N Scale Kits (again.)

Asking the perennial question: Is N Scale Kits still in business?
5 weeks since placing an order with no confirmation or a reply to followup email.

I'll raise you four weeks: placed the 3rd of July. Eventually I will get sick of emailing for an update and fight through the refund process at PayPal.

He was at the N Scale Convention in Bethlehem, PA in June.  Looked like he had plenty of kits.

 I received one update from him that actually went to a few people.  After 3 emails sent months apart to allow time for response, I decided to go to PayPal and I got my money refunded.  I felt I was patient waiting but received no updates about anything.  I chose to use that money for other N Scale needs!

This is unfortunate. I liked all of his kits, and last time I purchased it came very quickly

I guess I'll give it some more time .I have 180 days for a Paypal refund.
I ordered 5 pkgs of the old Alan Curtis logging spine cars and will order another 10 or more if these ever show up.
(Yeah, big logging layout.)

Sadly, I had to do the same last year after 4-5 months.  Ghosted me so I felt I had no choice.

I have been wanting to order one of the NTTX spine cars and one of the NS conversions, but every time I decide to pull the trigger, another one of these threads comes up.   Hopefully he gets things squared away where he can communicate and deliver better.

I wish he would at least respond or update the website. I’d be in for some spine cars but I don’t wanna throw hard earned money away

Well, it's been three months. Long enough to wait for a deadbeat that has received numerous emails sent to three known addresses associated with his business. Refund claim filed.
On the plus side, a winter project will be building a master and learning to cast my own spine cars in pewter.

Same - got my money back the 28th after no responses; apparently PayPal never got a response either.

Most unfortunate.

Put me down for a few if your selling them.

Could be interested in some, as well.

As it goes with one-man operations, an illness or some other life priority can take everything offline and there's nobody else to field inquiries.
