Thank you very much for the kind words, my friend. Whenever I see Bryan’s name come up and people don’t have all of the information, I am more than happy to tell them of my experiences. I happened to be off from work today and it was pouring rain out, so I had the time to elaborate quite a bit. Like I said, I would never tell people not to deal with him but just beware and keep him on a very short leash. He proved that he could care less about anyone else so many times over and the HMK deal was nothing short of brutal on the people that were on the hook for masks. When you read through that thread, you even see him get an attitude when he was called out on his BS. He would defend himself and play the victim, all while he was lying through his teeth and victimizing people that put a great deal of faith in him. I hear you on going to jail. There were quite a few involved that were talking about making him pay up through legal methods or forceful methods. Personally, I am not violent, so that wasn’t even in my vocabulary as an option. However, it did put me and all of us through a great deal of crap. Some people waited closer to 3 years!!!
I agree 100% with the deposit thing and Chris’ policy was certainly fair. Another guy who had a great policy when I dealt with him was Jeff Death. You weren’t charged until your mask shipped!! Granted, those are like $50-$150 masks but I was so impressed by that. The problem is many of these guys want the money but don’t give a damn about the faces behind the orders. They feel you are their servants and just lucky to get a product from them when it is the other way around. They need to realize that they are lucky that we fork over all of this hard earned cash to allow them to make a living (or at least extra money) doing what they love.
