Bumper, thank you for the thread,

Gary Brommeland e-mailed me on the 20th of Dec. 2006
I received your order today. We are running approximately 12 - 16 weeks on deliveries at this time...
My check was cashed out at that time.

5 months later 22nd of May when my gear was due - actually it was already 1-2 months late - I politely asked him in an e-mail about my order, response was:
Your order is coming up now, and I should be shipping it to you in 2-3 weeks. I will be sure and send you an email when it is on the way.

22nd of June an other inquiry from me and an other polite response from Gary Brommeland:
With regards to your specific order, your holster has been started and will be completed early this week. The belt will be done later next week, or perhaps early the following week. We should be shipping them both in 10 days to 2 weeks.

16th of Jul at this point 3-4 months late I received that email from him what is also a sticky on the top of this page.
We estimate that all of the old orders will be out within 90 days, and each customer will be emailed or telephoned when their order ships so that they be looking for them.

Well it never came....others have been waiting for 1 1/2 year so I don't even have big hopes.

Should have been told us that the current back-log is well over a year, and most of us would be willing to wait happily just to receive his holster instead of treating his customers like this.
A quick search on other forums--->two-three years ago people went thru the same things, nothing have changed. He has a list of reasons a mile long...
I know he had health problems recently, hope he is all well now.

One of the very top holster makers made a comment in a similar thread of mine on a different forum: And I also know the difference between being 6 to 8 weeks behind and 1 year behind when quoting a customer (as do other responsible makers) and am not so inept as to mistake one for the other when looking at the work stacked up in front of me.

Sure enough I am not going to do business with him in the future.
