    Damn right its gonna come out of their pocket one way or the other! No disrespect Brother Knucklehead But you don't become the Capt'n by proxy, it is earned. This isn't the Ole Captn's first rodeo either. I am a pretty tuff negotiator let me explain myself here. The reason I asked about shipping in the first place and the reason I think it matters is because I called FedEx and that package cost them $136.84 to to my door as it's origin was Sparks Nevada. It will cost them double that so $273.68 for them to ship me a new it being returned and to reship. I figured sunIE would try and stick FedEx with the damaged shipment when it wasn't all their fault. I called FedEx and told them that this machine was or could have been damaged before by the EARL SHEIBE paint job that was done on it before, most likely from past damage and I sent them pictures to prove it. The FedEx guy thanked me for reporting this to him and took down all of my contact information in case they need to contact me on this. I will also pass this info onto sunIE before they try and embarrass themselves on trying to pull a fast one again. The way I figure is Business is Business and so is dollars and cents $273.68 is the prime # we are dealing with here. At this point They know its gonna cost them that, what they will want to know is what am I willing to settle for? Stay tuned as this is going to get interesting. Oh and I did get a E-Mail back from them this afternoon that said: Sorry for the problem and thank you for the pictures. For the hat press, the alignment is corrected by the curve heating element and the silicon base. The silicon base will bump back in a few days when the handle is up. Most of the cosmetic damages on the swing away press are cause during the shipping. For above issues, we can do exchange, full refund or discount. If you need discount, how much you feel is appropriate. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

    SunIE Poor Customer Service

    Yeah Jay, it looks like that is what I am going to have to do today. I called yesterday evening 4 times up to 8:00 pm which is 4:00 pm out in Sparks Nevada (their location) and I kept getting their answering machine and I left yet another message. What I am going to do today is set the machine up on a table plug it in, and ck out its operation and see if it at least works correctly. Like I said the damage is mostly cosmetic but still a guy doesn't want his stuff looking good and not all mangled up right? Well I will tell ya right now they are not going to want it back plus a giving me a complete refund or even worse an exchange cause they will hafta pay shipping two more times. As Jay mentioned the Hat press can most likely be adjusted, so that can be fixed I think but the larger Heat Press is the main one in concern. What do you estimate return shipping would be on both of these machines back to sparks Nevada? The reason I ask this may determine what kinda bargain I can make with them. I wish everything would have went perfect but I am hear now and have to make the best of it. Thanks

    Being new to all this, I can see I have some excitement ahead of me. If I wanted to sell some T shirts or decals on Flee Bay what is legal? Can I sell stuff like is in our mature section? Or will people be biting my butt on that too? Thanks

    Brother Butch. I retire in 4 months and you just never know where Ole Duke the Capt'n might end up. I don't know what ya paid for that press from Jay But I paid 4 bills and I got Corn Holed real good and Ole Duke never even got a SMILE! I'm sure whatever you paid you came out better than me! What do you guys think about this deal? A Buck and a Half off the two, A Hundred and quarter off the Big un and 25 off the Lil one..... Or tell them to shove it.. I bought both thru pay pal so I do have protection. And Oh by the way I did send him all these pics and more after I called him and he never called me back! I called him at 5:00 pm my time and 1:00 pm his time explained the circumstances and sent him all pics and told him to call me back and he never did. I called him back at 7:00 my time 3:00 his time left a message and ask him to please contact me today and he still never did. I really would like another press but if he steps up to the plate (as long as the equipment functions correctly) I don't have a problem with the discount. What would you guys do? Thanks ~Duke

    SunIE Poor Customer Service

    Thanks all. Well the Slow Boat From China came today from sunIE and inside was a bucked up press, handle bent, machine bent, scuff marks all over it. Rubber foot tore off, on one of the big scuffs it looks like they tried to spray some high gloss paint on the satin finish and it really looks mucked up like they were trying to make refurbished machine out of it and slip it out the door. The Hat Press is all miss aligned also. What would you guys ask for them to make it right? I mean I ordered a brand new machines not scratch and dent, look like they got some splanin to do! Thanks

I'm still waiting for My SunIE Junker Cheapie it's prolly on a Slow boat to china or something? Anyways when I called out there and talked with some guy by the name of frank.

Yippee By the way looks like a great machine.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. The one thing I never heard anyone mention yet is lighting. Darkness of any kind is an open invitation for would be theifs. a few years back I had my garage broken into. It was dark all around my place. Now I have 9 Rabb Stealth motion sensor Lights with 2 LED bulbs each on each light, (really Really Bright)! Well they really light up the place. You cant approach any where without lighting comming on. Cameras are the second thing I did, I was no novice when it came to cameras. Working as Maint Supervisor at my local County Jail for 20 years we had over 250 of them along with 16 DVR's and multiplexers. Anyway I brought some of that Jail Technology home. I now have 16 Infra red cameras Infra red means (they see in the dark black and white). Also my DVR records 24/7. The lights serve another purpose, It changes the cameras back to color and sharpens the image when they turn on. I also installed Signs and...... Oh that security system the wife would never learn how to use that I installed years ealier when I added on a 1400 sq ft addition??? Well she arms and uses it now! Be leary of cheap equipment in the camera industry you get what you pay for. The first thing I would do is lighting then Warning Signage as mentioned, and then a couple Infra red cameras even cheap ones at first for this purpose. The Led cameras glow red in the dark they have red LED's surrounding the camera lense they can be seen from 100+ feet away in the dark even if they arent working live hooking pwr to them makes the infra red led's come on that in itself will scare the crap outta people and make them think twice. If you have any questins PM me and and will do the best I can to help you out.

    Red Blade Holder For Graphtec $99.00

    Well, I asked where to get the red blade holder and was told to ask Ross from Clean Cut! So he sent me to a website that wanted $20.00 more than I spent! Well anyways I guess I get screwed more than Hue Heffner Well when your the new kid on the block I expect to take a few lumps along the way, that's just the price of the learning curve that any one goes through getting into something new. I hate pestering everyone asking a zillion questions all the time. So I don't know what fits what on these machines. Maybe next time Ill call Hue he might be able to give me a few Tips. Mr. Jones thanks for the multi blade Tip & Dakota I like the blade holder Idea. I think I can make one of those. There is allot of magic made in this shop.
