got a text from chaz saying basically same thing from 3 weeks ago.... he is waiting on the interiors from sterling gaming and they are done as far as they can until they are shipped in.
Just to be clear about this so Sterling (or me) doesn't get the blame. I was asked to sell interiors for the cases and I refused for the time being because we are heavily backordered on cases. I recommended that they call Sterling and order the low end cases from them which are using my JB Case interiors.
Apparently they did. But as I found out the other day Sterling is completely out of the lower priced cases which have my new interior.
Sterling will not be getting new ones until around the end of September at best.
My suggestion to Chaz and company is to take progress pictures and give them to their customers to reassure them. Also not that Chaz needs any more business right now but putting those images on here would go a long way towards showing the world that he is doing something.
For my part I am doing my best to get the new order for Sterling cases done. For all the other case makers and aspiring case makers reading this I will include some uncovered interiors in the shipment if I can so that they will be ready to send from Charlotte.
jb i was in no way trying to say that you or sterling had any fault in this matter. i was simply saying that is the current ( at least for the last few weeks ) excuse as to why the cases are still unfinished. and as far as progress pictures go i have been asking chaz every other week when i call and talk to him to please send progress pics. i have yet to recieve a picture of my case. i do believe i saw a pic with felix on it though ( phinmole maybe)? This entire process has been littered with excuses since day one. First they had them all put together but then decided to switch leather. Then he remade them all and decided to use another dye. Then he decided to hand stitch them all. Then it was a month of we are waiting on the hardware because we didn't like how it looked when it was together or we decided to change the strap. At this point in time I would like to know how much of this was a real issue or was most of it a load of bull. The text i recieved from chaz yesterday is as follows VERBATIM: " Just waiting 4 the interiors 2 show up finally. Everythings as far as i can go without them. Supposed to be here this week finally." Now from what JB says it's going to be another 2 months at best.
Man..im glad I didnt get involved in this load of crap
this is the exact reason I wanted my money back. just had a really bad feeling. If something seems to good to be true, it usually is.
