Meh, most of us are both sites, just thought i would pass this on to you guys. I dunno what they did, neither do i care.

After they gave all us RBV guys a big "F-U" with the doubler setup, I ceased all orders to them. I go with Dan at RuffStuff or Kert at DIY4X. Both guys are great to work with, parts are top notch, and prices are great.

Lance caught wind of Ballistic screwin over other vendor's as well as members... Them failing to pay A.A. for an Atlas was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak, among several other things.

Dan @ RuffStuff FTW!

I read.... it's all there, just gotta know where to look, lol.

Hi guys Vic here from Advance Adapters. I posted this in a yellow star forum that you guys can't read

Anybody else get screwed?

I may delete or edit this post. We have written this off as a loss.

Has anyone else been screwed by them? They contacted me by a PM here on Pirate for an Atlas. They asked for net 30 terms, which we gave. They ordered an Atlas from us. They have refused to pay for the Atlas. Their bill is overdue by 13 months. The owner has been honest though "I'm not going to pay". He feels our collection calls are rude and interfering with his business. I have to say that Camo was willing to intervene. I told Camo, I was going to post in the "bad sellers forum". Camo said go for it. I think we would have got paid with Camo's help.

The owner of AA being Mike said "no". "I just do not want the drama." I imagine he will make me delete this as well. I have worked for him for 14 years. I work for a great company. He has only one down fall. The guy is just too damn giving and nice.

What I don't understand is why would Ballistic choose to screw AA?

So, Who else have been screwed by these crooks?

I too did not have a very good experience with bull-is-sh*t fab. With the automated repies and the lack of information on lead times I damn near pulled out the rest of my hair. They told me I would receive part a week after I ordered them. A few emails, six weeks and a bit toungue later I finally got a tracking number. I certainly will not be ordering from them again, I cant handle the stress. They sent me an email saying they are clearancing stuff they cant sell. I wonder if it is because people would rather buy from someone else.
