I tried to believe in RAM for a long time, the same way that people tried to believe in SlikStik. Frizz was right then and is right now.
I put far more weight into his posts than yours, especially the bull about shipping to Canada -- read Subby's guide on cgcc (and note the part of pdoolittle's post about tracking on the CP website ... he is the first person, other than me, who seems to understand that).

As you should, I'm a nobody here, Frizzle is a somebody. Oddly enough I have a SlikStik cab and control panel, both arrived on time, and were and still are everything I wanted and more, just doesn't have that yoke option yet! Its a custom built CO2 and is still a hit when I host a party. I would love to install an led wiz and translucent buttons but the wiring in the CO2 is elaborate and neat, with dual rotaries and many extras, and I don't want to hack into it. (And that's why I referred to the GGG person as the "ledwiz" guy, I'd love to add that to my panel.)
As for refusing delivery because of brokerage fees, I've only done so in the most extreme cases. One case in point, I ordered relatively inexpensive cufflinks from a Canadian website, and they ended up shipping them from their US affiliate because that's where the stock was. Actually I ordered 4 sets, 3 shipped from Montreal, the other from the US. The brokerage fees on the set shipped from the US was as much as the item ($50 brokerage on $50 cufflinks, while the other 3 sets shipped from Montreal and I paid no brokerage). This was a company that should have known better and they agreed. They ended up refunding my money for the 1 set, and I agreed to pay the brokerage. Also this was a case where the UPS guy agreed with me the brokerage fee was probably an error given the declared value of the item, but that never got resolved.
TPB:
Delgar is entitled to purchase from RAM if he so chooses. Not that it's something I'd recommend. But it remains his decision.
As Lew states, he shouldn't feel intimidated about ordering from RAM. He should feel free to discuss his experience (should RAM accept his order), good or bad. And indeed, we should welcome his discussion of his experience, as it's valuable feedback on the current viability of this delinquent and shady vendor.
Who knows, if RAM keeps its head above water by honouring its current schedule of orders, perhaps there's a chance they'll share a portion of their profits with the folks they've ripped off, whose money they shamelessly took for goods never sent. Perhaps that poor bugger in Oz who pre-paid a couple of grand for a Star Wars Cab, will end up getting back a little loose change.
But that's probably wishful thinking. Going on RAM's unsavoury track record, they're unlikely to give a solitary dime back to these folks, even as they keep raking in the profits themselves.

And there we have the dream that RAM is using to keep their scam going.

And the reality of the situation.
The sad part is that you guys know *exactly* what is happening, and you are still willing to help these people ripoff your friends. And that's not hyperbole. You know that Dave owes ripped off customers, suppliers, and partners to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. You know that Jim/Dan came here and lied to your face. When confronted with those lies, he "came clean" with more lies, and then "really came clean" with yet more lies. You know for a fact that Adam/Dave is *still getting paid* from this scam, while his victims are not.
I'm sorry for calling names, but there is no other way to put it. Anyone who has read these threads and still does business with these scumbags is selfish and stupid.

A little update, "Jan Judd" is either Errol Mihalik's sister or a pseudonym for his sister. "Jan Judd" is Adam's wife, who operates a business entitled "Home Bound Mom", who's domain was registered by RAM controls.
Same game, different victims. This time it's mom's shopping online for their kids....

How are these people not in jail?
