Anybody else had bad dealings with BUNKERSURVIVAL.COM?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

If there are any other customers out there besides myself who have been dissatisfied with BUNKERSURVIVAL.COM please let me know. We paid Mr. Michael Bunker about $800 for some shortwave radios that he promised to drop-ship for us to customers we had sold the radios too. In other words, Bunker was our middle-man supplier. Anyway, after about 3 weeks we started getting calls from customers complaining that their radios had not arrived. So I called Bunker 15 TIMES (literally) and he never answered ONE SINGLE CALL. The last message I left for him on his machine on April 21st, I swore out of frustration and told him to "call me back goddammit". Well, guess what, Mr. Bunker then faxed me and told me I had "taken the lord's name in vein" and that he would not accept any more communication from me unless it was via FAX or MAIL. He also promised me the radios would be shipped in the next 8 days. Of course they weren't. He "left town" to go to a y2k expo to sell his goods. (This was about the 3rd time he had "left town" to go to y2k expos and left nobody in charge of handling his unfinished business or shipping). His wife answered a couple of times while he was gone and even she was frustrated because he was not returning my calls. So, to finish the story....After Bunker told me no more live communication (as if there were any in the first place) I faxed him 8 TIMES over the next 14 days to find out WHEN the orders would get shipped, or IF they had been shipped and to simply inform me of the status because I was tired of listening to angry customers 3 times a day. Still NO RESPONSE. I even left a message AND a fax to please refund all the money I had paid him, so I could then purchase them somewhere else in order to service my customers. NO RESPONSE to that either. As of today I have officially filed a complaint against him with Attorney General's office of Texas, and the Better Business Bureau, as this completely irresponsible and unprofessional "business-man" can't even answer a phone call or fax AFTER 3 WEEKS! He has left me hanging in mystery, unable to answer the angry customers as to WHERE their radios are. So if anybody else out there knows of or has had any similar bad experience with Michael Bunker of WWW.BUNKERSURVIVAL.COM please let me know and post it on this board. It is unfortunate that there are unscrupulous characters like Mr. Bunker in the Y2K survival business who cannot deliver products and refuses to answer questions as to why they are not being delivered. As well as letting me take all the flack from angry customers, one of which I had to refund already because she could not get an ANSWER as to where her shipment was! Needless to say, I have asked Bunker for refund too. "Maybe" god-willing, he will have enough ethics and moral sense to refund the money my company paid him. Considering the fact that he calls himself a "christian"

AAhhh. It seems Mr. Bidlow is a bit "unsteady". This guy is a hand- grenade ready to go off. By attacking a well-known Christian speaker, and flooding the internet with hate mail, he thinks he has accomplished something. I'd hate to pay this guys psychiatric bill.

Is he really a well-known Christian speaker or are you kidding? If he is why would he be treating Mr Bidlow this way? Just wondering...

Wait a minute. Gary Bidlow of Y2KBULKFOODS calls this guy in the middle of the night, every night, to discuss his ideas about psychiatry, and uses foul language in front of Mr. Bunker's family and Mr. Bunker is at fault? I think I'd get the rest of the story. From what Mike and his people have told me, this Bidlow fruitcake is one slice short of an apple. What does being a Christian have to do with protecting your family from a dangerous psychopath? I think NOT calling the guy back is much nicer than what I would have done.

OK folks, I want to announce that Mr. Bunker FINALLY responded to me and has stated that he has mailed me a refund check via certified mail today. He finally DID take responsibility and is to be acknowledged for it. Sincerely, Gary Bidlow - Citizens At Work

Hey Gary, I know some 5 year olds and some old women. Maybe you can come cuss them out and wake them up at all hours of the night until they "give"?

Alright. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I was afraid that some of you out there with low IQ's would EMBELLISH and DISTORT and completely MIS-COMPREHEND the situation. For those of you kindergarten graduates who did not understand something I wrote in my original complaint, please go back and re-read it and FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, AS LAID OUT IN MY COMPLAINT. It is simple. AFTER 3 WEEKS of Mr. Bunker NOT ANSWERING my 15 MESSAGES I got angry and swore on his machine ONE TIME ONLY. And I WROTE EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ABOVE! Now it's turned into "harrassing his family" and on and on and on. WHERE do you people come from? You people are worse than the MEDIA!!!!!! It took what it took to GET A RESPONSE FROM BUNKER! WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A SUPPLIER REFUSED TO ANSWER YOUR CALLS AND FAXES, WHO LEFT YOU HANGING WITH NO INFORMATION AS TO WHERE THE ORDERS WERE FOR 3 WEEKS!! COME ON! I don't care what Mike Bunker told whoever called him. The TRUTH is that he "left town" several times and DID NOT ANSWER MY SIMPLE QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN. He NEVER answers any messages on his BUSINESS machine and he GAVE ME HIS HOME PHONE NUMBER! All I did was leave messages for him to please call me and he NEVER did! THEN I started faxing him BEGGING him to please ANSWER me, and STILL no response. YOU try and do business with ANYBODY who REFUSES to answer BUSINESS calls asking about WHERE ARE THE ORDERS STANDING RIGHT NOW? But NO, Bunker could not even call me back to LET ME KNOW that the radios were back ordered. He did not answer my calls LONG BEFORE I ever said "Please call me back goddammit". ONE TIME! GET IT? There is a SEQUENCE in time for all you morons who CANNOT READ! No wonder SAT scores are down in our schools. All this reminds me of the typical approach by certain police agencies attacking the VICTIM instead of the PERPETRATOR. And then the media jumping all over it and spreading FALSE REPORTS all over the country. UNBELIEVABLE. And the public BELIEVES it all WITHOUT EVER INSPECTING AND INVESTIGATING THOROUGHLY the FACTS. So for all of you who are obvious SHEEP and MORONS who just love to jump in on a scandal and WRONG TARGET, go back to your televisions and eat up the news, and then go gossip to all your neighbors about the latest SPIN. And while you're at it, go back to school and learn how to READ. For the only 2 people who "got the point" on this message board I commend you for being able to SEE and not be as BLIND as the rest of the SHEEP. (Like the one person who said "what about the radios?", while the rest of you MISSED THE BOAT BY A THOUSAND MILES! I REFUSE to be attacked with LIES and ALTERATIONS of the TRUTH without defending myself. Like I said earlier, WHERE do you people come from? My apologies for this being posted twice. The first time the entire message did not go through. Sincerely, Gary Bidlow, Citizens At Work

One more short message. For all of you who "bought" the altered version of the truth, I'd just like to point out that I did file formal complaints on Bunker with the Attorney General's office and the BBB. If I was LYING in ANY of these formal LEGAL complaints, then I would be guilty of LIBEL and SLANDER. Unfortunately for Mike Bunker HE is guilty of LIBEL and SLANDER by LYING to the 2 people who called him to get "his side of the story". Therefore, if Mike Bunker does not PUBLICLY apologize for MISLEADING and ALTERING the truth to the 2 people who called him, (who then posted the LIES on this board) I will file a LAWSUIT for libel and slander against Mr. Bunker. That is all. Gary Bidlow
