tk48911[TK] Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 You guys are EXTREMELY fortunate you even received your purchases from them! Ordered my baton on 4/27 and the shield a week later...status says shipped, no tracking...no communication. I've since filed claims w/PayPal...too bad because I was really looking forward to the baton too...ended up ordering shield from a different seller now...

tk48911[TK] Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Taking about terrible customer service... I've emailed and Facebook messaged Alder (the owner), Ching and Jacob about my order and no one has replied back to me. I called their store a few times and left messages and no replies. Finally someone answered the phone and I asked about my order and the guy basically said it wasn't his problem and to talk with Adler. This guy said he was busy in a meeting and couldn't really talk to me and that he was a just a guy that worked in a kiosk. I'm waiting to see if i get any follow-up messages from Blu-bin. Francis TK88001 I've spoken w/Jacob and Ching as well...Jacob is the fracker who "sold" me this stuff. Messaged Alder as well...nothing...pure shucks bag. I've even spoke w/Jacob twice on the phone...pretty much just all lies at this point. I couldn't take it anymore and filed claims w/PayPal last week...if Blu-Bin doesn't respond to PP by 7/5...money's refunded to me. I've since ordered a new shield from a different seller...trying to find another baton seller now...

Dekard[501st] Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I just purchased one of these from another member, watching this as this will be one of my first projects for my TFA TK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk48911[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 so I finally got my baton/shield yesterday...well they weren't assembled as I paid for...haha of course not! However, I can attest the plastic is very sturdy/thick..however, since there are no instructions...i don't think anything's missing from the baton..I already saw my shield only had 2 corner posts instead of 4 and didn't have the plate/strapping for the inside. For the baton, how many metal slats should have come w/it? From your pics I found the model, and found them on Home Depot...no biggie if I have to buy some more I guess...but was curious...thanks for the build thread, def gonna be using it!

Yeah I guess I got really lucky with all this bs they are causing. Probably cause I was an early orderer and they weren't completely overwhelmed. As for the metal strips, you will need 10. But I'd have a few extra incase you break or bend them too much. I had to use a hammer quite often to straighten them out when they failed to slide in the slits properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk48911[TK] Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 so i'm almost at the point where I'd install the LEDs...my kit didn't come w/any so I'd have to order...do you have the model number of what was given to you by chance? Also debating if i want to do the wiring, might need a buddy to help me...but at this point i have everything either primed or painted...finally got all slats cut/sized right...may need to cut some of the plexiglass strips...but pretty close to the end now!

Nice! No I don't but they look like any standard size LED to me. The small amount of room you have to fit the wires in makes this tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
