Someone in Kelowna know Ted@ Terra Alps?

[chumbilly1]

good luck

If you are from the states you dont have a small claims type coarse of action,
I got ripped off by a canadian company in the loghome business and had to just suck it up. Ted does build some nice sh**!

 

[m8magicandmystery]

Man, I still cannot believe that Ted has not made any call backs, emails or posted on these threads. Something has GOT to be up. Nobody in their right mind would show such disregard for their own bread and butter. My understanding is that this is Ted's sole occupation, and publicity like this is not good for business. Has anyone from Kelowna seen this guy or stopped by his shop lately? m8magicandmystery, you seem like you're "pro-Ted". Have you seen or heard from him lately?

At first, I thought that these posts were just a way of building a fire under a lazy mans a$$, then it turned into a correspondence issue. But now, I can see things going really sideways. This guy is not showing ANY intentions of contacting his customers, providing the contracted work or refunding the deposited money or parts. I am just sitting here waiting for the first guy to file a small claims. It wouldn't last 10 minutes in front of a judge. I mean Jeeezus, what is wrong with this guy? Surely he has got to realize he needs some damage control.

m8magicandmystery, you seem like you're "pro-Ted". Have you seen or heard from him lately?

actually i emailed him about four days ago in regard to what my peak rpm should be with my bigbore...he responded next day..made a few recommendations for clutching...was happy all was well so far with my sled and said he has been working very late..i have never seen him...l live 1800 miles away from him..thats all ..

 

[m8magicandmystery]

I've read your posts before. You have always seemed like a square guy. Why would you post something like this?

~Rookie

i wasn;t referring to them as a couple but as a team that was seeking the same solution..??

 

[stonehands]

Hey M8 magicman. Hows the snow in AK?

 

[Leaf27]

what ya referring to there crf...???....a little gang bang...been a while for both of ya..

Well all i can say is for $4000.00 I better get something that looks better than Ted and doesnt pee standing up.

 

[my dog skip]

glad i could add some gas to the fire boys! now who has there sled yet????? i have a spare crazy carpet and a rope! if that helps you out at all!

 

[longhairfreak]

Bruce from PSI and Ted should team up. Funny (or sad) thing is Snowest members would be lined up to get work done.

Not me. I like to ride. Plus I'd run out of money and my feet would hurt.

CRFred,

when Ted re-nigged on his promise to you the last time, did he give you a date on when he planned on delivering (or falling down again) on his commitment? I think you're going on well over a month and promise number 4 now. I am curious to see how long he puts off his customers, and how many promises he can make and not deliver on. He has a lot of money being tied up. I know you put 4 grand on the table. Rookie has a ton of dough sitting there in parts and pieces, and I have not noticed anyone but Ashman saying they have received any product from Ted. I know that a LOT of motor and chassis work can go out the door in over a month, especially when Ted is supposedly working 14 hour days.

FYI: Rookie still hasn't got a return phone call or email saying jack about his sled.

I most likey won't ever get my sled back after this! This has gone too far!

Here goes.* I thought you all should see how Ted treats a customer who put money down monthts ago.* He will not call.* You all know this.* I was in Valemount last weekend which is 8 hours closer to Kelowna then home for me.* Every day prior do that for two weeks straight I called and left messages saying I'm gonna be close and would like to pick up.* He e-mails me the day I'm sledding saying that my cylinders need to be re-plated again.* Yet in October he said he had them back and was ready to assemble.* I have also heard that a customer has cancelled funds sent to him because of this type of crap he pulls with us.* So I e-mailed again pretty mad and told him to get it running and to ride it to make sure it is in working order.*** As you can see he also calls me crazy and makes personal comments of what he thinks my finacial status is.* This tops the cake boys.
QUOTE"ride the **** out of it, I'm sure my guys would love to bag on it,* maybe this weekend?email? when you were close? are you feeling ok? maybe you should see a shrink? sneaky? wow man you have no idea? like I care who is where and when. I have too much work to give a ****. We have been working til 12 every night and 1:30am fri and sat. count the hrs.whats my money is good his is bad? what ya talking about?if it ain't done right why would I want to put it together to have you toast it 20 miles later and ***** at me. either its done right or not at all. don't worry can't wait to get it done. I don't plan on making a large bill, I didn't get the idea you had money pouring out of your pockets when i met ya.*Thanks Ted,"* END OF QUOTE
Just to fill y'all in I made a comment on a customers money being bad, not in any way his. He also called Ashman and asked if he was riding with me.* He knew in every way I was close by.* He even asked me if I was picking up in the past e-mail, yet never called to say it was done.* It must have not been, cause now he can't wait to get it done?* He sure is chasing his own tail here! He is making this WAY too personal now.

Hey M8 magicman. Hows the snow in AK?

actually the Yukon...next door nieghbour to Alaska..the snow was incredible...got a chinook for a few days then rain that knocked the snow down...but now is back to - 30 and some fresh snow...so overall a good snow year...but cold cold most of the year so far..

Thats why nobody is getting their sleds back. Ted says do it right or dont do it at all. Ever seen his sleds go? He cant do it.

Now I know why Ted gets so much business, its his charming personality !!!!!

Talked to Ted last night. He said the tunnel had to be strengthend in a couple areas. It is supposed to go to powder coated today.

 

[SHMO]

Are you F'in Kidding me?

He promises to deliver your sled on 3 different occasions. Then, he says the tunnel hasn't even gone out for powder coat???????

Man, this guy is a piece of work. The longer this thread runs, the more unbelievable it gets. Anyone that makes promises like that, the whole time knowing that it's impossible to deliver on, is nothing but a liar and a thief.

Now, if I could only convince Rookie to put the ether down and realize it's time for his survival instint to kick in, maybe he could salvage some of his sled and get it together for a nice spring ride....haha

I'm sorry for you guys, sincerely I am.

SHMO

PS: Rookie, I got time. I have a trailer, you have a sled deck, we both know the way there. It is only 4 hours away, and there isn't even any snow in the pass. Just say "yo" and I'll be ready like a hot machette!

Yup, pretty much at a loss for words.

i know ive needled ya a bit etc..but ya i do feel for ya...i wish you was closer and i would sure try to hook ya up with a sled and some rides..well i hope its a gem of all gems when ya get it back...you deserve that at least..i take pleasure in my sled winter and summer..yep ya missed out on a winter...just maybe..just maybe..you have been spared from something bad happining...its a sad way to look at it...but hell if i was in your shoes it would be the only thing that would make me feel even half decent...

 

[shiznitt100]

sorry to hear of your luck guys. it is hard to find good guys to do your work or help you out. my best opinion is to research the sh#t out of it and do it your self if you are able to, i have done my own s/c and head shim on apex, lots of wiring on cats and so on. i am also auto mechanic so maybe it makes it easier, not sure. but this s not the way you want to run a company nor want your name put out there. i do know what you guys are going through as i have had issues with my own stuff that no one can answer. hope it works out for ya.
