Money stolen by Spirit in the Wood : Conrad Kubiak

[Fabibi3791]

Hello !

I would like to explain to all of you to not making business with Conrad Kubiak from Spirit in the wood drums.

Honnestly I am wondering if thisguy is not a big time waster.

I passed an order 2 years ago for a bongo set...(and honestly with two other makers it takes between 3 and 6 months...) I never have any call from this guy...I always have to call and call and call him again just to know if the order was on creation or not....and I never get any answer....
And during the last year he just never retrun my phone call and never get back to me....What do I must think about this company and this guy...!???

He steal me 350$, and he steal also Maya Virgo, and also Serenity Hayabusa up to 3 500$!!! for a conga set that he probably never create !!!

You can see that easily on his facebook page, in the section visitors publications.

If anybody knows about him, if anybody already experiment some problems with this guy, please do not hesitate to contact me via this forum.

Thank you very much in advance.

Fabibi,
I am sorry for your loss. If you note this forum, last year I posted a similar experience with Conrad. I know a few others on this forum report a different experience, however that is not my case and obviously not yours. He not only STOLE my sizable deposit for a set of congas but he outright LIED to me directly on numerous occasions when I called him. He is a very dishonest man.
If any other members have advice on recourse, I am willing to listen. I try not to dwell on the loss and move on however it pains me still.

I communicated with Conrad from 11/6/2014 until 11/6/2015 about a set of drums I wanted him to make for me. I sent him a $1,500.00 check for half-down, which he received on 11/10/2015 (and promptly cashed). We continued communicating via phone and email, always with him telling me that he was still back-logged and hadn't started yet. I was laid off from my job and finally had to ask him for my deposit back, on 2/7/2017. I haven't heard from him since 12/19/2016. His phone goes immediately to voicemail, his website has been suspended, and he hasn't responded to either emails or snail mail letters. I don't want to take the legal route, but am really getting worried that I may have to. I hope to hear from him soon, because I really got to like and respect him a lot in the time that we were communicating. I hope that his health is still good, and that he is just traveling overseas or something, but at this point nobody seems to know anything. If anyone has any information about his situation, please post it here, for all our sakes.
