After waiting almost six months for a USN 37J1 from another manufacturer, I was refunded my money via PayPal for lack of delivery. While perusing the Goodwear website, I saw that John Chapman’s 37J1 Test Sample was for sale. I jumped at it, even though it was a bit more expensive than the one...

Don’t preach to me like I’m you’re kid and it will be enough. Otherwise expect a response. Enough?

Not trying to change the world. But collectively we can change how these vendors operate. All it took was saying “I need more time”. But I get that you may not have the stomach for standing up for yourself. But when it comes to my money it’s my rules, not your rules or the vendors rules...

It’s not a zero sum game. But if you let people walk all over you, they will. I’m staying but I won’t put up with crap. Sounds like you will.

I see your point. However this is not my first go round. I have been a member here for some time (since March 2008) I just don’t post. I am also a member on a lot of other forums. I’ve been burned elsewhere. To be clear, I did not require constant updates from Jay. That’s not the way I...

We, in fact, received our refund today (08/17/19) from PayPal having been notified on 08/15/19 that the refund would be forthcoming. To be clear, the very day I opened a case through PayPal against Headwinds Mfg, Jason Hartley, Jay et al, was the day Jay contacted me to say my knits were in and...

Upgraded this to a PayPal claim.

Nothing yet...

Thank you for making that clear. I hope you are right, that Jay is a stand-up guy. One of the reasons I ordered form him was because he seemed to have good reviews here. If he refunds my money, I will proclaim that he is a stand-up guy for all here.

Not quite. I filed a case. Based on the case Jay, Jason Hartley, Headwinds Mfg. Et Al responded to me. I asked him for a refund. So far no refund. According to PayPal if the issue is not resolved, I can then file a claim. Resolution means either getting the jacket or getting the refund...

I am not pissed off at you. I just find it odd that you believe the customer has to jump through hoops to get in contact with a vendor after he has already put his hard earned money down and waited a long time. Furthermore, I have gone the extra mile to contact him, but the point is I...

Have I tried contacting him in the last few days? Why do I as the customer who’s paid in full have to jump through hoops to get him to be responsible? Shouldn’t the onus be on him? It is now going on six months and no jacket. His ebay listings, as far as I can tell, are for jackets that are...

That is indeed true. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. However there is no excuse for not answering emails, PMs, Facebook messages, website messages and the like. Moreover, this was not the first time it was hard to contact him. Give me a response and I’ll give you the benefit of...

I ordered a 37J1 jacket back in March of this year (2019) and still have not received my jacket. Via email in June, I was told he was waiting on knits. Recently I tried to contact Jason (Jay) with respect to my jacket’s status and have received no response. I tried to email him through his...

Just to let you all know, I got my Disney Merchant Marine patch and drawing from Jerome today. He included an extra patch featuring the United Seamens Service code flag and original style coloring which were featured in the original Disney rendering. The three of these will be framed with the...
