This operation was recommended to me by another regular poster on the board. I was in the market for plate shoes. I ordered in mid-July, about a week later, I called because I hadn't received the order. Left a voice mail message and got a call back later that same afternoon. Ken told me that he had been at the NASO convention and was catching up on orders received. He told me that my order had been shipped in the last few days. When I got home later, I had received my order.

Guess I was lucky.....I will definitely use caution in dealing with him in the future.

The orders That I trouble with contained more than shoes. They were for shirts and pants and other stuff. Shoe only orders have always come in a week or 2. Ken still hasn't sent me any merchandice or my money back from the check that cleared my bank on July 26th. By all means, don't send him a check. He took my money and ran. He won't even take my calls any more--been callin every day now for 2 months.

I'd try an email to their credit company. ( I know you didn't use them, but it doesn't matter). Tell them you placed an order, and never got the goods.

It's worth a try, and it worked for me.

It sounds like what this guy did was commit mail fraud. I would leave him another message telling him that you will be contacting the police to report the theft and fraud, the postal service as they will pursue the mail fraud angle as well and the better business bureau in the state of California, unless he calls you back immediately and agrees to return all your money.

If he doesn't, follow through and get the authorities after him. He deserves it

Ken Reeves answered my call last night and promised me that my order would go out in the next couple of days when he gets his new warehouse set up. I hope that is true and he gets his stuff straightened out and makes a go of it. His prices are the best and he pays the shipping. If this works out I'll give him another chance. I know of others in my association that he has already shipped shoes to so maybe it'll end well.

I honestly think he's trying. It's just that he's overwhelmed, and not prepared for the amount of business he's recieved. No fraud whatsoever. He's just put the cart ahead of the horse, and is trying to play catchup. Very typical with startup internet businesses. Feast or famine.

Let us know what you think of the pants, when you get them. I'm sure that's the sticking point of your order.

I also believe he's trying. My only complaint is that he'd say he was sending it out today and it not come. My major problem was that another person who was in on the order kept hounding me rather nastily about it. I got one pair of pants from him at the start of high school baseball season and have not worn any of my other ones since. I have done a large number of games and these are still kicking. They are starting to turn a little pink now but I am still wearing them. I wash them every night and my wife says that I'm wearing out the washing machine. They have elastic all around the waist, which I like, and no rear pockets, which I didn't like at 1st but am used to now. I mentioned to Ken that I liked them and he told me that he'd send me another pair for my trouble. I also noticed that the material on the thighs was wrinkling but then I saw that was true on the one's that were worn by my partners that were more expensive. I like them and will continue to use them if I can get them.

I have no final report but am posting just to keep the thread going. After talking to Ken 2 weeks ago and him promising me that our stuff was going out in a couple days, It hasn't gone out yet. I have refunded my friend's money to him and am waiting for Ken to send me stuff or money back. I'll keep you posted as to what's happnin.

You have given this guy way to many chances already. If he said, two weeks ago, that you stuff was going out in a couple of days and you still haven't received it, he is scamming the pants off of you and you should take the steps I mentioned in my earlier post.

Nobody is that incompetent unless it is on purpose.

My stuff came Sat with some extras thrown in for my trouble. I wish Ken well and will order from him again as I feel he is getting his operation together. The shoes are a great deal-same as Honig's but much less money and no shipping charges.

WTF? You placed an order in July. You had to refund your friend's money. You received your goods 3 months later, and after the season was over.

But to save a couple of bucks, you're willing to go through this again?

I've got an idea. The next time you feel like ordering from this clod again, get a hammer and smack yourself upside the head until the idea passes. Much like ordering from this company, you'll feel much better when you stop.

LOL. Now I see how 'vendors' like this keep collecting the cabbage. :rolleyes:

This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read!

ROFLMFAO!!!!
