@nasaman I purchased directly from their website. Is it true as @jayctoy mentioned you have his number and have direct contact with Rick himself?. If so why not just ask him to help us all here that have paid for his products and are having trouble since there is a number of us here in the same boat. Surely he should be willing to help us since HFC is synonymously connected to Rick Shultz name? |
I realise how difficult it is when a business goes under, and there will always be a few customers caught out during the transition period. But HFC did a recent 60% off sale and probably took in a substantial amount of orders. I wonder how many of those orders will now not be delivered. If you are within the credit card chargeback window you need to move fast and contact your bank or paypal. |
I have no experience with HFC whatsoever and I hope that those who have outstanding orders receive product or a refund. As a financial person I am somewhat familiar with the required planning performed prior to a business shutting the doors. These things do not happen in a vacuum. NOT NECESSARILY IN THIS CASE, but it is not inconceivable that some businesses may continue to take orders and customers’ money knowing the likelihood is that the customers will not receive their orders and that paying OTHER outstanding liabilities is more important from a legal liability standpoint than refunding customers. I surely hope this is not the case and that you receive refunds. |
If he goes bankrupt, somebody is appointed by the court to review the transactions over at least the last few months to see how the money was spent. They then have the right to what they call ‘“ claw back” monies that they see fit from other paid vendors. Then the court re-distribute the funds equally amongst the creditors. I wonder if that holds true for the customers? I’m sure there’s somebody in this group of audio files who knows much more than I do about how things like that work. I only know because I had it happened to me. I had to send back like three months worth of invoices that I was paid for and I only got about half of it back. At the time it really sucked but it made sense that everybody got a distribution instead of just a few favorites. I wonder how it works when you’re running a retail business that goes belly up? I wonder if the customers get first chance at repayment or if they have the same or more weight than the vendors let’s say. Does anyone know? |
