    Hmmph, I placed my order 2.5 weeks ago. Website indicated in stock and shipment within 48 hours. I sent an email inquiring about the order a week ago. No response and no tarp as of yet. Order confirmed the day of order and card charge cleared two days after order. I was planning on waiting until the entire scenario played out before posting but wanted to let people know it is still a crapshoot with OES. Hopefully I will be able to appreciate the quality of the tarp soon.

    I ordered some guy line 3 1/2 weeks ago. Payment cleared, still no product. 3 emails sent with no response. A little frustrating.

    Glad you had a good experience. I had to wait a loooong time but it worked out in the end and its one of my favorite tarps. Great craftsmanship.

    I'm afraid I'm experiencing the same issue with Brian and his lack of communication with his customers.

    I've contacted him three times now after ordering two MacCat Deluxe tarps and some guy line kits... nothing from him.

    This isn't the first time I've had the issue with OES, either. A year ago I went through the same thing: placed the order, received auto response for order, and then nothing. Had to chase for weeks until I finally got a shipping notice. I also got an email from him apologizing for the lack of communication, etc, citing medical issues - he even said he'd have to close shop to "streamline his customer service" - obviously that didn't do anything to help.

    I love his products (nobody makes tarps this well), but his level of customer service is diabolical. When it states "in stock!" on his site and you pay for a product in good faith like that, you expect to be served accordingly, and at the very least, have your queries responded to.

    I'll be filing a credit card dispute at end of business today if I don't hear from him, and won't be buying from OES again.

    Brian came through and emailed me yesterday apologizing - he'd been "traveling".

    Both tarps came in the mail today.

    Excellent quality product, there's really nobody else that produces such a quality catenary cut tarp.

    I do hope, though, that he improves his shipping speed/communications/general customer service - the cottage industry thrives from word of mouth - and it would be a shame for him to lose business given his product is of a superior quality.

    Really, nobody?
