Subject: Pietenpol-List: Bad vibes from SiriusDear Pieters,Has anyone had any dealings with Sirius Aviation in the DFW area? My father-in-law is having a bad experience with them. He ordered a large bill ofmaterials from them (various sizes of 4130 tube, 4130 sheet, and aluminum sheet)about a month ago for his Hatz project. They told him large orders might takeup to a week for processing. He wrote them a check for over $1600. At the endof the first week, he tried calling and left a message. They did not call back so he called a couple more times the following week and made contact one afternoon. They told him some of the sheet materials were at another facilitygetting sheared. The next day, he found out his check had already cleared thebank. After another week, he left another message and got no call back. Finally this week (after getting quite frustrated with no communications from them), he tried their fax number and someone answered. They still claimed thesheet material was at the vendor getting sheared. Tomorrow will be ONE MONTH since the order was placed. It is obvious that they waited until his check cleared before they even started to fill the order. And they have not initiatedany communication at all to say the order was partially filled or some on back-order. Nothing. in fact, they seem to be avoiding his phone calls. He hasnow asked them to cancel the order and send his money back. He asked me to check with the Piet group and see if anyone else has had similar dealings withthem. Or worse, or better? He chose Sirius because of our proximity to theirfacility so we could go pick up the order and save shipping. Plus, their priceswere good when compared with Univair, Wicks, AS&S....the only cheaper was Dillsburg. Whenever and IF ever he gets his $$ back....Dillsburg will get hisbusiness from now on.Terry Bowdenph (254) 715-4773fax (254) 853-3805________________________________________________________________________________
