Any current info on GJ?

[SkinnyWire]

I gave GJ the go-ahead on a Pro Forma Invoice on 24 Aug and no parts, no replies/contact, etc., since. No option to leave voice mail either - just says "we aren't available ... call back".

Anyway, if someone knows what might be going on with Pat and Eric I'd appreciate the info. Anyone ever order parts straight from WSC?

[Norcal_GIT_r]

I'm waiting to hear back from Pat also.
He's always very quick with my orders.
I suspect he's been effected by the LA fires, if so lets wish him the best.

[SkinnyWire]

Let's hope they're okay. I thought that might be the case, so I looked up the location on Google Earth. There's a street view, and I doubt the storefront is/was affected. Hopefully, their homes are okay too.

[Peter Naglitsch]

The fires are one thing and I really hope that hes not affected. But I have a order pending now for TWO friggin months!!! I have tried to reach Pat, sending him e-mails for the last four weeks without any response at all. What the is really wrong with that guy. He said one item were temporarily out of stock, should be in in two to three weeks, I ask him to hold the order and ship only when he can ship a complete order, he takes my money and then nothing... Luckily I paid him through PayPal this time and I'm seriously considering contacting PayPal about this just to put some pressure on him. I don't necessarily need the part right now, but I would think that it is a minimum of politeness to at last answer my mails and tell me that "sorry, but I'm still missing one item, is it OK to wait another two week". But I get a big fat nuthin from him.

And no, my first couple of e-mails were very polite and not very upset at all...

Yep. I've always had good service from them going back to when Alex was running things. Ever now and again they seem to drop off the map for a week or two - normally associated with NAMM or something like that. This time, I sent in an order on 23 Aug and Eric sent the Invoice on the 24th. I told him it looked good and I figured the parts would be on the way. Ever since, no returned e-mail and there's no voice mail option on the phone line. I try to order about a years supply from them because of this and I've shifted to either making parts or other suppliers for certain things. Still, GJ has the best price by a mile on some stuff.

Anyway, if you try contacting them and get a response let 'em know folks are concerned. Hopefully, it's just another one of those "things" they do. Maybe family issues, etc.

Fires aren't anywhere near him, must be something else.

I know mojo has the same parts that GJ has but yes. The prices are alittle cheaper. I wanted to get the EMG style covers they had and they seem to be the only one to carry them. Ill see if I can get a hold of them before I make a order.

[David Schwab]

My last order with them was July 3rd, and I got my order right away.

Maybe they are on vacation?

[tonedeciple]

I also placed an order on July 3rd. Got everything (parts for a P90) about a week later.

[StarryNight]

my last two orders requests were completely ignored. One last year and one just two weeks ago. I've pretty much given up on them. Too bad.

Well, Mojo doesn't carry Lipstick parts or mini HB parts and some other parts I need.

I know I can get the mini parts from Allparts but does anyone know if it is possible to get Lipstick parts from them? Or anywere else? I really would like to try my hands on winding lipsticks and AFAIK GJ is the only place that have them in reasonabley low quantities.

He must be gone somewhere, I got the wrong bobbins about four months ago, sent them back and never got a replacement and keep getting told the right ones are coming that week but never got them, no answers to emails this week...

This guy conducts business like no other.
