Yeah I got one . . .

After coming home from a 5 day AT trip sleeping in my Hammock Bliss, I decided it was time to upgrade so I ordered the WBBB Dbl 1.7 and Superfly. A week goes by and I email Brandon and he tells me it might be a bit longer as he ran out of material, notice no mention of when I would get it. Week later I send a second email, get the same response and now I am starting to get slightly above anxious for my packages. The following week, my 40th birthday, never really put 1 & 2 together, my wife has a surprise birthday party for me, friends & family, gifts all wrapped up and then I spot 2 brown boxes with postage markings on them. JACKPOT ! ! !

It "royally" sucked not ever getting a definitive delivery time from Brandon as I was convinced the WBBB was the hammock I wanted but I really got a bad impression of his customer service. It was all "null & void" when I realized I didn't get a PayPal request from him either

My wife had spoken with Brandon after I had ordered and had Brandon go along with plan and daggumit, he did very well. Thought I had been victimized of no material and waiting was going to kill me.

As fate would have it, all that money I had set aside for the WBBB and SF all of the sudden turned into a 3 Season Yetti, go figure.

Sounds like a terrible way to have to live lol. Maybe Jess will be creative with my Birthday some day and I'll have a new fluffy UQ or something to play with.

My wife is not sneaky or mean per se. I just get the "did you order more hammock stuff?" line.

**ice man** · 08-12-2010, 13:47

Crazy Woman usedta tell me if I ever made her mad, don't go to sleep first.

**Riverpirate** · 08-12-2010, 13:49

I have all my stuff shipped to my office. She has no idea how much stuff I have.

I get home and after about 30 min I notice a box hidden by the wall and coffee table, and to my surprise it was my yeti and black mamba.

Anyone else have any mean wife stories?

Gear room?!? My wife threw me out of my tiny gear room (more like a big closet) in the basement to make an office, fancied it up (carpet and new ceiling and lights), then never moved in. The thread injector found its way in there eventually...

but my gear is still relegated to a set of shelves in the laundry room.
