or whatever that says "Merchant Status Pending until January 9th" or something.

If anyone else sees anything wrong with it then it can be changed... but I'll give people not on here 24/7 a chance to read it and give their thoughts before i send.

edit: sent.

i would be sooo pissed if i was the kid who was told i was getting overnight shipping and did not receive yet being like 3 weeks or something. damn.

 

[Matt Dibble]

his week to clean up his act ended yesterday. madis have you been watching him because i just scanned through the thread and one of his posts said "im shipping them all out tomorrow or you can chop my balls off" or something haha. so minus the last part of it it sounds like he is doing better with it? idk you followed him more closely than i did.

 

[Madis]

I'm about to look the thread. Will edit.

---------------------------------------------

lol i was in reno all day and they are all ready but i just didnt have time today so i will ship them tomorow or you can chop my balls off!!!!

Lol.

That was posted on 8th. Today is 10th. Bars were supposed to be sent out yesterday.
We are going to wait:
in case he does not say tonight in his thread that he shipped them out yesterday or not even today,
then we are going to chop his balls off. Muhahaha...

Dunno about the permission yet, i know that he's trying, but it seems he gets excuses a little too often. But that might be just a temporary REAL situation, because i know that i've got some issues myself with the bars since the welding company lost my spare 20ft of crossbar tube during the movement from one location to another, so i had to order a new tubes yesterday. So yea, i can understand if Andy gets into a lot of issues himself.

 

[Kenny O.]

He's making more excuses.

]
cause one of his was already made before he ordered
i just had to cut it down an inch and the other one i had few tubes notched at a friends house
but he has a very bad flu so no notching now
but i ordered the table

He basically broke his word saying that the bars WOULD be shipped out already. I say pull his permission. If he wants to get his bars out there, he'll have to find another way.

 

[Madis]

Poor kid

With the past 10-12 days, he has been able to send out only one bar (Koen's?) and ALL others are STILL asking where are theirs. I thought he'd pull himself together.

What's Andrew's final word to this?

 

[the_SD_local]

He has until January 18 to ship everyones parts with tracking number or he is gone.

 

[Madis]

Did you PM him about this or will you bring it out to the public?

Better yet, he has a camera, so ask him to to make pics of those receipts he gets from the post-office with tracking numbers on.

 

[Kenny O.]

Tomorrows the 18th, Ill probably forget to check to see if he shipped them or not, so yeah Madis its all yours.

 

[Madis]

He's so doomed.

No tracking numbers issued within the 18th, and Koen Nelson's tracking number does not work either. (his package was supposebly sent like a week ago, like Andy said).

 

[Madis]

I got the email but when I paste the tracking number in that website it says "Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site."

maybe it's not processed yet. Wait for the end of the day or for tomorrow... If it doesn't show tomorrow either, then you have a problem with Andy.

]
yeah it probably hasn't processed yet. My mom didn't have time to ship them the other day when i told her to and she forgot to tell me that she didn't and when I asked her for the tracking number she told me she didn't ship it. So it got shipped today. Sorry.

Wtf, i missed something.
Koen Nelson's were sent a week ago, like Andy said a few pages ago.
There should defenetaly be some tracking information for that package or this is all a lie.

What do you have to say for it all as your final post in this thread?

PS! You did not send us the tracking numbers nor the pics of the receipts.

]
I can't ship them out until tuesday because the stupid post office is closed and monday is a holiday. I would get them all out by today except that the post office is closed.

Madis would you like a picture of all of the finished bars to prove that they are all done?

Yes. Please prove that you are doing anything except slacking off.
If you want to gain trust in Andrew's eyes, then you should do it ASAP.

]
I can get the pictures tomorow. The guy who is doing them for me is out of town today.

Madis Kukk (22:41:36): then you know what is going to happen.
scooter andy1994 (22:41:50): ok

--------------------------

PS! He has his own forum at this place,
so in my opinion, he could redirect all his customers to his forum and give his BS excuses out there.

---------------------------

He has until January 18 to ship everyones parts with tracking number or he is gone.

POLL:
Who's up for that we'd remove his thread and tell Andy to redirect all his current customers to his own forum?

 

[Kenny O.]

As much as I don't want to, I'd say take his thread away. He's made way too many excuses as of now and keeps pushing the shipping back farther and farther. If you hadn't stepped in and told him to shape up or the threads gone then I doubt the bars would even be closed to being shipped.
