About Allen Triplett

[ParLawGod]

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Al (and would not hesitate to do business with him again) so I sincerely hope that this gets corrected and cleared up ASAP.

Not trying to split hairs here but just wanted people to know they need to read the fine print and the fine print says last updated on August 2011.

I just think you used "Cached" incorrectly, hence the confusion. Cached means that the webpage is no longer there and it is being stored on another server....

That could be when I did a search through yahoo it did not bring up the website by name it brought it up through it's host site, hence my post.

[rodgeman]

I could not bring up the website in Chrome. I had to use Internet Explorer before it would come up.

Not that it makes much of a difference but the website hasn't worked in Chrome since the day it went up. I e-mailed Al about it the day the site appeared. I believe there was a note about on the site somewhere. I'm also waiting for nearly a year for a horn. (6/14) I admit to be being "frustrated" about the way things have gone; especially the lack of communication but at this point, since I've waited so long, I guess I can wait a little longer before "exploring other remedies". I've been in contact with other members about the situation via PM's as I didn't feel that it was appropriate or beneficial to anyone to get into verbal battles or speculation here.
And also, I must admit, a bit... Anyway, I've been encouraged by some of the members with whom I've communicated and believe this will be settled "soon".

Hello guys,

Al contacted me last week.
He is willing to send me the horn.
I will wait and see what happens.

Thanks again for all

Does this mean the situation has cleared up and he has received stock and is shipping horns?

Again: I have no part in anything related to this thread, only commenting as somebody having experienced problematic deals in the past.

If the above promise to deliver was done in writing or in an electronically traceable format, then the sum may be reclaimed via MasterCard, if that was the payment method. Possibly also via similar cards.

In one case I had an instrument built to me. The maker gave me a fixed deadline, which he blew at a point of time, where I could not get my money back via MasterCard. When I protested, he claimed another person in the organization had failed to stock certain fittings needed to finish the instrument. My suspicion was that they were cash strapped and dragged on ordering those fittings. But exactly that communication from the seller would allow me to cancel the deal via MasterCard. When I threatened to do so by a given date, the delivery came quite promptly.

I also have a pending order with Al. Has anyone heard anything new since this last May? I ordered a euphonium from him in August 2011 (and paid for it) and I am still waiting for it. I am willing to give him the opportunity to make it right, but I am just wondering if he is still working to get these orders filled. Any updates would be very helpful. Thank you.

[talleyrand]

Has anyone heard anything new since this last May?

Yes.

Really tempted to leave it at that.

But I'll go on to say that he is working on making it right. Unfortunately it is a deep hole. I myself have received partial satisfaction, as have others. Al had personal problems and in hindsight it looks like he didn't handle them in the ideal way. I believe he will get through it, but it is not going to be quick. Nevertheless, I do believe he is basically a man of integrity who has had to learn a thing or two the hard way.

Flaming me for saying this will do no good and will receive no response from me, so just save it.

[etgreece]

tallyrand, I am not in the business of "flaming" anyone. I appreciate the reply. Like others, I really do wish that Al would just reply or send out some information. Before I found this forum, I didn't know if he was a scammer or not. If you have more contact, I would really appreciate any form of reply. As I said before, I am willing to wait for him to get things straightened out.

Again, thanks for the info.
