Zal's budget stick bonanza! UPDATE 11/11 CLOSED TILL CURRENT ORDERS ARE COMPLETE

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!!!

looks like its a lost cause again…

I think the point of making forum posts/criticism is gone now… file your paypal claims and see what happens cause this is not gonna go anywhere. You guys collectively trusted a guy with a track record of less than a year here with hundreds (possibly over 1k?) of dollars all at once and when the orders piled up he got overwhelmed. That’s not an excuse for him, but my point is that a bad situation with a predictable ending was created, and now he is not going to honor his end of the bargain; Try to get SRK admins involved and take other routes to getting your money back at this point.

Should he really be allowed to continue his business? :confused:

It’s instances like this where I like how they handle things over at neo-geo.com, they actively police their trading forum and use any and all means they have to prevent people from being ripped off.

I don’t get it. He came back and was extremely convincing in telling us he’d ship them. Why would he do that? If he was not planning to send this stuff, he would have just ignored the thread…it’s like he has multiple personality disorder or something…

Come on Zal…you showed me a picture of my sticks, and you said they were ready…please please please send them, no questions asked.

you still believe hes sending them, :shake::tdown:

Very convincing I thought for the longest time that shit just happens and his justified excuses were legit but that’s all they are excuses.

I’d have to go to work at 4:00 in the morning and be up the night before helping this dude get his sticks put together and tested till like 11-12, gave him a soldering iron, solder , wires , pcb’s, wire strippers, ties, food, soldered stuff for him(tell him to fasten the pcb and hot glue but he’s to lazy) since he couldn’t and before I knew him I bought a box that’s nonfunctional he said he’d fix 4 months ago still fucked up and gave him extra money just to help start his business that he fucked up instantly. Any help I’ve ever asked from him he doesn’t have time.

Maybe more phone calls, I’ve been trying plus I could give everybody his work number bring that crap to his work maybe he’ll send or give his refunds when his boss gets pissed at all the calls for him?

Work number would be great. Seems I can never reach him on his home #.

Can you imagine what Zal’s answering machine must sound like??!

beeeeep “You have, 72, unheard messages. All message, playback.” beeeep

“DUDE YOU *$#@ING $#%^ GIMME MY MONEY.”

“I’M COMING FOR YOU YOU $%@$.”

/etc

how about at midnight we all just start callin back to back. ill go first lol and he doesnt even owe me money…i just want to get everyone elses money back. i even took his number down earlier and gave him a call and nobody answered

Nah it went more like :
[back in november] “Hey Zal! i sent my pmt! hope to get my stick soon ^__^”
[back in december] “Hey Zal, are you ok ? we havent gotten any updates, “
Zal gives updates
[last month] " It’s ok Zal i dont want my refund just send the stick =]”
[this month] " ZAL! U $^#@ING #$@!% WHERE IS MY STICK!!”

Sherlock Homeboy in this piece…lol thank me later

Now this would be wash, or rinse?

neither, repeat.

good thing i didn’t order. Was tempted.

this thread should be stickied for epic fail

so sad to see such a great concept failing in such epic levels and also was about to order one :shake:

He’s gone to the post office to ship our sticks but he’s too busy to make a post about it???

Jesus. That literally doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. If I finally sent some items, I’d surely post about it and give tracking numbers to start calming people down.

Just got my stick, and it works great. Definitely happy with my purchase overall, although some more communication would have been nice. Either way, I got it and I love it. :tup:

i’m very jealous.
