Topic: Maker geeks

From the 3d printing nerd you tube channel

as of August 19, 2018, I cannot recommend purchasing from Makergeeks. I've received NUMEROUS complaints of orders not fulfilled, missing parts of orders, wrong product being delivered, and horrible customer service. Until I can make contact with Makergeeks and find out what is happening, I would stay away from them and find another place to purchase your filament from.

the main problem here seems to be there is no contact information on there web page.

It's not worth it! I'm a pretty skilled gamer and that's a fact. Yeah, I have great news for the people like me. I found out how to play at https://free-nodeposit-spins.com/. It's all about the slots.

Re: Maker geeks

That is a very good question .  they ere having issues meeting demand. and producing product. IIRC neaer the first of the year he hired help and was trying to get back o track. Unfortunately the accusation of being a scam site and the BBB complaints may have been to much of a hurdle  if you search the net his site does not even come up . would be a shame to see him go under.

Re: Maker geeks

I found this doing a google search: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/com … shut_down/

following the suggestion of one of the commenters, I went to the MO business filings site, and searched for the suggested names...

http://soliforum.com/i/?3nHk9Qw.png

so it would appear that "MakerGeeks" is done, but they intend to continue under another name.
All I can say is, caveat emptor...

Re: Maker geeks

sadly it happens often everywhere as most people dont know whats involved in running any business successfully long term. seen it lots of times when I lived near Lake of the Ozarks MO as seasonal tourists saw lots of money being made but didnt understand its only about half the year then gotta live off that income till next season too and maintain everything plus employee turn over. and many think they can blow excess income on toys instead of re-invest in business and pay off debts a few years while learning how much income is truly excess. most the businesses they see have everything paid off due to being there many years and no mortgage or Business loans with monthly interest. and BBB complaints must be resolved timely or your soon gone. this is only na issue in the USA so immigrants dont know better either. My Dad & Grandfather had Businesses their whole life and I had lots of people try to get me into one but I saw the headaches 1st hand & didnt want it. plus be ready for about 10% noncollectable customer accounts receivable that  collectors take most of what you turn over to them if any so just tax write offs that your income has to cover. its like having another large family to support and deal with 247.
