The fact that this guy still gets business makes me understanf why the Tories are still in power in the UK. Because people are very very very thick!

I purchased through Etsy, and I can't tell you how many times I went back and combed over his page trying to see if it was a duplicate of the real BoK Etsy page and that I had fallen for a con. I was convinced I wasn't when I cancelled my order and was then banned from his FB page.

It makes me worry about how this person's behavior is affecting the perception of this fan community at large. He has a heavy presence on etsy and I've wondered how many people out there have been treated to this same pattern whom we don't know about / who don't post here?The folk that are blacklisted are all people who've had accounts on here. BoK doesn't do anything outside of his Facebook group and etsy, so the best adding him to the blacklist here would be a "buyer beware" for people who use these forums. Because he refunds anyone who complains and had purchased through etsy they then lose the ability to leave any feedback there, so he has a page full of glowing reviews instead of the truth of some buyer's experiences.

I've only ordered something small and I'm in the UK but this doesn't sound goodI've been following this thread for a while and as far as I can tell it's only larger items that some people have had trouble with (pack kits etc). If you've only ordered something small you'll probably be fine. I'm in Australia, I ordered a V-Hook kit in 2020.

This was ordered 26th September and only had notice of it being shipped when I nudged the guy after 20 days.Unless he's stepped his game up very recently his 3D prints need a lot of post-processing, so be prepared for that.
The wand is crap. No where near the quality nickatron produced and holes are badly made.
Sent him an email and he says he'll send a 3d one tomorrow. When he supposedly had supplier issues.
This is my fault, should have checked the feedback here first.

On the 17th of July 2022 I purchased his Full size Trap and pedal kit 3D printed/cables package on Etsy, with it being marked as dispatched on the 1st of September 2022. On the 11th of November I reached out to ask what the shipping time was, and was told the courier said about the 18th. That date came and went, and I reached out again on the 28th of December. A little back and forth, and on the 19th I was told the courier asked for 24 hours so they can speak to the depot. I reached out again on the 19th of January after not hearing anything back, and was given a trans global tracking number that matched my city. This tracking number expired after 30ish days never moving from the label has been created. On February 14th I was messaged saying something about sales tax questions, and that it would be delivered early next week. March 23rd I was told it was sent back to them, and it's been sorted for delivery on the 7th. April 19th was messaged for a follow up, with talk about how there was no sales tax after going back and forth. Last message was sent to me on May 2nd, saying the package was due to arrive in the next 48 hours, this time I didn't reply as I was busy.I'll tell you exactly what's going on.... He hasn't made your kit yet, so as a way of biding time and making it look like it's not his fault, he's feeding you a steaming pile of bullshit. This is what he does time and time again and yet he is STILL getting away with it, all while keeping his orders open so he can collect as much cash as possible.
I'm not exactly sure whats going on, other than what I have read on this thread (and I really wish I had read this thread before I bought) I'm still kinda hopeful that it will arrive one day.

The problems I do have are almost always the senders and receivers fault… snow has given me few monkeys wrenchesHighly unlikely, as they'll all have been changed to varying degrees. I seem to recall someone saying a while back an Anovos didn't fit a Mack's idealised shell, not sure about his legacy shell. Plus the BoK mobo is fitted to his specific shell, which uses the very old Stefan Otto plans, which we know are inaccurate to varying degrees. I can 100% guarantee it's not a good fit for any of the three packs you listed.
Anovos , hasbro and Mack factory are all based on the same shell. One motherboard should fit all of them in theory
