Dope pipe. Sucks about the customer service, but at least you got it.
This is true, but he has been notoriously bad at communication with other members here as well.Some commissioned pipes take a crazy long time.
Hey bro...never was "a few years of backed up orders". It was a long wait. See my post.7months, ouch. Does he take full payment up front of time of order?
I have a buddy that has a Joe Case poker, he is some what happy with it.
Joe has done a good job of building up a very hyped name when it comes to his pokers, seems like he has a few years of backed up orders.
Have either one of you guys received your pipes yet?
Welcome to the BOTL.org forum!Gentleman,
I just happened upon these posts.
First, let me say that I totally take responsibility for the long wait time. In my first couple of years I got so many orders so fast and I should have cut them off. I didn't, and that was my bad.
Yes, this kept me incredibly busy. I left my full time employment to begin operating my pipe making business full time. I had a ton of work to catch up on. I was extremely flattered that so many would want my pipes.
Regarding communication, I ALWAYS answered emails that I ACTUALLY received. I also sent numerous emails...even including custom videos of me explaining what was going on with my list and wait time.
I did stop taking orders in September of last year in order to completely catch up with my orders...which has been done. I have begun taking orders again...BUT...on a limited time and number basis (I learned my lesson).
I am humbled at the rave reviews I have received on my pipes...see the testimonies on my website...www.joecasepipes.com. I also know there will be an unhappy and vocal customer...any business has that.
Again, I apologize for the past wait time. I just hope (as MANY told me) it was worth the wait.
Sincerely,
Joe Case
