What happened to me:
I ordered (5) WD-11 reproduction tubes from him for the sum of $150.
He sent me tubes not as I ordered with globs of glue on the outside of tubes with one broken. I returned them to him. I did not hear back from him for awhile.
He claimed that the package I sent back was never delivered. Lucky I had it insured and could prove it was attempted to be delivered to him thru tracing. So finally he admitted he received them.
After waiting a few weeks, I emailed Turner asking when he was going to send the replacement tubes. He emailed me back 12/04/08 and said said he sent the tubes to me insured weeks earlier. I immediately wrote him back and I asked him for the insurance receipt number on 12/04/08. He did not answer my emails. I then called him 12/08/08 and he told me that he threw away the receipt. This is not believable that he would throw it away immediately after he told me about it being insured.
He has told me many lies in dealing with him.
This is why I write this to warn others about dealing with him. I intend to to take this to court.
This is Mr. 100% satisfaction Bill Turner. yeah, right.
If you have had any bad dealing with Bill Turner, please let me know. You be careful.
