Perhaps as a word of reassurance, this is not unheard of with him - someone in one of my faire communities was asking about boots, and Sandlar was reccmended. I chimed in with "Yeah, the boots are great, but he's a bitch to get a hold of if you have any issues" (put a little nicer than that). Another guy chimed in with an eerily similar story to yours - he sent his boots in for repair, and hasn't seen/heard from them in months.
In extraordinarily grudging defense of Simon, he did tell me that he's been having some serious problems this year, has had to move his business to Florida, and-- I think this is what he was saying-- has had his calls screened without his knowledge. So yes, I understand there've been problems.
But this wasn't the first time I'd heard of problems with him, of course. Sigh. Tell your friend to keep trying. Tell him to call the BARF office.
dont feel bad, I havent heard from Lars yet about this wench in limbo for 13 months either. she's a loudmouth one too, prone to complaining loudly in public about this fact....it's NOT pretty.
I hope you get your boots back!! they are worth hunting him down for!!!!
Y'know, she needs to call him. It annoys the hell out of him when people wait a YEAR, then say, "But why haven't you sent it?" Sigh. But you know this.
