    Rusticsportsman.com-Legit? (ordered tarp from them)

    Hey all, thanks for the help in deciding which hammock to buy a week ago.

    ago, with no shipping yet. Has anyone ordered from these guys before? Getting a bad feeling about this...another thanks for helping this newb out!

    Both myself and TEKAPE ordered Chinooks from Rusticsportsman, but found out after no replies from them, that they are sold out of the Chinook Tarps. It's be a cold day before I do business with them again. Terrible customer service.

    You'll likely find that the Gear Guide Tarps are also out of stock. (at least everywhere I looked) I finally went with the Hennessey Hex. They run about $70 with shipping, but I found one cheaper.

    thx.. Festus-99

    I bought a Chinook from these folks:
    http://www.sonomaoutfitters.com/stor...%27+x+9%276%22

    They show the tarp as "In Stock," they have a toll free # so you can double check, and they were a pleasure to do business with.

    And if any of you have any trouble with these people, let me know. The home store is 3 miles away from me.

    rustic sportsman update

    Hey guys, thanks for the advice. A little update: Never received any answers to my emails about my order (throughout this last week), and just looking into my bank account, they gave me back my money even though I hadn't even canceled my order at that point. Yesterday, I cancelled my order via email and ready to be done with them. Word to the wise: DONT buy from these guys, nobody is home! I will look at some of those other places for the chinook. Thanks again, and research before you buy!
