      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I placed on order on the seller's website on 12/3/23. A partial order arrived at my house on 12/27/23 with a drum stand missing. The seller has been unable to fulfill the order since then, keeps making excuses and has been pushing a possible shipping date more and more in the future (April, per last email from 2/26/24). I have asked the seller 2x to refund me the money for the item he has not been able to procure, and cannot guarantee to procure in the near future. The seller is refusing to refund me the already paid $99 item cost + $24.48 shipping (total of $123.48) via PayPal (original means of payment). I am asking you to assist me to get my refund. Thank you.

      Ordered an ophicleide instrument 9 December 2022 through the online page. Received a receipt via email. I called to confirm due to not having a delivery date. I was told it would be in in January 2023. I was strung along until 19 June 2023 when I finely cancelled the order, due to the shipment being delayed again to July 2023. Hope I get the $1565.00 back. I was super patient, understanding and cordial during all communications. When I cancelled the gentleman stated he cancelled it. I then asked if I would be refunded my money, he became aggravated with me, raising his voice. Stating that he canceled the the order and he did not know where I was coming from. After several request he stated he would refund the money. Too bad, my son really wanted the instrument for Christmas and still does not have it.
