So its up to him now. I am leaving the claim open. He can refund what I am owed or he can let me keep it I dont care. Im tired of being the one worried about it.


Hey!

Finally some (mostly) good news!

At least you got the majority of your stuff.

As for the rest... Good luck - hopefully we won't all be joining the long line of creditors.

IF I can get the majority of what I'm owed, I'm inclined to let the rest slide and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

I thought you got around the same % of what you ordered?

Or wait, was it 75% was *missing*??

At this point, I'm missing around 25% of my last order.

If I manage to get most of the missing stuff, I'm thinking about considering myself lucky and letting the rest slide.

I will NOT let the entire currently missing 25% slide though.

I'm giving him just a few more days, and then it is time to get the credit card company involved.

I see. Well, good luck then. Hopefully you get all of your stuff. I know I am not because he told me on the phone (probably shouldve said this earlier), he said a lot of orders werent complete when he closed his GWS account and he is just sending out what he has of orders.

I am willing to bet big money that is why you have most of yours but not all.

Sorry, I didnt realize I had not mentioned that till now.

EDIT: This is why I am leaving the claim open. He needs to refund what he knows he owes.

Agreed.

If you are a good friend and a 'high roller' with the company, the best use of your services for us left holding the bag would be to get him to actually communicate, follow through and SHIP product.

I honestly do NOT know what has happened with Gorilla Tactics. I've just been purchasing from them.
He was one of my suppliers, i have others though.
They were just my main.

Do i know if he will pull through or not? I do not know the answer.


i just hope he pulls out even with the trouble.

I don't know the reasons why GT went down however.

He has a phone number, and email - i'll pull it up for you guys when i get it.


Please read my full post - I just came home right now.

When i mentioned him as a friend - meant someone i know. He is not someone who've i met personally, as i do not live in Michigan.

My point is that I have dealt with GT - and he has been my supplier - he has also supplied a few others. Hes also been associated with a ton of other people. He owns a local gaming store.

40kRadio was friends with him too. Tau Online as well. He was even on your own site. On ebay. Many other places OK.

I'll try to talk to him too, he owes me items as equal as anyone else.

Somewhere in south-central England.

This thread is in danger of going off topic again.

I appreciate that individuals have opinions and information in support or against GT, however, the purpose of the thread is to allow actual customers to give information about their packages. That was made clear by Iorek on the previous page. I will be deleting some OT postings to keep things on topic.

If I delete your post, don't take it personally. It is just because we need to keep the thread right on topic for the sake of customers and GT themselves.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Here I am.

So I have not read this thread, but I have heard some things from phone calls.

I will sum it up for everybody and we can go from there.

In fact GTGU is not going out of business.

I - the owner operator have only worked 3 days in about the last 20 days.
without telling my entire life story - imagine the living example of the sayings "when it rains it pours" "bad things happen to good people" "Murphy’s law" "If it wasn’t for bad luck id have no luck at all" and "the domino or snowball effect"

Two of the major issues that have plagued me lately are that my wife was involved in an auto accident when another driver decided to look right and turn left, then pulled out straight into her (no injuries to her luckily) . 2 days later I was in a separate auto accident in a different vehicle when some 16 year old kid decided that the light wasn’t red and all the cars in front of him weren’t stopped there and drove full sped into the back of us. (injuries to me and friends).
I have more to tell, but I will probably write a book about the others things i been dealing with.

Since the lapse of being able to work we have not obtained any new shipments - all though we have tied down most things with manufacturers and suppliers.

Getting to the resolution and what a customer should care about and what you can do.

If you have an pending order with us, It is probably in this pile of 20 something boxes right behind me in my basement here. I will be shipping them all Monday morning. If we do not have an item of yours we will have to refund the difference to you in the upcoming week.

We also have designated about $18,000 worth of inventory to an liquidation effort.

the liquidation will start this SUNDAY and you can call in from 11am - 7pm (if there is no answer, try again in 10 minutes or email me to call you for your order)

the sales of these items will start at 35% off and climb to as much as 45% off depending on the item types and the amount that you buy (its a negotiation pretty much, but there will be a standard to operating procedure)

Payments can be done as normal

Shipping will be done via usps and will be charged with actual cost.

this is our initial step towards resolution of our current issues, and afterward things such as inventory sales to other stores or business owners and maybe even online auction sites will be explored.

and lastly, please do not create a paypal claim, it actually makes it more dificult for me to help fix anything because paypal "holds funds" and then if you want a refund, we have to wait for them to release the funds to actually make the refund. I just need you to give me your trust on this one.

To speak about your order, or to participate in the inventory liquidation please contact me here:

SATURDAY: 734-217-2677
SUNDAY: 734-418-2817 (or number above)
MONDAY: 734-217-2677

you can call anytime from 9am to 11pm eastern. Leave messages or try to email with your number and I will call you back ASAP.

please email or call - I wont be coming onto the forum to regularly in the near future.

Thank you to everybody that has given support to us in the past couple of weeks, we deffinetly needed it and it was greatly appreciated.

11 AM - 7 PM EST? Anyway to get a preview of what is available in the liquidation?

Liquidation will be:

anything on hand from

GAMES WORKSHOP
WoW Minis
MAGIC CARDS
Warmachine / Hordes
windsor & newton brush'
supplies-paint-glue-templates & such
board games
and more.
it is ANYTHING ON HAND pretty much, there are only a few items we kept out of liquidation.

I also have taken a personal responsability approach and I will be listing some things on craigslist. my basically brand new xbox 360, a cannon 20d camera, a ton of my models that I have collected, most of which are new - some painted very well. I decided that will help things move quicker.

Is there a list anywhere of liquidation stuff, or should we just prepare "wishlists" and see what you have? I might be interested in placing an order, I just don't' want to waste your time.

If you can just explain the procedure for how it would be best to get in on this, I'd appreciate it!

oh sorry, that is what i ment - and good word!

yes, please make a wish list - and call in to see if it is there. first come first serve basically and remember the intent is to move it all at a price hat makes you happy and use the cash to get things back on track.

it will be very easy for me to quickly say all the "space marine items" on hand - or if you say " I want terminators, a rhino, a chaplin, and some glue" i will say somthing like " got all that, but sorry chaplins are gone" for example.

it will be rather easy actually. but yes, do make a wishlist and call tomorrow 11am -7pm eastern

Well it seems like I was the first to call GTGU on the liquidation and all that.

Most of the stuff is already gone so I highly suggest the rest of you interested CALL instead of awaiting on an email response to your wish list.

So I have sent an email and called a couple of times with no response....


I sent the email yesterday with a list..


Is it over already?

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

I don't know but they probably not looking at emails. Guy said to call in, so if you didn't call you that would not be a good idea.
However I do know that a lot of the inventory was sold already and that they were also selling stuff to people that were going to the actual store to buy (they probably were the ones who took up most of the good stuff).

They are doing it again tomm and tuesday i think so you can still cash in on what's left.
