So I ordered a maverick holster from Joel over a month ago and have reaching out a bunch of times.... no response whatsoever. Does anyone know a better way to contact him? Ive tried emailed, calling, facebook messaging.. nothing. I’ve left 3 messages on his answering machine with no response.

Thoughts?

Anyone ???

I don't play games with guys that reply back - first, I do everything with Paypal so I'm protected. At this point I would put a complaint in for a refund with paypal. You usually hear back real quick from whoever it is your trying to do business with.

I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because I've dealt with him before and has been been nothing short of great to deal with until now. Just wondering if anyone knows why he wouldn't be responding or what the deal is.

Still havent heard anything. Getting really frustrated. And Joel doesn't use paypal so I had to use a credit card through his site. Been 5 weeks now without a single word from him.

Does anyone have a better way to get in touch? I've tried email, phone, and facebook message to the high caliber page... NOTHING!

Report the issue to your credit card company and get the money back. You have given more than enough time an more than enough tries to contact him. If you don’t take the steps in time to protect your money then it will become your loss because you tried to be nice. 5 weeks of no response from that many sources in today’s world is too long. Stop asking what to do and do what you need to do - stop payment before it is too late to take action.

I ordered the 'Original Holster' jsut over three months ago. He got back to me a little over a month ago and said it was ready to ship the next day. He said he'd throw in a free shirt for the wait. Following that communication; not a word. He has not responded to my emails or my voice messages and that's with me spacing them out over several days at a time.

I'm still holding out, hoping I'll eventually receive the piece. I know he recently welcomed a new addition to the family so I understand being a bit busier than usual. Still, it would be nice to get an update. Hoping he's alright as I know he generally has a good reputation. These delays appear to be more recent. I will post here if I hear anything.

Ended up canceling payment and buying used... really unfortunate as I was hoping to go new.

Hope Joel is Okay.

Joel got back to me and I just received my holster! Unfortunately he had a couple of personal issues to address to and it took him away from work. He was very apologetic for not getting back sooner and included a couple of gifts. Holster is amazing quality!

Sorry to know that he's had some problems, but glad to hear that he's back in the saddle! I've often been intrigued by his work, but rather cautious of purchase because I'm not often certain as to whether he is open for business.

What is the best way to contact him?

I ordered a Maverick Holster from Joel in 2015 and while it took him a while to finish it, it is gorgeous. He always got back to e-mails eventually.

Sorry for the delayed response. At this point, I would suggest emailing him at highcalibermagic@gmail.com

Life intervened and I never got to use the wonderful Maverick holster that Joel had made for me.
Time to pass it on and maybe one of you guys may want to snatch it up.

I am selling it here in unused condition:

Hopefully the moderators will allow this notification on this thread.

He has been late for years. It takes three to four months for him to complete (I purchased from him in the past) an order.
I would like to purchase from him again, but don't trust his poor business process.

I suggest that you email him first and inquire if he one in stock first. If they are made to order, well, I would pass.
