Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Order from HALFBASE - Should we or should wenot?

well me too in support of removing him from the wiki

 

I was the one who started this thread: "Order from HALFBASE ...  ". I waited for more than a month and he used to give reasons for not shipping and promised shipping it in a week. After a long wait, I thought if some others are facing such problems. And here I see that everyone is in the same boat. I think we should remove his entry from the wiki and may be rather write some comments so that people who reach on that through google or something should atleast have a chance to read about him before they too place an order.

I have, in the past, spoke for Jeffrey.  I ordered a few things from him and he screwed up my order (sent it to the wrong address).  Luckily I was able to file a change of address with USPS and did receive my order.  My order was correct, parts-wise.  However, it seems he uses some non-melexis IR thermopiles for the vertical IR sensor, and they did not work correctly.  I ordered the melexis thermopiles and put them on the board and they worked.  Yay.  (Now I find out that my horizontal IR board that I got from Mantis electronics is bad, but that's another story)

I placed another order with him, but PayPal won't let you complete the order.  I have tried contacting him and haven't heard anything for weeks.  It seems even his cell phone has been disconnected (though I can't confirm since I don't speak... whatever language that was)

So in short, I support removing all mention of him from the wiki.

Cory,
Funny you should mention removing him.  As I had just finished doing so before checking my email again.  There was a warning for people mentioned on the wiki, but franky I see no reason to support someone who is a fraud on the community wiki.  If someone really has a problem removing him please speak, but I think protecting potential users should be our first goal.

   When I ordered from Halfbase, I received nothing, and the order never
   left the processing status on his website. I waited for about 3 weeks.
   Since he would not give any sort of confirmation of my order shipment,
   I disputed the order with paypal. I was able to get my money back
   through paypal eventually.

   Choe, unless you can get your money back from paypal, or your credit
   card, you will probably get nothing.

   I checked, and he has no activity on the wiki or mailing list for more
   than a month. I would support removing him from the get hardware page.

   Has anyone had positive experiences with halfbase? I know a few people
   have received some of their order from him after a long wait, but has
   anyone received their complete order in a timely fashion?
