Double check the dates of the posts; not sure if you saw that this thread was from fall of 2017. Don was top-notch until either last Christmas season or the one prior (2016)--getting older makes all the years blend together, lol. At any rate, the very first negative review was a customer who ordered early model year Vaders, and they took forever to ship to Florida and the customer wasn't happy with the quality. Of course, he had such a good reputation up to that point, it seemed like this was a combination of an isolated case and a guy who was expecting Grom quality for Chinese prices. But then, it seemed everyone was getting screwed on shipping times, and then ordered bikes taking seemingly weeks/months to get, or NOT get, and the runaround with refunds. He had such a solid reputation around here for so long, but it all started to unravel. Not sure if as I recall someone reporting that his business was some kind of front for the 'Dixie mafia' or he was involved in money laundering or something, but his reputation was shot, including your relevant recent post.
