PSA
Beware of doing business with Detecting Doodads. I placed an order 3 weeks ago and paid for priority shipping. After a week of no tracking info(or any communication at all), I sent a message inquiring about my order. No response. Sent several more messages thru his website, thru Facebook and via his email..no response. After 2 weeks I opened a dispute via PayPal and sent messages that way..no response. I then began digging the internet for a phone number. I found one, went to a metal detecting shop that is not affiliated with him but close to his location, and they had several stories to tell about people having the same issue I was. I then found info on a forum about several people having the same issue. Still digging I located a number and called, it was his wife. She was very nice and listened, assured me she would have him call me. I texted her the next day when I hadn't heard from him and told her I would call the sheriffs office(yes, I know I had no case), within 1 min he messaged thru PayPal saying he would ship this week and would give me a 50% refund plus shipping. I told him thanks for reaching out, that all I wanted was the items I had paid for.
Well, still no tracking info or communication. So I text his wife apologizing for having to involve her and tell her I will be calling authorities Friday morning if I haven't gotten tracking info, I didn't want the 50% refund, just send me the products. 5 minutes later, a refund from PayPal for purchase amount and my order canceled.
Complete scam artist and not much of a man in my opinion. Another dude is texting your wife and you don't have the guts to take over the conversation.
Just don't want anyone else going thru the same.
If you have, message me and I'll gladly share the number so you can hopefully get it resolved.
