whitewolf airsmithing...

[splat15k]

I ordered an RT ULE Custom from whitewolf on April 7th and I still don't have it. I understand that there were backorder issues, but he never responded to any of my 8 emails. So I agree, something's not right here. Sure he's busy, but communication shouldn't have to disappear because of it.

Couponqueen89, you said you would talk to him for me, but you havent yet, are you going to? i guess you are the only one he like talking to or something. and I dont send him e-mails every day, I sent 1 a week 4 weeks back so ive sent a total of 4, and he hasnt responded to them. it makes a man worry when his $1000 dollar gun (not to mention sentimental value) is in another mans hands for almost 15 weeks now...

ive talked to him about it,he said that the anoziders have it,but are very back logged..it suck that you had to wait 15 weeks..but,thats not too much...i myself had to wait 5 months for my mag to get annoed,and i was super happy with the end result,and it was well worth the 5 months it was not in my hands.A friend of mine sent his Xmag to WWA for anno,in november for a purple/yellow acid fade..and he has no complaints at all..its all about waiting..like his site says,if you want fast,pay MAX,he has quick turnaround..

Yea, I had issues with the guy too. When placing orders he'll answer FAST. Once I ordered more than $170 in barrel parts (in STOCK) he sent some off the stuff and told me the rest was with his annodizer. That was back on MARCH 12th. I emailed him several times in May. A few more times in June. Just got my two cocker backs and tip this week. 3 months later for what was considered stock, off-the-shelf items.

He follows through, but tends to neglect paid orderer's emails after a while. That being said, all my previous experiences went very smoothly. Just be a little patient. I reported him to Paypal after 2 months, but that was due to principle

He has said in other threads that you can either pick two not three: cheap/fast/quality. He offers cheap and quality not fast. He does take forever but his work is very good and not way expensive.

He has also said he DOES NOT reply to people that send his e-mails about when there guns will be done.

[splat15k]

what about non-anno-related emails?!

[Eskimo Paint Slinger]

Yes he will reply to other e-mails, but the e-mails that ask him about when there guns will be ready or when does he think there guns will be done he just dosnt respond to.

[splat15k]

So, like previously stated, he only answers emails concerning new orders: admirable

[Eskimo Paint Slinger]

Well I can see where he is comming from. He has stated that you will have to wait a long time for your products and I would think he is a busy guy and doesnt want to wase his time shifting through 100's of e-mails.

[splat15k]

I agree, but should it really take three months for him to send me an RT? Before I sent him the money he said everything was in stock...

[vonort]

Well lets see. If he is already busy and back logged. What do you people think he would be like if he took the time to answer every e-mail? There are only so many hours in the day. If he spends 8 hours sleeping (doubtful nobody gets that much sleep anymore) that leaves 16 hours. Take out time to eat at say 1/2 hour for lunch and breakfast and an hour for dinner. down to 14 hours. Answer emails from everyone and explain to them when their guns will be done.. approximatley 8 hours. So that leaves 6 hours to actually work on the guns. Talk about creating a back log.

splat 15k, I believe he does his annos in batches. He waits till he gets a bunch of the same guns that want the exact same anno and does a large batch. If you have a rare anno it will take a while to get it finished. If you have a simple anno it should not be to long.

So as you can see his style of annoing guns would take some time.

[splat15k]

well since he's not wasting his time with emails, that would leave him plenty of time to at least complete easy(not time consuming)orders.

The thing is is that I didn't order an anno job...i just ordered an RT ULE.

[Eskimo Paint Slinger]

Oh sorry Splat, I got confused there. I thoguht you ordered the anno! Well then I can see no real reason that it would take months for him to ship a gun out.

[splat15k]

Wish I could have helped you out bud, I had these in stock. And I typically ship within 48-72 hours from receipt of payment.

yeah, I'm really kicking myself in the face now! Oh, and don't worry; I'll be doing business with you soon(vert frame and feedneck).
