Spiderbrace purchase ( experience )

Hey all,

i recently purchased a spiderbrace 2 from spiderbrace's website, and have unfortunately been disappointed with their service.

I ordered it at 12 AM ( late late night/early morning ) on the 12th of September. I paid for the 15 dollar overnight shipping, completely aware that it says purchases need to be done before 1 am for it to process, expecting that it would come to me on the 14th.

Surely enough, friday came around, and no show, so i was spiderbraceless for a small shoot that i had to do. I e-mailed them asking why there was a no show, as well as no updates on the order/delivery. Finally, i e-mailed them sunday, also aware that there are no deliveries on the weekend, as to why i have paid the extra 15 dollars for a service that never came through. A few hours ago, i received an e-mail back which stated that there would be a refund of the 15 dollars spent on the overnight shipping. I go to check my statement and the entire amount had been refunded to me ( shipping and actual unit ).

So now i've e-mailed them back, slightly perturbed, but polite none the less saying i never once mentioned that i did not want to complete the purchase and not receive the unit, and that i was concerned why such a decision had been made, as it turns out i now need it for the coming weekend. This, unfortunately, i cannot assume will not be a problem due to the short coming history.

Anyways, please let me know how your experiences were with spiderbrace, for those who have ordered from them, as i am slightly bummed out by there mistake, lack of proper response, and the entire refund that they gave me ( assuming now that the unit is NOT on its way ).

Yeah... just felt like complaining a bit.

But honestly, has anyone else experienced a problem?
 
update ( lol i know, not long after my rant )

just received an e-mail back stating that the item has indeed been shipped, however the overnight is only offerend in the US and not international. He refunded the 15 and also stated that the shipment to canada was actually 30$. So i told him i would re refund him the 15, and send any additions that would be needed.

However, when logged into my bank account, it shows a refund of 106 canadian, the entire amount of the spiderbrace PLUS the overnight shipping. When checking into my paypal account, it shows simply a refund of the 15 bucks.... Not sure whats going on here.
 
nearish, i live in west island ( beaconsfield ) its near baie d'urfe and point claire.
 
Spiderbrace is a very tiny company, possibly even a one-person operation. They are reputable, as are thier products.
 
I had excellent experience...

I had excellent experience...

with the folks at Spiderbrace. I mistakenly ordered the wrong model. I realized it within an hour and called to change the order but was told the item had already shipped. I Paypaled him the difference in the price and he sent the correct product that same day and I just sent the incorrect one back when it arrived. I was impressed.
 
got my brace a few days ago, works like a charm!

stills feels slightly heavy in front with the canon A1, but great none the less.
 
As a general rule, regardless of what web sites say, if you REALLY NEED something shipped and delivered in 1-2 days, always call!
 
My experience with Spiderbrace has been awesome. It's a great product, and when I ordered it, it shipped out right away and they corresponded with me immediately upon ordering and shipping. It was a very pleasant experience and I love the product.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the battery folks however, for the DVXuser batteries. Let's hope that comes to my door soon!
