Re: ANY ONE ELSE, TROUBLE WITH COMMON SENSE BOATS????????
I am new to this board and this is my first post. I came here
because I am interested in building a power sharpie. I ordered CSB
catalog and my credit card was charged. I waited about two weeks
then emailed CSB. After 3 or 4 emails I got a short reply that the
catalog was in the mail. It never arrived. I have sent several more
emails and attemted to call to no avail.

Duane, I have a set of frames/bulkheads cut out and
assembled,for marine fir ply, for the long micro, from
a project that went awry--if you, or anyone else,
should want them, they are yours for the taking,
sitting in my garage in Sussex Co., Delaware (near
Ocean City, Md., if that helps). Sam

I particularly enjoy the part of the URL for the page indicating CSD is
‘temporarily indisposed’; it includes “lightsoutuser”, which is a
technical term indicating that it might be while before we see them again, I
think….

FWIW, lots of people go on vacation in
the summer, and check their email
remotely. Perhaps their website
shopping cart software allows them
or even forces them to proptly
charge the credit card.
And to not jump on the bash
Common Sense bandwagon, PF&F
have also been known to be
away from home 'gone sailing'
for weeks at a time.
All in all, I say buying plans
from PB&F is worth the extra $
because you get the opportunity
to ask them questions in the
deal.
Wow, another Micro builder!
Vote in the poll, we need
to beat out the Chebacco crowd.
At last check it is tied with 23 votes each!

There are at least several back messages here on similar themes. Duane, if you don't get
the plans in a day or two more, maybe it's best to contact your credit card company and
cancel the order.
You can also have the LM set with reliable follow up from PB&F

I personally have not done any deals since Bernie sold it, so I am of not much help - when I dealt with Bernie he was above board, easy to work with and customer satisfaction was his goal.
I buy from Dynamite for any Bolger stuff - I have not asked if he could get something he doesn't normally stock - hmmmmm, that might be worth investigating.
Sorry, I digress - send CSB a message, ask them why they answered your friends email on how to buy, but not yours on where your plans were - tell him your friend BCC'd you and that is how you know when he sent his email and when he got the reply. I would even go as far to include a CC to the state Attorney General in whichever state they are in now as well as the BBB online.
My two cents worth...
Bill

their sailboat), and would mail them, at the first post office they
got too........have not heard from them since, have not answered
emails, etc..........for a goof, I sent them another email from one
of my other email accounts, using a different name, to see if they
would answer a question, about a possible order.....they had no
problems answering this email, and told me how to place the order,

know , which has their site link on his website.....he had said, he

anyone, but its starting to seem like something is up here, and trust
