Does anyone have an in with “Master” Umori? He’s the guy who sells gun hooks on http://gbparts.danawheels.net/pack.html, as well as vector plates and the like http://gbparts.danawheels.net/trap.html. I ordered stuff quite some time ago… and then I asked if I could order some more. “Luckily” he had gotten behind on the original stuff so he hadn’t shipped it, yet. And then a lot more time passed. And he had gotten behind again. And now I am not even hearing back. He’s been linked on that site for quite a while, so I figure others have done business with him and/or know him. The last I heard my stuff was just about ready to ship. So if you’re his neighbor or something, go knock on his door and tell him to get moving.
I ordered pke wings from him about 3 months ago and emailed him about the delay. He said his father has been very ill and that hed been rushing him to the hospital a lot. Thats what he told me. I told him if thats the case then take all the time u need.
That would be fine. But someone else has already told me he’s been playing games with Umori since February. I’m a little skeptical. If I hadn’t already gone through some nonsense, I wouldn’t be too concerned right now, even.
I ordered PKE wings and a face plate from him a while back. It took longer than I expected to get my stuff. But he was always good about answering emails and the quality of the parts was pretty good. Over all I was happy.
He was just recently in the hospital. He’s getting better right now and I’m sure he’s doing all he can to get his orders out and answer emails. Hopefully he can give you guys an update.
Cole,
I know some of my anger is just impatience and frustration, but in this forum, alone, we’ve heard two different excuses for him: his father is in the hospital and he is in the hospital. Apparently, all this happened just last week?
Not to sound like a jerk, but I believe you might be confusing this guy for SG1-Star. Recent delays in SG1-Star’s orders have been because of his pop’s poor health and lots of trips to the hospital. Hope this helps
SG1Star = Umori Bawar
Cole,
Yes, it did acutally just happen this past week. Bad things don’t just happen once a week all the time dude and his father has been out of the hospital for over a week I believe. Give him time to respond. I’m sure he’ll be able to work things out with you.
Cole,
Yeah that’s funny this was posted because I have been wondering the same thing. I orderd gun hooks the first week of May and I still haven’t received anything. I basically had to email to keep getting updates or I feel like I would have never heard back. 2 Weeks ago he said it was finished and he was shipping. NOt sure if the hospital thing happened before or after but its been 3 months regardless and he never mentioned it. I’m just hoping it arrives this week otherwise i’ll figure its still never been shipped.
Well, I heard from him last night. So allegedly, he’s going to send my order today. Did anyone else hear who’s waiting?
not yet. :roll:
Well, I encourage anyone who’s waiting for stuff and hasn’t done so to e-mail Umori. Feel free to mention that I have heard from him, so it’s not as if he wasn’t about yesterday.
I asked him for a tracking number to keep us both honest. I’d recommend you insist on that, too. Or something along those lines.
Not sure if it helps any but I inquired to him about a couple trap holsters and he said he was back up and wouldnt get to them until a month or so. If he was scamming people then he just would have taken my money and ran, however, because he was honest about the wait time I dont see why he wouldnt be honest about other things.
I ordered Gun Hooks from him on the 26th May and got nothing for a while, so much so that I even started a PayPal dispute with him. Thankfully that was canceled when I was then told the same about his father being ill. He emailed me recently to say that they had been posted on the 27th July (last week) so im hoping they will arrive soon.
My best does go out to him if he has had genuine problems and health issues and im sure that, if this is the case, he will do what he can to get the outstanding orders out to people.
Ill update as soon as the order arrives.
Dan
Well that’s good to know at least. I don’t want to inquire again until i learn that somebody received a shipment. Then I’ll have an idea when they were actually shipped and if i need to be in contact again. So whoever gets a delivery please post so everyone knows what is going on.
You know, communications go a LONG way with everyone involved. If people are willing to give you money in good faith for parts the least you could do is communicate! That is what is really lacking here, it only takes a few minutes to let your customers know what is going on with their order. Now we all know that life happens and sometimes things happen beyond your control but just think about it, whats the better way to go about this? Take a few minutes to contact people to let them know what is happening and ask for some leeway OR ignore them and have everyone worried that they have been ripped off and get angry and frustrated! I would chose the latter.
Just my two cents and apparently I’m NOT the only frustrated one!
For the record:
master umori owes me a set of vector plates
marine3228 owes me a Lifgard or my refund
I agree completely. If you’re running a “business” you should try and be professional about situations regardless. At least communicate with paying customers or don’t accept their payments if you can’t get to them.
The only thing I know is he’s been actively selling PKE shells and faceplates on ebay.
Funny how he has the time for Ebay sales but not GB forum sales :shock:
