Glad it worked out well for you... Note: I believe internet law states that merchandise ordered via by internet must be shipped within 30 days of the order being processed / paid for etc. And that, is there requires more time > a communication of some sorts stating the same. +/- 30 days seems valid. The 'free hat'? Critical issue? The apology is the key factor. Complaints? If you enter into business > you are destined to have complaints from this so-called Society. Look at us as Vets alone. Valid complaints would / should yield appropriate legal action by those in authority. Others get explained to, or overlooked by, by those same authorities. BBB is great... Howvever not obligatory > and it costs money > thus raising prices to the end-customer. Let's give US Vets a break eh! We deserve it... and the data you provided states clearly that Dale Sutcliffe is not only trying to do something good; but also, is fairly successful in doing so. :-) Gregg Ok…

After sending the email via their support site and calling two separate phone numbers that I tracked down (had to leave messages), someone called back, apologized and said they were really busy with all the holiday orders as well as one of the items being on back order because of it being an xxl size (if that was the case, they should have mentioned that when the order was placed.) Oh, and he said they were including a free hat because of the delay (which was supposed to be thrown in at the time of order due to the amount spent.) Sorry, I've already thrown away all the papers containing all the research I did (physical address- a little multi suite office building; phone numbers; company owners home phone and address; incorporation records; etc...) The guy that owns the company is also listed as the president for company (same physical address as vetfriends) called Virtual Fitness Coach. Their website lists his bio as follows: "Dale Sutcliffe, President Dale Sutcliffe gained extensive executive and marketing experience in building www.VetFriends.com, the most popular web site in the U.S. for reuniting military veterans and networking veteran-owned businesses. Launched in 2000, VetFriends.com has received over 10,000,000 visitors with nearly 1,000,000 enrolled members. The company’s web site is ranked in the top 5% of the most visited U.S. web sites. A veteran of the U.S. Marines, Dale earned a degree from the University of California, San Diego, and has consulted to Akamai Technologies during the largest IPO ever and to Fidelity Investments in Boston." I also did some checking in So. Carolina (where they are located) and found that VetFriends has a D+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, which they are not a member of. There were a total eleven complaints to the BBB about Vetfriends and I believe all of them had been settled. If I didn't get action at the level I did, I was prepared to increase my pressure by calling the owner at home, sending him correspondence or contacting his other business to get some action... Little increasing steps, but done professionally until I received some answers. Best of luck guys. Oh, I just realized I do have a name and phone number from some email strings, maybe it will help.
