Received my gb2 trap holster w/ the 3" belt loop holes today! Just like everything else I have received from Franchesky it is amazing! I own several of his leather items, and metal items...and everything is top notch!

On July 1, 2016 I e-mailed Franchesky for a trap. I bought the full package for $80+shipping.

On July 2, 2016 I received the invoice and paid.

On July 19, 2016 I emailed Franchesky asking for an update. He quickly replied (within 2 hours) that the estimated fabrication and shipping is 7-30 days from the date payment was received.

On August 15, 2016 I emailed Franchesky asking for an update. He replied within 30 minutes that he was expecting to finish them that week and I could expect a photo.

It is now September 10, 2016 and I haven't received any further updates or photos from Franchesky. I just sent him an email asking for an update. I must say that I'm very disappointed with how long this is taking, and even more so at the lack of updates. I will post an update when I hear back.

It's been 9 days since my last post on this forum and I wanted to provide the promised update:

Sep 10: At 3:36 PM, I got a reply from Franchesky saying he sent out several orders the week before and he had more ready for shipping. He promised to "look at my file" and update me later that night.

Sep 11: at 6:03 PM he sent a photo of the holster and battery V-hook. He did not tell me when it would ship or how much longer I would have to wait for it.

Sep 19: I sent an email asking when I should expect to receive the holster and V-hook that I paid for 79 days ago. This is more than DOUBLE the time to ship that I was quoted. The fact that other orders went out before mine did tells me that either Franchesky forgot about my order and is dragging me along or that several other customers are experiencing delays in their orders as well.

I can forgive delays in an order provided there is clear and consistent communication. Franchesky has not provided that, instead opting to tell me that it was finished in a July 19th email but has yet to actually send it out.

Franchesky, send out my items. Reply to this comment and explain what the hold up is.

This is par for the course. His work is absolutely amazing but his communication is not. Like you, I really didn't care how long it took but being strung along and lied to is more than frustrating. You'll get your stuff and it will be top notch. You'll just have to wait for who knows how long till you get it.

Very great quality! I bought a matty trap conversion and trap holster from Franchesky and everything fits perfectly and looks awesome! The wait was pretty long, longer than expected and worth the wait. For the most part the communication was pretty good, could've been a bit better, nonetheless all my emails were responded to and I received my stuff!

Thanks Franchesky!

So, has anyone heard from this guy? I payed him $450+S for some goggles over a year ago now. Communication was good up until early November when he said the goggles would be done and shipped by the end of the month, and I haven't heard from him or been able to get a reply via e-mail or Facebook since. Noticed he logged in here in early February.

There was a recent update in his sale thread which indicated Anhcon had gone through some extreme circumstances in his personal life, which had had a knock-on effect on the prop parts he was making. There's no indication yet when he'll be resuming things.

Boys, don't know anymore to who to address. I explain you...
In the 20 April of 2015 I have bought from "franchesky garay" some parts in aluminum for the proton pack and for the proton gun. The pieces for the pack have arrived but the proton gun has never been expeditious.
We've always talked to facebook until this summer where he took time and told me he could send me the gun as soon as possible. He said the gun was ready, but from July 2017 he did not answer me and sent me the gun I paid for. I spent the $ 1.137.00 beauty and wanted to point out that today, October 30, 2017, I wrote another message and did not answer me. Paypal can no longer help me because it's been too long, so ... what can I do? Can you help me get my money or still have the one I paid for?

[canpara]

Sorry to hear that, my friend. I too have been waiting nearly two years to receive my order. I had the same issue with PayPal as well.

I would like to point out that there is already a thread about this in the "For Sale" forum at viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43059. I would recommend continuing the conversation in there.

[piero1985]

Thank you so much!

[abaka]

Nothing anybody here can do. He's already stopped visiting the forum back in February. I think people just need to give up.

Posts merged with the existing topic for Franchesky.

A little earlier, a post had been submitted containing contact details for Franchesky, however following consultation with AJ, I have removed that post and request that the contact details not be posted again.

Hello I am reaching out to see if there are any victims of Franchesky garay still out here. Anchon designs. He took people’s money in return for ghostbusters related items that he never delivered. Although the statute of limitations for goods not received is only 4 years, I may be able to help you get some money back. He also stole from me recently. And I would appreciate any help so that I can try to get funds back for you in a separate lawsuit that I am filing. Please message me if interested in pursuing this further.
