And opened a new company page where the negative reviews are growing and the owner is trying to calm the irate people down.
Don't worry bro just email us for the bad news - You are 12th in the queue with no eta in sight that anyone in the queue will ever get paid, no biggie :confused:

LOL, then he must have blocked me. Left a review NOT recommending the service.
 

What Happened?​


Not that I owe anyone an explanation except affected customers, but here we go...


(If someone could copy this to Carb since that guy trying to get a free battery got me banned—he still hasn’t contacted me about his so-called issue, by the way.)


TL;DR: I ****ed around, got ****ed around and now I'm finding out​



2023​


  • May: Battery business is booming, so we decide to buy a house.
  • June/July: Go all-in on the battery business, taking out a large bank loan and borrowing from family.
  • June/July: Money is tight due to the house purchase and moving expenses, but I have a big consignment of batteries incoming (hence the address change—updating it everywhere is nearly impossible).
  • July/August: The battery market collapses—zero pre-order sales.
  • August: Sell a large quantity to an online retailer at a loss, hoping for future orders. Instead, they were just stocking up until their own branded units arrived.
  • August: Discover the realtor and house seller lied—no approved plans exist, only outdated ones from 1969. The house has undergone major structural changes.
  • September: Battery consignment arrives with massive shipping and VAT costs. I pay VAT using a personal loan and negotiate a payment plan for shipping.
  • December: Unable to pay the business loan. Another loan from my parents keeps Scott’s Shipping Services (SSS) afloat.


2024​


  • January: No battery sales, and SSS is slow due to "Januworry." Can't pay the shipping installment.
  • February: Previous house owners sue us over a retained amount we withheld until the house plans were sorted.
  • February: Get a job on a 3-month trial contract.
  • April: Work hard, but my contract isn’t renewed (the company has a reputation for screwing over staff—believe me or not, this part wasn’t my fault).
  • May: Courier partners start withholding shipments due to overdue payments. Here’s where I admit—I lied. I didn’t place some customer orders to keep previous ones moving.
  • June: Depression kicks in. I start drinking too much (been dealing with diagnosed mental health issues for years) and barely look at work.
  • July: Courier stops all shipments until payment is settled. I panic and decide to liquidate.
  • July: Can’t afford lawyers to file for liquidation, so no legal steps are taken.
  • July: Architect report confirms R2M in structural repairs needed for the house. Realtor and sellers refuse responsibility.
  • November: Beat the lawsuit from the sellers and countersue them and the realtor for damages.
  • July–December: Depression, drinking, downward spiral.
  • November/December: Another loan from my parents keeps SSS running.


2025​


  • January: Return from holiday (next post = rant mode), finally sell most battery stock at a huge loss.
  • January: Lawsuit against sellers and realtor moves forward; they deny responsibility, so we have to take it to high court.
  • January/February: Start rebuilding SSS and repairing its reputation.
  • March: Here we are.


The Plan​


  1. Get back to doing what I’m actually good at—running and marketing an e-commerce store. Sales = cash flow. (You’ll notice website updates, and yes, ads are running. Since you guys interact with my site, they’re actually working targeting you.)
  2. Pay off courier partners (currently using an alternate account, so no online tracking for now).
  3. Pay off the payment provider—chargebacks happened (hence only offering EFT payments, which also saves a ton on credit card fees).
  4. Pay off accountants/auditors—VAT and year-end filings are overdue (expecting fines later).

These are secured creditors—they can come after me more easily, and they’re crucial to keeping the business running.


  1. Refund customers—I fully intend to pay back everyone affected, but there’s just no money right now. My personal finances are maxed out—loans, credit cards, overdraft. Even selling my house wouldn’t cover the issues.
  2. Negotiate with the bank.


Battery Support​


Battery support will continue, but only in a personal capacity until I run out of parts. Lifepower is dead and isn’t coming back.



Final Thoughts​


That’s where I (and SSS) stand.

See the next post for ranting you can get mad about.
