Humidor from Waxing Moon With problems.

[Swif]

Thanks for sharing your experience with this vendor, I am all for outing scammers. Sorry to hear how things went down, while surely you could have done more research, I will not pile on as I'm sure you've already learned your lesson

That is the point, to let others know about waxing moon.

It is a shame to hear how you have been treated. IMO there is no excuse for sloppy workmanship. Having less than 10 fingers has not effected me for the past 17 years at Humidor building. Anyone who makes a product with wood can have 'problems' that were unforeseen. The issue is how one responds. As a HumiButcher I too have had issues [rarely but some] and 'took
the bull by the horns' got the humidor back and got matters straightened out to the buyers satisfaction. No one is perfect, but avoiding the problem and failing to satisfy someone whose money you accepted is wrong.

Waxing moon has clearly not responded as what was expected. I gave him plenty of time. Thank you for your statement.

swift, ArlinLiss makes custom built humidors for people and anyone who's been around has heard of him and knows he's one of the best, you should have done some research before throwing your money away. I don't know where you found this "WaxingMoons" guy but how does that old saying go?

I found waxing Moon at CA. I also seen his work at BOTL. I did not seen any bad commits about his work. All his work looked good and mostly on CA the people raved about their humidors from him. So I felt with the research on those two forums he was a good builder. then I get the humidor, give him a chance to make right, then request a refund and I am here. The difference now is I am talking about and if this cause no one to buy humidors from him that is his fault. I am still out the money, but others will not have to face what I did. If people think I am full of shit then can supper Ed and maybe I get my money back. So if I am a sucker then be it. but this sucker is try to help get the information out of the poor humidor builder that other seem to protect on the forums. So hang me for looking out for others.

swif - unfortunately, you hung yourself. This is not an issue that you were ripped off because you received something other than what was advertised. Waxing moon has made it clear he's a "hobbiest" woodworker trying to make a few bucks off his hobby - not a professional humidor maker. He clearly is trying to build his skills at the expense of his customers. Because people are lining up (including you) to buy his humidors, should be no reason for you now to take issue with waxing moon over what you expected. It is a hand built humidor, made of exotic woods. Sorry it turned out to be an opaque diamond when you expected flawless.

truth be known - everyone at one time or another made a similar bad choice. It would be awfully nice for wm to make it right with you, but it appears he does not have the cash flow to make that happen.

if it makes you feel any better - my father, a life long woodworker (carpenter) said he could not produce what waxing moon made. Despite its flaws, he thinks it's a decent specimen.

I have no idea who waxing moon is, other than he made about a dozen posts here several years ago. What I'm now reading is interesting - and reinforces why I like to chase the amateur humidor builders off this board when they try to setup their lemonade stand. You've confirmed what I suspected several years ago - I will never buy a humidor from him. Thanks for the heads up...

Since WaxingMoons is a member here, it might be interesting to get his side of the story. I honestly have no recollection of WaxingMoons here but I may have been too quick to condemn him based only on swift's side of the story.

Someone ought to get him to come over here and show him this thread. If he wants to take issue with any of swift's statements, it might be a good idea for him to do just that.

I don't know Swif. I don't know anything about the company he/she ordered a humidor from. I don't know anything about said humidor. However, from reading a very recent post I do know Ole Swiffey is full of shit. Too much good stuff going on in this forum for you to stink it up. Go Away!

If its too early for a newb like me to call someone out...sorry. I hate liars and cheats!

Unfortunately Ed has made this his full time job with a shop and other workers. He has buyers at other forums to keep him in business. I would have had not problem if he just fixed the concerns I had when he said he would. My goal was to bring this out to others looking to him for builds. There are some people that have had the same problem.

That would be great for him to comment on any of the post I have made. He can fell free to post any email I have sent him.

Point out any post that I am lying in. Like you I hate a cheat and a liar. The worst is someone not keeping there word. Next someone making false statement on a subject they have no idea about.
