D B Couper Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 F.Y.I. Attended Alafia Mountain Men yesterday. Black Bear was not there. D.B. Couper
madPete Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I received a package from Black Bear today with my order placed in early October. Inside was a receipt with a typed statement that they have had tough times. illness, accidents etc... It took them nearly 4 months to deliver product. They answered my 1st phone call in late November when I expressed my concern that it would not arrive in time for FTPI. He promised my order would go out that week. After that, every single effort to communicate with them was ignored. emails, phone calls, even a PayPal complaint was ignored. Only when Dutchman held their attendance at Blackbeard as leverage, did I receive my order. Hopefully others here on the board receive theirs as well. To be fair, I have purchased online from them in the past and been pleased with their work. I feel for their misfortunes, but a little truthful communication would have gone a long way. There was none. Whether you choose to purchase goods from this sutler is entirely up to your judgement. mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
KingsForge Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Sad to hear that this goes on with sutlers at all. Time should always be set upon making an order for any custom work and contact should be made when you go past your due date. We all have things that come up from time to time to delay our work but ignoring a customer in this day in age...well I won't go there. I have run late on work myself before and always try to get out a note or make a call to let a person know of a delay, rare to happen but it happens. I hope all your issues are resolved soon mates Will King Kings Forge and Muzzleloading
Silver Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 i have not received my order yet. i have talked to him on the phone several times in the last few weeks and sent him a e-mail that he requested. he says he is trying to recover from a bad stretch of misfortunes and promises to fill all orders from that period.
Dutchman Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hold fast shipmates! two more orders received from Blackbear. It looks like progress is being made.
Silver Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 i have a strain on it! i have just been promised a delivery date.
Silver Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 i'm sure i will be receiving my long awaited order in the next day or two as promised by BLACK BEAR HISTORICAL CLOTHING!!!
Silver Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Another Rick Blizard promise unkept!!!!! I DID NOT receive my order and I tried to contact him. He will not answer my phone calls. I am wasting my time thinking I am going to get my clothing.
Dutchman Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 damnation. Silver, I'm sorry this is going on. I was really hoping this would all get straightened out. thankyou for keeping us all posted. how is everyone else doing with this?
Silver Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 February 20th i talked to him on the phone, he said that he just needed to pick it up friday and asked that i send an e-mail as a reminder, which i did. waited half of next week and nothing, so i called him again, the excuse was he didn't have the correct color of material and would have to get some. so i'm on hold again.
Silver Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 Shipmates here are some friends who have the weather gage of Rick and Linda Blizard of Black Bear Historical Clothing. I'll try to link them in for you if it dosen't work they are at "frontierfolks.net" trading post thread. they don't mind sharing their thoughts! htt://frontierfolk.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=&t=46465
Dutchman Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 on the phone as I type...................... standing by to stand by.
Silver Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 WHAT FRESH HELL HAS BLACK BEAR PUT INTO MY LIFE NOW? Who ordered Black Bear's old style (exactly just like the one pictured on his website) purplish 1740's French and Indian War Linen Waistcoat with square 3/4" pewter buttons? I HAVE IT!!! I have looked at this thing from many different angles and no way in HELL could this be mistaken for The Navy Blue Linen Tradesman Waistcoat that I ordered. I would swear he had just ripped it off the mannequin and threw in the box and sent it to me.
D.man Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 you know i wish i would have read this Topic earlier, i have ordered a 1730 Red Waistcoat Duck Back in May and i havent heard anything From Blackbear Clothing as well. I sent an email and got nothing. i have bought stuff there before with no problems and now this. > Dutchman could you give me a hand on this issue. D.man
D.man Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 ok i've heard nothing from Black Bear Clothing i might have to take this ferther.
