Bad dealings with subthump.com? I was wondering if anyone has had any bad dealings with subthump.com? I ordered a Millhouse box from them 9 days ago and had received an order conformation. I called my credit card company to check and see if my credit card order with them had went through and it has. I sent them an email a couple days ago wanting to confirm my order with them personally and to know the status on my order, but have not received a reply. I also tried to contact them by phone yesterday and left a message, but have not received a phone call back and I`ve tried to call today without any avail. What is up with this company? They seem to have a good product, but I`m starting to have doubts about dealing with these folks.

I finally got in touch with them. I guess I posted a little too soon. They seem to be backed up a bit. Still a little tough to get in touch with on the phone, but was very curteous. Other than the fact they are hard to make contact with, they seem to be an A+ business.

Keep up the good work Steve. Hope life is going good. Been a long time since we've talked. Take care man.

Customer is always right, and if im paying someone to make me a product, i have the right to call him and ask questions about it. If he would have acted snippy with me i would hope to god his business fails. On a side note i ordered a box from them last year and it was a quality box, just had to hack it up a bit recently cuz the P3 Rockford fosgate 10inch frame is bulky. =(

I may have jumped the gun, but I tried to make contact through email and phone. I left messages both places. I have been screwed out of a couple grand here lately, so I`m a bit paranoid about being screwed again and making financial dealings over the net. I apologize

Just my take. I dont know Steve personally but I have had some dealings with him in the past and have had nothing but great and reasonable service and I know that he's a good guy. It gets ridiculous though when people start asking for the unreasonable.
With all of that said, mako, its understandable that you're a bit edgy after losing some money over the net. I've been there two for about half what you've lost and I'm gun shy also, but sometimes you have to walk a mile in the other man's shoes. Steve will get you your box. How many times have you heard about him screwing someone out of their money?

I ordered my box on the 9th of february. I didn`t try to make contact by phone until the 16th and left a message. I sent an email on the 15th I believe and never got a response from either of them. I finally made contact verbal contact on the 17th after several calls to get through.
I was never trying to doubt subthump or try to be an ******* cumstomer. I just felt it was time for me to try and make contact since they hadn`t.
I own my own business and not making contact with customers is a BIG NO NO!!! Everyone has personal problems from time to time including myself that can interfere with business, but it`s very bad to let it. Business is business and your personal life is your personal life. Your business will crash and burn if you let the two mix. It doesn`t matter how thriving your business is. I`ve seen it too many times.
I`m sure subthump makes a quality product. I have read nothing but great reviews about them. That is why I went with them instead of someone else.
I apologize once again to the folks at subthump for causing any grief that I may have caused. Like I mentioned earlier though, business is business

Sometimes, like these last couple weeks, I have to finish a dozen other boxes before I start on yours. You don't necessarly go right to the front of the line like everyone thinks they should. When I am in the shop (with my ear plugs in and the saw and air compressor going, I CANNOT hear the phone ringing. So duh it would be hard to contact me. So it's best to either e-mail me or wait paitenly. I really haven't had time to write everybody back and I'm turning away about $600 worth of business a week. So you should feel lucky I decided to accept your order. Your going to get your box soon, so keep your shorts on.

I don`t care if it took 30 days to get the box made. Point of the matter is, it`s not good business to make absolutely no contact with your customer. Obviously the people responding here have absolutely no idea what it takes to run a successful business. Sounds to me like subthump has grown to where it needs more employees.

I agree with 02blackSS... that is a shitty way to treat customers, atleast the ones that were 'lucky' enough to have you grace them by accepting their order...
