Synthmonger (Issue Resolved) |
|
|
Back in April Synthmonger announced that he would be selling his CMOS triple resonator PCBs in the Lunetta forum. I didn't know much about him, but decided that for $20 bucks, it would be worth taking a chance. Three weeks after paying him, I hadn't received the PCB and the shipping status in Google Checkout was still "not shipped". I contacted him, and he told me that he'd send the board, plus an extra PCB for my troubles.
Well, it's two weeks later and I'm still waiting. I just want people to think twice before sending him any funds. If I've lost the $20, so be it, but I'm not going to be quiet about it. I've had many positive transactions with other synth diyers via electro-music, and will do what I can to keep the lame sellers away.

Hi Romeo,
I'm sorry I didn't respond to your email earlier before you had to post this.
I had trouble originally with the boards like I said. I made two batches each with a simple error, I should've shipped you one from the 2nd batch since it was just a simple side-by-side pin switch mistake but I really wanted to have a nice clean cut board with no mistakes.
I've bought, traded and sold goods with quite a few people on the board and I'm sure they can say all positive things about me. I have not had any negative feedback from anyone on the board. There was one problem due to a tracking number updating way to late (some 5 hours later from the moment I shipped it) but that was resolved and everything is fine now.
This is just a rare case that won't happen again. Thankfully I'm going into work late today so I can ship them off before I head there. Expect a tracking # in a few hours.
Sorry for any stress I've caused you. _________________ Youtube!

I'll vouch for synthmonger- he sold me some pcb's & parts a while ago, and actually sent the goods while my money order was in transit to him.
They arrived immaculately packed & in perfect condition. |

update: This morning I received a shipping notification and tracking number from Synthmonger. I'm sorry that I had to resort to douche tactics, but I tend to get on edge when I feel like I'm being jerked around. |

Can your subject line be edited to reflect that this was resolved? |

I totally understand. No bad feelings here. It's all gravy. _________________ Youtube!

Synthmonger is a good guy. He is a very very big supporter of electro-music.com since the very early days. Without his support in those days, we might not be here now.
You never know how good a supplier is until you have a problem, Looks like Synthmonger came through and resolved the issue. _________________ --Howard

Romeo, I'm glad you've had your issue with Synthmonger resolved. But as it stands, I've really been left out in the cold by him.
While he seems like a very pleasant person, the fact is I paid $300 for a Delaymonger pedal in January of 2008 and have never received anything. Months went by without any communication, followed by him promising to send me my pedal in a few weeks. This was in late July of last year. After that my e-mails were not returned.
I really don't want to be a jerk about this, but I feel like I've been taken for a ride and will never see the pedal or my $300 again. All I want is my pedal or my money back. So please Synthmonger, have the decency to treat me with the respect you have Romeo and some others! |

OK, I got the CMOS Resonator board today. Mark was kind enough to throw in one of his PWM boards as well. I appreciate that Mark did follow through, and included a peace offering.
I apologize for making this public. I've been burned in the past and am less patient as a result of that. |

Just to update everyone: it looks like Synthmonger and myself are finally on the verge of resolving my grievance. He's agreed to ship me a pedal of comparable value by no later than June 12th. I'm very optimistic about resolving this, and will keep everyone informed with regards to the outcome of this situation. |

Hey! Yeah if you get a chance. When I talk synth to my friends here their eyes glaze over and they die a little inside. _________________ When they plug me in the lights go down in Hong Kong.
