Shug,
He is has a sub forum here for organizational purposes only. Having a sub forum is no indication of Hammock Forums endorsing a vendor. There is a comment at the top of the vendor forums that states "These forums are not a seal of approval by Hammock Forums. The sub-forums are simply for organizational purposes"

People need to do their own research. This is what it says at the top of the Vendor area "These forums are not a seal of approval by Hammock Forums. The sub-forums are simply for organizational purposes"

The OP said he did his research. He obviously did not do any research here on this forum or he would have known it can be hit or miss from Brian.
IMO, Removing this vendor and all the posts on this forum would hurt new members researching gear not help them.

I did not receive any kind of receipt, order confirmation, or tracking number, which was supposed to come immediately, according to the website. This worried me a little, but I would just wait it out. So a week passes by and still nothing. I send Brian an email letting him know that I never received an order confirmation and was wondering if it actually went through to him or not. Of course, knowing the horror stories of OES customer service, I didn't expect anything back anytime soon. Another 2 weeks passes by. Nothing. No reply, and no receipt. I email him again, explaining that I understand that he may be busy, but if he could just email me back it would be greatly appreciated. I still haven't heard anything back from him. Does anybody have another way of contacting him? I knew his customer service is bad, but this seems borderline illegal. There have already been so many times I would have loved to gone backpacking with that tarp this summer.

Wait! You knew and still bought from him. Shame on you! I'm telling your mother!!!

But yes, dispute it ASAP...

Then perhaps there should be a buyer beware forum, just saying.
