You sir, are a very patient man.No you are not alone, that's why I commented. When I first talked to him he didn't really want to take another order because he said he was at least 7 months behind and I would have to wait on those ahead of me. I said I would wait because that's what I wanted if he would still do it. Of course no one thought it would take this long.
Forget the lawyer! It will end up costing you more for that than the $1500 loss from Sugarbear. Visit him and talk it out. In NJ you can go to small claims court and have a judge sort it out. But who knows what California can do for you? After all you can walk in a store and steal up to $900 in goods with no ramificationsI know it is a tough topic, but the revival of it has helped me vent and see I am not the only one in this position.
Thanks for the sympathy and advice. I may have to do the lawyer route or shut up and accept he is a crook.
