Hello Andrew,

I see your still misrepresenting your story trying to garner support
and slam us.

Allow me to correct you once again with the facts.

You were charged a additional shipping cost amount that represented
the difference between what the carrier you demanded we use charged and
what our normal carrier would have charged. You were ask to provide
other than a P.O. box address that we could provide free shipping to
using our carrier and you refused, demanding that your alternate carrier
be used. You did not have to accept the amended offer, but you did and
then started your harassment campaign at a later date.

Your flawed contention, that because we advertised Free shipping
without specifying a particular shipping method, we are obligated to use
whatever method you choose, has been rejected by all parties that you
have tried to involve. By your twisted logic we should have ship
overnight by hand courier if that's what you demanded.

Your childish BBB harassment attempt WAS responded to by us. After
we had explained our position the case was closed by the BBB due to your
unreasonable position. Not that the truth has ever stop your silliness
before, but we have copied the "case closed" e-mail we received from the
BBB below so you can refresh your memory.

As for your unfounded jab at the quality of our products, our
feedback on ebaY that is over 2500 strong speaks much louder than your
embellished whining over $4.00 does.

No I don't have an interest in the place, I just ran across these and am
going to purchase one my self.



I'd stay away from Antenna Warehouse if I were you. I bought one of their
antennas after they offered free shipping. When I paid for it and
asked to have
it shipped USPS, they asked for $4.50 for shipping, claiming that
although the
auction didn't specify that they would only ship free via UPS, they
had the
right to charge me more because I didn't want the item delivered to
my house.

I filled a complaint with the BBB and they didn't reply to it, so it's on
record with them as well. Also, with their antennas, you get what you
pay for.
http://www.buxcomm.com has good antennas for reasonable prices.

Dont waste your time with ANDY, He is just a born loser.

Your childish BBB harassment attempt WAS responded to by us.

It's called consumer rights, not harrassment. The last letter sent to you by
the BBB went unresponded to. Besides, you are the one that harrassed me by
sending me threatening email, then when I blocked one email address, you sent
me more threatening email from another email address.

As for your unfounded jab at the quality of our products

I have one of your antennas. It's very shaky . The top of the antenna (it's a
dualband vertical) didn't even have any kind of cap to keep out water. I had to
rig something up myself.

Unfortunatly I don't seem to have the final email from them anymore, saying the
case was closed without a reply from the last email. I do believe I got
something in the mail from the BBB saying that there was no reply from the
company.
