Re: Could not get a date AFTER CASHING $30k worth of checks

[Michael Gleissner] "they informed us that "our" camera (serial #1328) "is ready" and would be ready to be shipped upon full payment. We sent the check."

Some have accused me of being unfriendly toward the "RED" camera and it's company.

What I've said is this:

1. "This camera could change everything. If it does what they say it will do, for the price, it's a wonderful thing."

2. "Their business practices and ethics stink".

I still stand by both statements. If they called Michael to tell him that his camera is READY and to send the money, they needed to send that camera within a week at the most. I can understand being buried in orders but it seems like this is just business as usual for them. Just because they are providing the most advanced product ever to hit our industry does not give them the right to do what they are so known for.

And, I really hate to say this, but I must: The people who are really excited about what the RED team does are far too eager to overlook what the RED team doesn't do.

Think about it, guys, if SONY did the same thing, you would be on the SONY forum screaming about it.

And, by the way, this forum, and all the others, are here to allow us to present both sides of the issue. If RED had called me this morning and said "Your camera's ready. Send the money", I would be extremely thankful for Michael's post.

Let's not condemn the poster without a thorough understanding about what happened here.

And, Michael, please fill out your profile with some contact info. Some others may want to contact you privately to discuss your situation.
