Yes Gimmie my stuff. Contatc gspay and the credit card you used and see how fast he responds.. Thats how i got my first response from him. i emailed left messages, and waited. but Only until i filled charges that he magicly returned my messages. its a long process but stay on him, demand a refund i wouldnt take no for an answer. i ordered on 2/18/11 cstarted contacting him around 4/10/11 to see where my stuff was (and for 4/20) no response no nothing. On 4/13/11 i demanded my money he gave me a bunch of ### and excuses until like 4/18 where i said i contatced my card and reported fraud. he said he would refund my money within 5 Buisness days. it litterally took 9 business days... Hes a very terrible person, i wish he came to Ny where i live and tried that. he wouldnt make it back to canada lol. Good luck finding a glass blower

I agree w/you ludachris18 - 200%!
Marlon/Roll - Whoever you are: How can all the posts on here be false?
Do you think all of us (who don't even know each other) just banded together to boycott Rollies for no reason? Come on...You know we speak the truth & all you have are excuses for everything that everyone writes...MAN-UP!
You blame your process-server, your suppliers, your old business partner, you blame everyone except yourself. Stop selling products if you can't fulfill our orders.
Maybe that's why your ex-business partner got out of business w/you, he knew you were running a dishonest business & got out while he could!
Marlon you are a joke! I can't believe I let you string me along for a year & I still don't have my stuff!
You keep all your websites up selling these products...Why would you continue to sell stuff you have no intention of sending?
This is NOT how the glass-blowing industry operates... I have dealt w/other company's & you're company is the only one I'm still waiting for to send my stuff I paid for.
But maybe now after I filed a complaint w/the BBB of Canada which probably won't mean anything to you since you already have a F rating w/them.
I emailed the Attorney General of Vancouver & also GSPAY so maybe now I'll get my stuff or my money back...but I won't hold my breath.
No... We are not posting mis-information... This is all FACTS.
I have our string of emails for anyone that wants to see it.

Like i said in the bottom of the Post. If he made any contact, email or phone call to me we wouldnt be here. It wasnt until i contatced gspay and my credit card for fraud thats when you emailed me back. Kinda conveint dont you think. You have the best excuse for everything you should of sold cars, but you cant cheat people out of there money. how come you newver discuss your BBB of F-.?/ Post that next to your shipping guild lines? dont you think your customer should know that?

He is posting misinformation out of being meanful for no reason other than his own enjoyment. He was refunded upon his request, I never denied him of it. The order was out of stock and he knew this. I say again, if you can not wait for your order ask for a refund. He did not ask for a refund he posted these remarks out of no other reason than to be mean. Suppliers order large orders. They can be 20k maybe or more worth of glass or products. They come by ship to my suppliers. My supplier then find out stuff is out of stock. They do not order again immediately they wait 6 months for their next order with that supplier. My suppliers sell to 1000's of stores. You know when you get an order in and a store orders 20 of one thing. Then the supplier runs out. That was all they had. I put my order in, the order is still out of stock. Sometimes Glass Blowers go on holidays. They only blow those pieces and if they go they tend to take off a month. Sometimes two. It happens. There are many variables to stock issues and I do state I am not a supplier. I do not have a warehouse filled with inventory my suppliers do and they push out orders everyday and they do run out of stock. It happens accept the truth when you hear it, I told you it was out of stock and it was, you choose to wait then after 5 weeks, which is still within my shipping time frame you wanted a refund and I gave it to you. The message above is not correct, do not believe his misinformation. Those who got their orders don't post hate, people love to post hate, they enjoy it, it makes them happy, so when you read the msg it is because they wanted to be mean and enjoyed it, yet they all can tell you in the end they were refunded or got the order. Also I was in contact with this person every week and I was still within the shipping time frame. The only reason I take time with orders is because large corporation called merchant processors took customers money and kept it. I was taken for 26k one year, 14k another, 11k, 6k, etc. It is a tough business to be in and when you have not gotten paid by merchant processor it is hard to produce money from nothing. I have struggled to keep this company going over the years and yes people had to wait. Even though I never got paid, I still shipped out orders and that is why I am always behind and take time with orders. So please contact me first and ask for a refund and don't post misinformation as these people do because in the end I speak the truth.

Yeah the business he works in is fraud anyone that buys glass knows it doesnt take as long as he does.The glass industry does take its time but he is the reason why it takes so long. Like honestly why does this guy have a excuse for everything. I got the wrong peice its out of stock. Then you should have more realiable source of stock. And dont you think thats it kinda convenient That all these people just make up stories about this man. Or how about his Better business bureau rating of F-.And i did a whole lot of web searching about his company and only found 2 post that said they got their right order. I mean think what you want. Look at all the post against him. and all his excuses are the same. He has no stock, got the wrong peice, customer being impatient. Dont know how they do it in Canada Marlo, but in America the customer is always right. How do you think he got a BBB rating of F-. Not from customer satisfation. Hes right my refund finally came 8 buisness days later when he said it would only be 4-5. And ill end with, if he would of made any attempt of contacting me and letting me know what was going on with my order there'd be no problems. It was only until I contacted Gspay.com and my credit card for fraud, when i got a response from him..

The customer above product was not able to acquire. He asked for a refund after waiting several weeks. The above statement is false and not accurate. The customer was refunded on his card as he requested when I informed him I could not acquire the product. He has made up statements above to his own opinion and it a shame what he wrote is not accurate. He has his money back and he knew I was giving it to him. The only issue was it has taken longer to see it on his card then he thought so he wrote this, as he was refunded on April 4th, 2011 a few days after I put the request in and a day after I promised him I would do so. All is well, the customer received his refund and I never misled him in anyway, he asked for a refund and I did so as I always do when I can not get an order, and as I say all the time, this is the glass blowing industry, this happens more times than you can imagine. Glass Blowers or companies do not always work fast or accurate. He will confirm he has been refunded and knows I never denied him of that. So please do not believe his comments.

Ok listen This Guy is a Joke. He talks a great game on these posts, But i wouldnt of made this post of he made any attempt of getting ahold of me. After 5 voice message and more then 10 emails I got no response and it was only after I contacted Gspay about The fraud hes commiting is when he returned my email. At fist he said that he was waiting and blah blah blah. @ days later he said he got the the wrong peice ( a 3 arm ashcatcher instead of a 5 arm) again not my fault. I was already waiting for 3 weeks longer then he said it would take. I then asked for a refunded and he ducked my request with promises of getting sometime in april when it was [protected]. Lol what did he exspect for me to wait till summer for something i purchased of [protected]. SO he finally said he would return my money on 4-3-2011, which would only take 4-5 buisness days. it is now [protected] and yet no refund. He hasnt called or wrote an email explaining why it was delay(which he didnt do for my product in the first place).I think if he spent more time trying to do his job instead of surfing the net looking, and trying to discredit the customer buying from him. Kinda hard to explain over 2 years of terrible business. His BBB is a f-. like seriously a f-. He trys to discredit me on this post and say i didnt ask for a refund. Well at first I asked for a order status 3 times no answer. I then email him daily no response. I even called and left messages more then a handful of times. He says 3-5 weeks but its never gonna happen. Look for your self search rollies.com review and see what comes up Nothing good. explain that Marlo Your a scam artist instead of replying to these reviews and reply to your customers email and phone calls. And if he wants to deny my animity my email is ludachris18@yahoo.com please feel free

Do not believe his title post. Though this customer was awaiting his order he would have gotten it, two of my suppliers came out with new catalogues beginning of January. Some stuff ordered was discontinued, some stuff was sold out from xmas from my suppliers. The have have the large warehouses filled with inventory, I order from them, and if I can not get it, I have as you have to await for it to come back in stock. I am not sure who this person is or what they may have ordered to know exactly what happened. However, the customer as no time asked for a refund first, they choose to write falsehoods above for the sake of being mean. I ask you please await the order and if for some reason it can't be acquired after the ship out time of 3-5 weeks then ask me an eta. Why complain here or elsewhere and write falsehoods when you could have been nice and simple stated you are willing to wait or not and want a refund. Either way this customer was taken care of and if you can not handle ordering from a small one man operation then please await till I get to rebuild this business now to be alot faster and better. Right now I need time and that is all I ask, is that so bad, I do post I can not rush orders. I wish I could but I can not at this time and the real people to blame are large corporations called merchant processors who took customers money and did not pay me over the years. You know companies like p..pal, ccavenue, stormpay, paysystems, mercaway, yowcow, and a few more. They are the real problem causers yet you the customer don't know how much they took and kept while I still send out all orders. Rest assured in the coming years I will be back to normal and these falsehoods people write over waiting for an order they know takes time will be old news. I am working hard to get all orders out this year so please do not worry and do not expect it rushed and don't believe anyone who posts because they will always get their order or a refund no matter what falsehoods they post.

Rollies.com I thought it was called stealing when you take someone's money without giving them anything in return?

First off, I know people on here have waited way longer than I have. I am just assisting in describing the ridiculousness of rollies.com. I don't remember the exact date I ordered my pipe, but I know it was around 12/31/2010. I know there website says it will take awhile, that I understand. What I don't understand is how I can send you an email 15 days ago and still yet I have not received any type of response. WTF?!?! but it seems like the only way you can get any type of response outta these people is by mouthing them on here. So answer me, or the proverbial will hit the fan.

**UPDATE**
So Rollies told me I would receive my package by March, didn't give me a specific date or anything. So about halfway into March it still hasn't shipped, by this time I have realized that I won't be getting my package this month. So I woke up this morning, first day in April, package still not shipped. I just emailed the people who ### up everyone's order at this "online head shop superstore". ### of it all is they have a lot of great looking product, but I can confidently say that I will not be ordering from rollies.com ever again. Horrible customer service, they dont even have a 'contact information' page on their site. I had to google it, to try and find the email address. This site is poorly ran.

So not too long after I posted this I got a response from Rollies. In this email it read "Thanks for the order and sorry for the wait. I messed up on my last order and did not get the large bowls and caps. I ran out. I have to wait till next Friday to get more finally. Long wait on my payouts this last month, so orders have not gone out fast enough. It is coming to you in March. I will have it all for packing next weekend and the week after that it will be packed. I will update your account when it ships and it will come via USPS." I didn't want any excuses I just want to know when my pipe will be here. Just from this message alone you can see that they don't have anything together if you can tell some random person about how you and your business is behind. March is running out. I thought that it would have at least been in the mail by now!

Rollies.com Never received order, should have read up on this company

I am so fed up with this company. I placed an order back in July 2010 and still don't have my order. I first emailed them in August about the status and got a pretty rude email basically telling me to be patient and that I'll get my order, they're not a big outfit like Walmart, blah blah. So I said, ok I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and wait it out. So I emailed again at the end of September...no response to my email. Emailed again...no response. I just emailed again today and included a copy of my order status from their friggin website (saying that the order is still pending) and will take legal action if I don't get this resolved. Folks, read up on this company before you EVER place an order with rollies.com. It's clearly a scam and I got screwed.

Ok, so shortly after I wrote this complaint, I received an email from this company. He said that one of the items I ordered was discontinued, he could offer me a substitution, and if I was ok with it he would send out the order with the substitution right away via USPS. So I emailed him back on 11/26 to say, "ok, go ahead and send me the order with the substitution". Well, today is 12/06 and guess what? No order, email, NOTHING. So much for sending my order right away. I've discussed this with my attorney and there's definitely legal action that can be taken if I don't receive my order. I really don't want to go that route, but this is beyond ridiculous. All I want is a confirmation that my order has been shipped, with a legit tracking number via USPS. If this is a legit business, that should NOT be a difficult request.

Rollies.com Possible Fraud

I would suggest cutting and pasting the following message, then sending it to the Minister of Attorney General for B.C. at 'AG.DRO.[protected]@gov.bc.ca' then CC'ing Marlo Franson at '[protected]@ScaleShack.com' until he FINALLY gets the idea that he either needs to ship orders or refund money in a timely manner:

Minister,
My name is (insert name here). I purchased some smoking items from Rollies International on (insert date here). This company based at: 6409 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC V5Z3B2, has repeatedly scammed dozens of persons via the internet. I have contacted Marlo Franson, AKA “Roll” several times via email and telephone asking him to either send my purchased items or return my money and he has ignored my requests. Judging from the quantity of customer complaints found on the internet, this seems to his modus operandi. Is it possible to investigate this individual/company to determine if he is running a criminal mail/internet activity from this address?
I am hoping that, by contacting you and CC’ing him, perhaps he will take notice and TRY to return my money.
Thank you, please reply,

I'm thinking THIS will either get his attention or get him imprisoned!
Either way, I'm happy.

The order was out of stock, customer did not want a substitute and received the credit back on her card for the payment. Please do not believe the misinformation posted above, all people will get their orders even if some of them take time or a refund or a substitute will be sent if out of stock and you agree to it. I assure you all is good and every week I am packing orders from one supplier or another and your order will be taken care of. Out of stock orders can take many months to come back in stock and if you choose to await then you know why it has not been sent. Do not believe the post above it is false and her payment was never in jeopardy of not being refunded and I do not know why one needs to state falsehoods. Please note: for refunds money orders are sent out and one should await that arrival of that payment. All is good and customers are receiving their orders and those who request refunds will get it and if they have not received their order they can email me for an update.

Actually you ###, I asked you for a refund on the phone, the one time I got a hold of you (2 months after my order) to which you responded you would send me a mail order the same week. That was two months ago. I've sent to at least 25 emails, left you at least 20 voice mails to which you haven't responded to either.

So please don't sit here and make excuses as if you're oblivious to what's going on here.
I've also reported to you to your payment company, the BBB and I will twitter you later tonight. You are pretty well known for scamming people for several years now.

You two running this scam company should definitely quit smoking so much pot because it's obviously not working so great for you.

If there is anyone out there planning on ordering anything from www.Rollies.com - DON'T DO IT. They will take your money and you will never get what you ordered.

Hello
I did understand your frustration but we do state orders can go out of stock and we must await their arrival to get it, you can at anytime pick a substitute for an item you order or you can get a refund or you can await the order. If you choose to await the order then yes, it can take time sometimes upto 6 months for some items, this is beyond my control as I only get products to ship, I do not manufacture them or have the warehouse to order 100's of them as my scale supplier does. It happens and is apart of the business World, if you feel you can not wait I will offer a refund, I have never denied you of that at anytime, as we can not get the order therefore you choose what to do. As this order was out of stock, which we state does happen, we do apologize and your choice of what to do next is up to you. There is no need to report anything when you haven't even asked for a refund yet. This order is not closed as you have received your money back on your card. So there is no issue here anymore. All is good you have your money back and we never denied you of that option. So others can be assured if we can not get the order, pick something else or get the refund request in or await the order, if it becomes discontinued I will let you know.

Hi Real

I emailed you on this and we are talking via that method, as explained the item goes from out of stock, to waiting, waiting, etc, before my supplier finally declares it discontinued. It is not desired to have suppliers work this way but sadly they do. I have no control over this item being out of stock to then be discontinued. So we have work out what we are sending you instead which is very similar and a bonus item. So all is good if you allow me to get this all for ship out next week. Cheers,

"Roll" is a lying scam-artist plain and simple. I paid for a single item on Feb. 4, 2010 and it has now been over six months. I tried to contact him through e-mail and by phone numerous times and never received a reply. Soon as I posted a complaint he magically replied. I told him I'd take a replacement or even other items off his site just to get this whole ordeal over with. He sent me the picture of a replacement and I told him I would take that. That was the last response from him and this was in May. You should contact the Payment Merchants (GSPay.com and AlertPay.com). Hopefully this will result in higher fees for him or they will drop him.

We always work with people on orders, as stated one person I sent substitutions to one person the difference was a twist dugout instead of a slider as that was discontinued. He claimed it was not as good but it was a good. Sometimes, pieces become discontinued and that is something I can not control, so I have sent equal substitutes for them. Right now one of my supplier has been out of one style of dugout since February and every month they say this month, they state they have to find a new supplier and then it comes to them by boat which takes a long time. I can not control this or if glass is out of stock it could take months. We do state that if it occurs I can send a substitute or await for it as these people see I do. I do what I can to get orders out every week and will do so. If you are waiting for the order I am sorry, it does take us time to get orders out but we will and if not then we can offer a refund. Do not take this persons opinion to heart. Are products are great products, much better than that India stuff that is crappy glass, alot of this is Canadian Made Blown glass or USA Blown Glass, not that cheap stuff from overseas that falls apart and if we do we state this comes from India or China. You can continue doing business with us just read our FAQ we do not rush orders, as we deal with tons of suppliers, hence the delays and being a small company means no fast orders. Rest assured we will work with you on your order if you email me. Take care and do not worry.

Hahahahahaha I can't believe this dude still has people buying off of him. I see reports on here that go back to 2007. Tons of them. So if they didnt do anything to this guy before, why would they now? Point is, stop buying from this company people! They obviously do not have their shipping and customer service priorities in order. Always read reports before you do business online period. But by all means it is your money folks. Honesty is the best policy and there are many reliable sites out there that have excellent business and customer service morals and skills. From what i have heard and seen of rollies.com, as far as people i personally know, they recieved a totally different product and like 5-8 months late. He obviously sits around on sites like these, which he appears to do here (just look above here and on a bunch of other posts) yet can't seem to return e-mail's to the complaintant's. Stop feeding whatever scam this guy's running people. There are far better and honest sites out there that would love your business and have beautiful products that ARE AS PICTURED or in that style but just different colors. In the end fols, it is ridiculous to even think of buying from a company with this many complaint's spanning back 3 years. But it is your money, time, and suffering. lol

Rollies.com No response, no merchandise

I purchased a product from rollies.com on February 7, 2010. Immediately my card was charged but I still have not received my purchase. The website states that it can take up to 5 weeks for delivery. I have requested a status update on my order three different times and I have received no replies. I have also tried calling the number on the website numerous times and there has been no answer. This website is not legitimate and I would not purchase a product from Rollies.com. I am going to start the process of filing charges against the owner unless my item is shipped/exchanged in the next two weeks and I would recommend anyone else with the same problem to do the same. This man obviously does not care about his business or his customers.

Also I said I was willing to sub it with another piece. I asked him to send pictures of the pieces for me to look at. No response.

What a joke. I send multiple e-mails to the e-mail address listed on his website and receive no reply. I also call the phone number on his website, no reply. I post a complaint on a complaint board and I get a response. I have been checking on my order status since Feb. 4 when I ordered and it has always come up as ordered and paid for just not shipped. That is not the excuse he used when he e-mailed though. This guy is full of BS. I've been trying to clear this transaction up and he won't do it. I have moved now and have a different address. I sent him an e-mail stating he would need to contact me to get that address. Big shock he didn't respond. Whatever excuses you see posted on this website about how he has contacted the seller and smoothed everything out is absolutely false.

Hello as we state we do take care of orders even if they take longer than normal. The order Beverely made, I gave her an eta and in the end she wanted a refund and got it. I can only say, she could have easily awaited the order and it would have arrived with tracking. She called one day that I was not around but we did speak and though she could have gotten the orders she choose a refund and that was give. The 2nd comment, I only have 1 Florida order from that date but not that city, that order did not come if that is you. I am re-ordering it this week, for Mid-May. That should come to me then and out to you. You do not have to worry and if you feel you can not wait let me know via email you want a sub or refund. The last complaint, yes she was in contact with me many times, I told her it did not come, to finally being out of stock to discontinued. I never know what glass blower or companies or my suppliers are gonna discontinue on me without notice. They do that, this is the glass blowing industry for you. So I could not get the piece she wanted, and she asked for a refund when we spoke on the phone. She will recieve a money order in the mail, it was a shame the piece went disco but it happens. Sorry for any delays to you all we do take time with some orders due to numerous reason yet we will take care of you whichever way you choose. I am one guy here with many orders to take care of every week, rest assured I work hard and just email me. All is good.

The customer order a product from us and knew the order would take time to come. As she was no longer interested in the order we have refunded the order to her. She will see a full refund on her credit card. There was nothing wrong here other than she did not receive the order but knew it would not arrive till later. If you or anyone else can not wait for their order we will refund you via Money order or on your card in extreme emergencies. This customer has been REFUNDED. Do not worry we are legitimate, just someone jumping the gun here and as per their last message to me a refund was noted and given.

You should understand that you are contacting the wrong person. Any inquiries can go to me and not the cigar store, they are not same company. If you are missing your order or do not have an eta. Please email me again and if the product is out of stock we must await it to come back in stock. All orders go out but some take longer. Sorry if you are still waiting rest assured the order will ship.

Rollies.com Online scam

Ordered a pipe from them in May of 2008 - they took my money quickly enough and never shipped the merchandise. After emailing them, the responses were 'we are waiting for stock', then 'we can't getit to you because of President Bush', then 'we are almost out of business and are having trouble with our suppliers'.

DO NOT GIVE THESE THIEVES A DIME! YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR MERCHANDISE!

The person above, inquired about their order and I informed them that the protopipe poker was not instock yet but I did finally get it. As I deal with hundreds of orders a month and am a one man operation, I told the customer the order was among all the order and would go out to him soon. I accidently forgot to pull his order and run it off to the post office ahead of all the other orders, as I do get busy and being a small company I asked the customer to wait. I did apologize to him as well, at no time did he ask for a refund and as he wanted the order. I asked him to not worry, it would be mailed out with all the other orders and it would shipped soon, I just got busy with orders I forgot to asap it for him. It happens. I have alot of customers and I have always got priority orders. So instead of being patient, the customer seems to have decided to spread hate for no reason. Was his order that important he could not wait a few more weeks, and why post hate when he did not even ask for a refund first. In the end the customer was refunded and it is a shame he could not wait for the order that was ready to go out. Do not believe his post as it is not what most men do, they can respect a small company and not treat it as a large corporation. He had no reason to post the above information as he would have gotten his poker only a few weeks later than I was trying for. It happens, it is apart of my business to do what I can when I can but I can not do anything immediately or rushed orders and he knew this. So please do not believe his mean post.

Rollies.com Ripoff Scam Fraud

Hello all,

I would like to tell my complaint and warn everyone to stay away from rollies.com

Horrible experience from the beginning. Placed my order with rollies.com on Feb 16 2009. I saw the complaints on these boards a day AFTER I made my purchase. I read about all these people who were ripped off by rollies.com (Marlo Franson). many different customers who money was taken and never received the product or any responses from numerous emails and/or phone calls.

Well you can include me. It has been 8 weeks, 2 emails, and nothing from rollies.com (Marlo Franson) My goodness I can't believe rollies.com is ripping all these people off like this.

I sent an email asking for my order or a refund within a week.

Some previous rollies.com customers advised to contact rollies.com local police dept and press local charges for internet credit card fraud. I will do that and advise anyone in this situation to do the same.

I am one of the many paying rollies.com customer who never received my order. I just received a response from rollies.com (Marlo Franson) when I posted this complaint. This is this first time ever they have got back to me. Read through at the verbal abuse rollies.com (Marlo Franson) puts me and his other paying customers though.It's just plain sad. All we want is our order or a refund from rollies.com (Marlo Franson). We do not deserve this.

All I say is true. You rollies.com (Marlo Franson) are the liar and full of it. Like many of your rollies.com customers I have tried to contact you many times. 8 weeks and counting. I still have nothing from rollies.com at all.

I never left a fake number. I changed my phone number this Monday to avoid you trying to contact my home phone. Most of the people who submitted a complaint stated that rollies.com (Marlo Franson) will call your home number and ask that you change or delete your complaint.
I NEVER asked nor do want you to call me EVER.

I'm not a liar or would leave a fake number. Google the old number I left on file (if had it since Monday April 13th 2009). It will pull up my same home address. See... and that is where you should be shipping my order.

I demand an apology for calling me a liar and not contacting me concerning my order. I'm your paying rollies.com customer who never received anything from rollies.com (Marlo Franson) it's been 8 weeks.

Here the complaint I mentioned earlier. read her response.
/URL removed/

Their specific words were:
"I do personally find it odd however that they took the time to track me down and call me about this. First off my name wasn't on the order, my boyfriends was, and secondly his name wasn't on this report mine was. Which means they accessed his personal information to track down his girlfriend to simply tell her to remove or update a report."

This kinda scared me to know you would do that. So that is why I changed my home number.

Talk is cheap. You need to send me my order or issue me a refund.
I will update this...

It looks like rollies.com (Marlo Franson) is full of excuses and is blaming me for wanting my order.

This is the FIRST EVER response to me from rollies.com. and yes it's a shame that your dirt is being spilled on a very good consumer complaint website for all to see. But I'm not the only customer who has felt ripped off, scammed, or think that rollies.com is a fraud. Type rollies.com in a search engine and you'll find numerous of your paying customers just like me, who just wanted their order and nothing else. We all have the same problem with rollies.com. We all felt ripped off and wronged with our transaction with you rollies.com (Marlo Franson)

But as you can see rollies.com (Marlo Franson) is full of excuses and blames me for wanting my order or a refund. ( I placed my order 8 weeks ago)

But how am i wrong and untrue when there is no response from you at all? I've sent emails of concern to you and for you to contact me immediately via email if there is any issues with my order, and this was on February 19th and on February 27th 2009. You never contacted me at all. The sad thing is that there was never any response from rollies.com until I posted this complaint.

And stop making up excuses on how I could picked up a phone to have got a quicker response from you. Most of the rollies.com customer complaints is that you don't answer your phone and you don't call customers back.
It seems that filing a complaint is the quickest and ONLY WAY to get a response from you!

I want is my order fulfilled or a refund.

I will update this...

I ordered a pipe in november '08 and it did'nt come for a month and a half so i thought i would call, and there was no answer but they returned my call and the ' Rollguy' said it is on back order that it would be there the next week or early the week after, well needless to say, here we are. So after doing verry little research I have found that Two guys run the site and they play the middle men for wholesale companies. So the reason it takes so long is that those shady liars have to get up enough money to get a deal. The thief's name is Marlo Franson and he lives in vancouver, you can most likely find him in comedy clubs on open-mic nights, espesially Yuk Yuk's. He is a short( 5'3-5'7) fat bald man with black hair and goat-tee, he looks like a cross between George Castanza from Seinfeld and Julian from the canadian hit show Trailer Park Boys... Happy Hunting!

I purchased items on 9/10, that's right, 6 weeks ago. I have heard nothing and when I check my order it says its not shipped. I sent an email and there was no response. I realize they are a small shop but this is ridiculous. If you can't handle the orders, don't be in business. 6 weeks to not even have it packed yet is beyond ludicrous. I am going to contact my credit card company to contest the charges. I guess these guys hope people wait to long and can't make a claim. I can't help but wonder how many people out there never got anything and have no recourse. Wish I had seen this complaint board before I bought.

I ordered a week or 2 before Christmas. a month later I started looking into trying to get a refund even though after reading about the website it seemed impossible. 2 days after requesting a refund from rollies.com, they EMAILED me saying they wish people would stick to their orders because they pay for refunds and that it takes so long for them to order because they order from other vendors...

whatever.

I got a package from them 3 weeks later. I have to pick it up today. fingers crossed.

I made an order at rollies.com 13 months ago, have talked to the guy 3 times now(1 man operation he says). Everytime I have he says sorry for the long wait but he dosn't carry any products and has to pick them up from 4 different warehouses, and only goes to one once a week. He said he'll be taking care of my order and it will be shipped in a week or two. That was probably 8 months ago, 5 months ago, and 1 month ago I got ahold of him through email, he says the same exact thing, it still hasn't came, now he's stopped returning my email's, he never awnser's the phone, or returns calls when you leave a message. This is the worst company i've ever dealt with, I hope this guy gets shut down and put in jail!

If anyone would like to contact Marlo Franson, here is his personal phone number: [protected]. However I should warn you that does to his short and chunky stature, he is not very pleasant to speak to, nor is he very smart. He will probably lie to you, but do not believe a word he is saying. This man is simply a middle-aged loser who will never ship your product. Hope this helps.

Rollies.com did not receive product yet paid 6 weeks ago

six weeks ago I made a purchase with rollies.com, to this day i still have not received my purchase. I sent multiple emails and made multiple calls with no response. After 5 weeks of no response I sent an email threatening to go after these people for a refund. Well this got a response, they were sick and could not work due to the flu. So they asked me to be patient as they would get to it right away. Well two weeks latter I still have not received my purchase and no response to the emails I have sent or phone calls I have made. With this in mind I highly recommend avoiding this company or you will be ripped off.

The customer was told the order was out of stock and was updated weekly on status on when his order might arrive. I did everything in my power to get this order but when Vaporgenie takes time to build and send orders and my suppliers are waiting a month or more on shipment I am forced to wait as well. This customer knew this even though I was suffering from the Flu I told him it would come. There was no reason for this complaint, as he was constantly updated and when it finally came in we mail it out when we could. It is a shame this happened but that is life of product selling, stock issues. Nothing more to this than that, we did nothing wrong and are happy to say this customer got what he ordered and hopefully will update this to reflect as such.

Rollies.com Ridiculous site

Rollies is a ridiculous site. My boyfriend and I ordered from them in August and have yet to receive our order and it's nearing the end of October. We ordered over 200$ worth of stuff and so far not even one package has been sent out. We've conversed a few times with the people only to get basically pushed to the side and told our orders will be shipped soon. After reading the fine print on the site, it gives an estimate of how long orders will take, and even gives an estimate of how long it will take if the product is out of stock. Well, having been so frustrated my boyfriend and I have added and re-added the longest possible time it was estimated to take and it clearly doesn't take this long, even if every single item were out of stock. I've read other posts on this site and other posts on rollies site and people have reported similar problems, but assure people they did eventually receive their orders so I don't want to go on saying they'll rip of your money and not send your product because they very well could eventually send mine.

I'm simply saying their site is beyond bad service and even if the product is in perfect condition when it finally comes, it's not worth the wait and frustration you must go through to get it. If Rollies can't take on as many order as they take in, they should limit the amount they do in order to please and satisfy all of their customers because I personally wont re-use their site OR refer it to anyone simple because of the excessively long wait I've endured. My bf actually picked out those pieces over a month before my birthday in September, and it's almost his birthday in November and they still aren't here, and I can bet they wont be here by his bday either. So in conclusion lol don't order from their, I actually order some from grasscity since my first order has yet to arrive and grasscity has already shipped them and I just order them yesterday!

I stated I would refund you today and that will reflect on the card very soon. However, you stated you cancelled the card so a Money order will be sent and I will cancel the refund on the card. We are telling the truth. The Money order will be sent out next week. We are a good company. All is well.

The person, Heather, has no reason to state the above information. Do not believe her misinformation and falsehoods, she did not receive her order but never emailed to inquiry about it. If she had or asked for a refund she would have received it, we take care of customers and sometimes orders are delayed months due to stock issues. If one can not wait then a refund or a change in order is optional. The person, Heather has been refunded and if she asked it would have been easy to do, without writing meanness. We believe all should be good in life and speak good there is no need to be negative and we are here. So give us a call and if no answer try again another day, send an email or two and we will get back to you or you will soon receive your order. All is well, Rollies is a great company, and people do get their orders, do not listen to her advice it is wrong.

This person got her order. She knew it was on the way when she made this complaint but still she got it. It is unfortunate she did not update this account stating as such but she was not in any way deprived of her order. She even stated she likes what she got and all is well. She did not have to make this complaint but for some reason did so because the order was late. Late orders do not mean you will not get the order. We have to wait for stock issues, such as out of stock, Keep in mind alot of my suppliers orders from overseas and they send to them by boat and this takes a long time to get back in stock. Stock issues are the only issue we tend to deal with.
