Surely it was a dick move to keep taking orders even though you knew you were in a tight spot? Not cool.

Exactly. Took my money without hesitation. Can't tell me as a business owner you don't know you're in trouble until the day of liquidation order

Good Day

Apologies for the delayed response, I was out of the country and unexpectedly did not have comms while away.

You can ignore the update mails, not sure what the website did while I was away! Awaiting dispatch from the seller.

Kind Regards
SSS Team

Must have known this was coming for a while. Not cool to string customers along and BS about a holiday

Not making excuses for the dude but I've seen this a couple of times before. People try and push ahead and hope that if they keep going they might overcome the setback. Sometimes a setback is impossible to overcome and it can be very hard to accept it, especially if its something you created.

I will probably stand corrected at some point but ja, I think the stress of seeing your company go down the tubes makes you do some pretty desperate things to convince yourself that everything's OK when the ship is in fact sinking.
Also cannot blame the guy for the downturn too much, he was operating in a cut-throat industry.

Just saying:

Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

And I was REALLY stupid, no excuses and I'll reply to posts in the next few days. I'm with lawyers and accountants trying to figure this all out because I have no idea.

Are there ANY items in customs? Can ANYONE expect their deliveries?
 
Another raru situation. Taking people's money even though you know there's trouble.
 
He can still bounce back from this ... many companies do.

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
 
Sorry to all the folks who lost some money here :( Hope you can get something back
