The Bull sincerely hopes that soon everyone with an outstanding order has it resolved to their satisfaction. At that point perhaps I can sleep a little better. Since the bad reports started coming in I have felt responsible for my reader’s pain because I recommended O.B.L. on this blog.

My order was placed with “Our Bandit Leather” in early May of 2006.

My order was received in late January of 2010.

I do not have exact dates, because I threw away all of the paperwork when my holster and magazine pouch finally arrived.

The one thing we have all ALWAYS agreed on is that Terry’s leather work ranks among the best in the Country. I personally had NO issue with either his workmanship or his business practices. Sadly, my experience seems to be in the minority and that is how this thread got started.

The problem is that – for whatever reason – Terry did not bother to inform anyone else of his health issues until forced into doing so by legal threats from customers who had been waiting for years in some cases. Even now more & more customers are coming forward with dated correspondence and canceled checks showing how they have been ripped off for hundreds of dollars. In most cases their calls, letters, and emails simply go without reply.

As much as anyone I know what it is to be disabled. In 2002 I found myself suddenly paralyzed from mid-chest on down – with NO warning. Just woke up like that one morning! Yet life went on and my responsibilities along with it. I have offered Terry an opportunity – which is STILL OPEN – to post here and clear up any disputes &/or confusion. That offer has gone unaccepted.

Frankly, I don’t see what other option the customers have other than filing legal action. If the state AG is involved the numbers of people effected must be higher than I thought.

Accept a new ‘promise’ (latest of 5 over past 2 yrs) of delivery of my order within 30 days “or” total refund of my money (all $291) within 30 days.

Much has changed in the past two years (including my 100% sevice connected disability now leaving me with ‘much less’ use of my legs) . . . so I opted for my money. And also because after ‘2 years’ of non-delivery (awaiting) on a 4 month order . . . Terry is ’still demanding’ another ‘month’.

It just ain’t of no use being wheelchair bound now much sooner than later.

Terry’s final remark (of course!) was he thought a refund was ‘best’ also as I probably wouldn’t appreciate it (his product/effort) anyway.

So ‘latest’ thru Ohio A/G . . . the ‘check’ is in the mail . . . ! Will post when/if it arrives.
