I'll be more than happy to share my full experience with Donnie. It all starts with me trying to a roll around 18x21 single phase quartz Flash Tec flash from him. I was told by many people who have those flashes that they were very good quality and comparable to M&R quartz flashes.
This might be airing some dirty laundry but I'm going to put out all the facts. Here is a detailed timeline of my near 6 month long communication (or lack there of) with Donnie.
March 28th Invoiced for Flash. To be Shipped IMMEDIATELY
April 5th Email Still Waiting For Shipping (Supposed to ship next week)
April 12th Email Still Waiting For Shipping (Supposed to ship next week)
April 19th Email Still Waiting For Shipping (Supposed to ship next week)
Donnie Goes AWOL for a bit..
June 11th Donnie finally emails back and re-verifies the Phase of Flash
June 13th (Thursday) Says it will be HAND DELIVERED the following Monday
June 17th No Call No Show, Emailed. Called he said he would delivery it that friday (21st)
June 21st No Call No Show, Won't answer calls, or emails.
Donnie goes AWOL again
Between June 21st and July I called him probably 4 times a day never getting an answer. Finally his Daughter Answers I leave a message with her
July 3rd I email Donnie AGAIN to determine the status of my order. Donnie's daughter replies saying flash will be delivered next week He was out of town and will be back in town Saturday.- I replied asking to know a specific delivery date - No reply.
July 8th I email them essentially saying they have a strict deadline of July 10th ti have it to me. If they can't deliver it by then the deal is officially terminated. - No Response.
July 10th I email to confirm the lack of response and delivery of flash unit for accountability purposes. THIS EMAIL he actually responds to, His response: "I'm in California we do have a flash for you I have been a little behind but I will get it to you along with extra bulbs if you still want it let me know"
Needless to say my response was "No I do not still want it" and I went on to explain to him exactly why I no longer could trust a word he says let alone how i could not bring myself to do business with a person like that. The last line of that email was "If that's not a clear enough answer let me reword it. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STILL WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU OR YOUR COMPANY."
Aug 9th (completely I receive a completely unsolicited email from Donnie)
"I know that I need to send you a flash . I have been out of town trying to build my company back up I did not mean to leave you on the back burner . I would like to make this right
Thanks Donnie
Sent from my iPhone"
I did not reply.
Aug 18th I receive an MMS (emailed) from Donnie asking me to call him. I replied via text "We have nothing to discuss"
