Hi Everybody
last year I ordered and payed for a Superfly. Mr Goff and I swapped a couple of emails and worked out postage to Australia and the deal was struck. I asked for an invoice as at the time the exchange rate was good and voila the deal was done. Mr Goff told me that lead time on the kite was 5 weeks. Cool. It is now close to 6 months from the date I ordered and payed for the kite. I have had patchy responses to my emails from Mr Goff. Most have gone unanswered. He has also answered a few. These have been apologetic about the delay but have have assured me that because of various hold ups, sewing machine problems supply issues and the need to make sure the design is right, he is " getting there". Recently I watched the thread on getting in touch with Mr Goff. I sent him an email to enlighten him about this, mainly to ensure MY kite would eventually arrive. I make no bones about it I want my kite, self interest is the real topic here. I have also received an email from Mr Goff saying "your kite will be on its way on or before the 21st of March". I sent an email asking if my kite was on its way or not. No reply. I have PMed another forum user and he had a similar story. So I am not the only one who has this story to tell.
So WTF is happening. I see a couple of the kites on vids and "Vee" has a proto but it seems that is that. The reason I am posting this is because I have no response from Mr Goff, his promises have amounted to FA and I have been ignored. Pretty easy to see why I am pissed off with Mr Goff. I really do not know if posting this as a forum topic is an appropriate way to approach this situation but I feel any body who may want to have business dealings with Mr Goff should be aware of this situation.
