How I got ripped off by Monolith Loudspeakers

Not open for further replies.
This is beginning to bum me out. I placed an order for the Magma at the end of January and still haven't received it. I braced myself for some probable waiting since it is just one dude doing all this, but the lack of communication on his part is disheartening. I'm hoping this all gets sorted out and everyone gets what they ordered eventually.
 
I ordered custom fuzz box last year. After waiting for 3 or 4 months and hearing that it's almost done each week, I asked for a refund. Luckily I got it, I had to pay PP fees though :/
 
I think I payed directly with my VISA but I'm not a hundred per cent sure...is there a limit of time to open a dispute?

If a transaction has not been completed credit card companies will assist you in recovering your funds.

This is why it's best to pay internet transactions by credit card if you can.
 
Sorry for taking so long to reply guys, but my last post was around 2am and wanted to wait until the morning to check some things with PayPal. Apparently the VISA guys opened a PayPal dispute for me and the guy I spoke with has told me that the payment has been cancelled. Now I just have to wait...

PS: I really wanna thank you guys for all the support and help, Specially Lazarus.bird!
 
I really hope everything gets resolved for you guys, I've always sort of wanted the Magma from them too but the price was a little rich for me. I'd like to hear that he takes care of you so I can go back to daydreaming about getting a Magma (pedal form) some day.
 
I just read this whole thread and it sounds like Dr Bass all over again. Doesn't respond to emails, no product, seems like a nice guy, "personal issues". Good luck to you guys.
 
I think folks should stay away from loaded analogies like Dr.bass or Darrin huff....those only cloud peoples judgement and thinking.... The truth is its a monolith thing only. Ive spent a good amount of time talking with Wade, and in the interest of disclosure I do have a magma, a number of bad situations do seem to have conspired to make a perfect storm of ****ed upedness for wade all about the same time. from my dealings I truly believe he is an earnest and sincere fella who is genuinely trying to right things one at a time as a one man show...I know of some who havent had the luck I have....my vote is give it time...and good luck to all...
