And then nothing again. Then a carrier suddenly shows up at home and demands to have the (earlier unspecified amount for) customs and tax. And as a principle they NEVER give any change.
Sounds like here at home-the custom is the god...
Dit you checked the possibility that a company dont have to pay the tax when the import some items,
the company must pay only the tax if they sell something.

Gary,

I would appreciate an update on all outstanding orders. It's been over a week since your last update and I have not heard anything from you since August 2nd.

Thanks,
Joel

Hope you're right. I have email and PM in to Gary to settle one last thing. I'm guessing he's away for now...

@Gary


It's now about 10 weeks, i give my money out and the Oppo is not delivered. In the beginning you told 2-3 weeks.

In the mean time you don't answers my mails. I know about the problems but my patience is exhausted and i have to know now the exact delivery time!!!

Same sentiments here. It has been four months to the day for me (I was supposed to be one of the early adopters, along with Jim and J) and although I did initially receive my modded BDP-83 within a month, a firmware bug bricked it and I had to send it back. It's been three months since then ....

Unfortunately the reports about lack of communication from Gary continue on and on. If you consider asking your money back, be aware that Gary reacted angrily when I did this after waiting for many weeks for an ordered and paid modded Oppo and he barred me from ever doing business with him.

Gary,

You and I had a good transaction but there are a few folks on this board that can't say that. It's time you gave the people waiting for their Oppos the info they are asking for, or better yet their players. An accurate response on your part is now needed.

American Express credited back my payment because no product was delivered.

I assume you gave Gary enough time to refund the money himself and he refused to do so? Because I know from experience that chargebacks do come with costs (bankfee, in my case �17,50 per chargeback).
