Ok, I was going to wait, but I did save the message he sent. The HoeCrabs he speaks of is homecrag.com... a site that started because Shawn shuts down his forum anytime people start complaining.
"It's actually very simple. If for some reason you did not get your package, be it lost, missing or damaged. Just pick up any phone near by and call us at 915-345-5337 it's always been that easy. And also don't forget. We don't just pay for USPS shipping labels to pretend we shipped something. That would be a total waste of our profits. Which by the way are very low because we give you all such great deals.
BTW
HoeCrabs is awesome! maybe we should just close this forum and everyone can use that one? no reason to have two..."
Then shortly after many people lost their accounts...
"Same thing. It's not CoM...it's ClimbOmatic. I have no problem with HomeCrag it's the point.
It's not my respect. It's the stats and it's why the other owners droped this URL. This small group of climbers is full of hate. Hundreds of smooth transactions and a handful of flamers. Click your posts and see your constant bad replies. It's obvoius why the other owners gave up on such rude customers. And then to sell the stuff for such cheap prices? Wow, honestly how would you feel. To work you ass off harder and harder only to be punished daily and told you're basically worthless."
"Hundreds of smooth transactions"....
I have made two transactions, albeit one sided, so far with climbomatic. They have yielded a 0% success rate thus far.
I have a "shipment notification" from the April 23rd order... it says the seller notified USPS on April 26th. I can go in and look a little farther and see that the shipping should take 2-5 days.
The April 30th order has yet to be notified to USPS.
I would never have had any issues with any of this, as I knew it would take forever, but Shawn decided this time to promise that they would be shipped out within 3-5 days... in fact, he gave the exact dates, but I don't remember what the date was for the 30th order. The 23rd order was supposed to be shipped on the 26th, which is when the notification was given. Everyone on the forums over there said they hadn't received their order from early April, or late April... so apparently USPS just lost a load of packages.
I contacted Shawn prior regarding the pair of Tiblocs for $9. I told him I was really wanting to pick up a pair, but the button on his site was broken. He replied that the button wasn't broken, that the site was just overloaded with THOUSANDS of climbers wanting to buy them. According to his own site, the most any amount of climbers has been on his site was February something, with 1500ish climbers online. I highly doubt that that measurement is correct because I have never seen more than 150 at any given time (and that is being very generous).
After several people today started talking about the Mystery gear not being shipped yet, we all got our accounts banned over there.
I said I would post on my experiences, and well... these are it so far. I am calling Shawn in the morning since it apparently is that easy and we'll see how that goes.
I will however, never buy anything from climbomatic without the assumption that I will either 1) lose my money or 2) have to file a complaint through paypal about the lack of shipment.
I will post back after the phone call tomorrow.
