Of course they have an excuse:
quote:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, our principal uniform vendor (Fergo Sports) who we contracted to complete the uniform order for Mr. Weber has since gone out of business after accepting compensation to complete the uniform order. We deeply regret the inability to deliver uniforms as promised. We are currently seeking our own restitution. In our dealings, we believe we conducted business appropriately according to industry standards to the best of our ability."




Either way don't bitch out and not respond to them, be up front about it.. what a shitty way to do business.. hopefully his little company ends up getting screwed..

I have many a gift card from places that went out of business- I guess I should report that to WAFB or whatever as well right?

Sounds like a scamming POS

Terrible comparison. An order was made and an $8000 deposit was placed for a business transaction. How does this compare to you not using the remainder of your $10 Blockbuster giftcard?

So my $25 gift card, plus that of 200 other people comes to $5k. Scale man. People do this shite all of the time in business. I don't think it is right either way and wouldn't run a business that way but people do.

Fergo sports is located in Miami, McDonald Ferguson is the CEO so I assume he is also the owner (not sure). Uncertain if there is a family tie to EGO. Fergo Sports

F rating by the BBB BBB F Rating

They have apparently done this before. From Miami last year: Previous failure to deliver

Not sure why I fgelt the need to look into it but there it is. Hopefully Ego Sr. will do the right thing with the team. They paid him, he owes them money regardless of his excuses, he should have researched his supplier. Unless he goes bankrupt, he will lose in court and have to pay the 8K back.

I feel like he did wrong. We had Harris and Dupree at our team. Fournette was at another. (Same league)

Sounds like D s was taken advantage of purposefully.

Wow, what great insight.

I've read it before too. Doesn't make it right.

To be fair on the BBB rating, they haven't applied for accreditation. If you never apply for it, you get an F. The BBB is a kind of a joke anyway but that's another topic.
