I don't understand why people are defending this guy. I have had $160 deducted from my account and no communication of any sort since. As far as I am concerned this money has been stolen and I plan to take measures to get it back
That's strange...can't figure that one out ! There's nothing to gain by doing that...just the headaches and trouble it brings when someone goes after him. I've heard on a couple of occasions that people have ordered and received nothing and disputed it with their CC company or PayPal but I've had no problem (other than Ryan not returning emails) and have ordered several things from him. My "defense" of him is solely based on my experience and the fact I haven't had any issues other than it taking time to make contact with him. I made it policy when buying from AST that I DON'T buy from him until I make contact with him...I want to make sure I have his attention. That policy has worked out well so far.
I've had no issues and can't speak for anyone else BUT me so I'm sorry to hear that you were "stiffed" by him...hope it all works out.
