I work not too far from Brewery Creek Boat Shop and will be in the vicinity on on Thursday, May 02/02. I will print up the history of this postings - should I get your permission to do so and drop the lot off at the shop. I too believe that this chap is probably out of town at present as I've always found him quite reasonable in his business ethic. However, as someone stated before, you've lost money, and not a small amount at that. Please post a reponse to this asap letting me know whether you would like me to drop off the printed results.

: Has anyone else on this board had problems with Brewery Creek Boat Shop in
: Vancouver? This is a serious question related to a bad experience of mine
: with this company. In September 2001, after some email conversations with
: the owner (Robert Morris), I mailed money for a materials kit and shipping
: to a total of $931. The cheque was received and cashed. When the kit had
: not arrived by Christmas and I had heard nothing more, I sent a registered
: letter requesting a refund. This was also received and signed for, but
: there has been no reply to date. Phone messages and emails over several
: months also remain unanswered. I am very frustrated over all this, but
: have learned that unless this has happened to a few other people, I have
: little legal redress. If this is not an isolated incident, there is the
: potential for a fraud investigation, otherwise I am limited to a civil
: action that would cost me (at almost a continent’s distance) too much
: money to initiate. If this has happened to others, I would like very much
: to hear from you. Please email me directly. I am angry not just because of
: the money, which, as a retiree, I can ill afford, but for the rotten
: feeling of being cheated by a boatbuilder. I have had such great
: experiences with many other people connected to this interest and this
: board, all honest, generous with time and advice, that it sits very badly
: with me about this one company.
