Avoid Rafter S Gunleather.com - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I know we have many shooters here and someone here once recommended Rafter S Gunleather for affordable and high quality holsters, belts and such. I've actually ordered a belt and several holsters from Rafter S over the last few years. It's been fantastic stuff and they have always been really slow to deliver stuff. If they said it's in stock, it shows up in 4-8 weeks. If they said it would be 8 weeks, it gets here in 14 weeks, etc. I've sent friends there, made several orders myself, and generally liked their products.

November of last year I contacted Della about having a couple pancake style holsters made. She said it was no problem and would be the same price as the regular holsters. We exchanged a few emails and she said to call her cell phone to finalize the order. No problem. I was going to give her a credit card number but she asked for a personal check (and being a small buisness, it saves them fees so I didn't think much of it). I mailed the check and it was cashed 12/31/10. I've called, I've emailed, I've called again. I got her on the phone once, she said "I'll have to look that up and call ya back"...riiiiight. Never spoke to her again. Never had her return an email, nothing. I was always pleasant, offered to let her send me the standard holsters if it was easier. "Hope you're having a great week", etc (no "where's my stuff bitch??"). I've filed with the BBB and she never responded to the complaint, I filed with the MO attorney general office, no results. I even filed with the US postal service for mail fraud...nothing. I have copies of the cancelled check and all correspondence with those agencies if I need it.

It appears that I'm not going to be receiving my holsters or my $107.75 back. So, pass it around to your friends. DO NOT send Della Schafer any orders, money or business. And, if anyone has any ideas how to deal with a mail order company that runs off with your cash (which is illegal, but only if you can do something about it)...I'm all ears.
