Another buyer beware for Dave Forrest.
I also have not received my order (o/n 14550) I have waited over a month with no response from my emails) This has happened before from this company, but I thought it was a one off. This is obviously not the case. Never again will I never order again from full52. How does he stay in business? |

Update. As per a previous poster, I contacted Dave Forrest again and said I would open a PayPal dispute if I did not receive my goods.I received an email within a few hours saying that my order had been posted. I received it 2 days later.

I always thought he had an unusual middle name...
Dave 'Caveat Emptor' Forrest I suppose it's not a stage name?   |

Another vote for Blue Crown. Now I exclusively shop at Penguin. Great customer service.

So I ordered something from Full 52. Order was processed but no shipping information given. I waited a week before emailing Dave to ask for shipping info. Never got back to me. A week later, after reading this thread, I opened a dispute. He emails me tells me it's been sent when it was processed. I receive my item literally a day after I open the dispute, which of course means it was already on its' way as Dave said it was. Will I buy there again? Well, maybe...if he has something no one else has, but yeah I like to know my shipping info if the seller has it. He of course did have the shipping info but by the time he posted it with paypal I had gotten my item. In other words, he sent it promptly but lacked communication. I still feel like an ass though in this situation, since I got the item RIGHT after I freaked.

It is better to err on the side of caution with him, so don't feel bad (considering his track record).

His communication IS lacking and I have sent him very few emails to ask about Cubism. I have not had any replies. I accept that he has had some very negative and verging on offensive comments said about him and in emails. But if he had kept people in the loop and communicated with us there would have been a lot fewer complaints. He could easily turn it around with an honest email to us all and then keep us informed via email. Don't feel like you freaked. Just drop him an email and say you received it. Close the Paypal dispute - all will be good. |

Thanks for sharing. For me - I now avoid the followong: Full 52 Dave Forest I am waiting for several things from Mark Elsdon. I generally just buy from: Vanishing and occasionally from Saturn Penguin |

I realize that the topic here is about bad customer service and I'm only a hobbyist but I have a moral need to speak out about a great magician with great customer service who is not with us anymore: Daryl Easton. You can only realize how much bad there is in some people when you know the good people.
A couple of years ago I made an order on his site. Nothing special, just fun items for a hobbyist like me who adores Daryl. The cost was like 35-40 dollars (can't remember exactly). The thing is that my inexperience ordering oversea at the time (I'm from Italy) made me think that my package might be lost or something after like 10-12 days of waiting. Now I know that's normal. So I contacted Daryl by email and he responded very quickly. He said he was sorry for the trouble and that he'ld send me another package with a LITTLE extra goodies for the trouble I had. So he did and I received that package with the extras. You won't believe me but he sent me about $175 of his magic!!! I immediately sent him an email telling him that if I happened to also recieve the first one I would send it back to him. I was very touched by him giving me all that stuff for free which I still have in that same box he sent me and I keep it with love and care. After a while I also received the first order (about a month and a half or something like that after shipping) and I sent it back to him. When I told him that I didn't expect that the LITTLE something he gave me for free was going to be about $175 of stuff he said "Enjoy the goodies, my friend, I can tell that you love the Art" (I recall something like that and he only knew me by email). I still think about this every now and then! What a man! As you can see there are beautiful people in the magic community (or should I say there were?) but we're losing a lot of them sadly. Sorry if I'm off topic but I don't know where to write this and it's something I had on my mind for some years now. This is an example of more than the best customer service! Love for Daryl! |

I met him briefly a couple times at the magic meeting in Las Vegas...two of the nicest magicians I've ever met I met at that place, that night. Daryl and Johnny Thompson...both gone now and to me the world really does feel smaller and colder with such folks leaving the earth plane. I never bought stuff from Daryl directly but just by the type of personality he had when meeting me it was clear that his love was for the art of magic, not the making of money. |

Penguin magic have been terrible with me so far.
Trying to get a reply via email takes days, they mess up my order and their partner system is a joke. I've never had so much trouble with a company than I have with penguin. Liz |
