I hesitate to post this but I really don't know what to do next.
A while back...quite a while back...after a discussion concerning work to be done and price I sent several guns (including a graded Lefever sideplate 16 and a Fox B grade 12) to a well-known gunsmith for some work. Payment-in-full was sent along with the guns. Previously, I had always received fast, responsive service and therefore did not inquire or even ask about turn around time. I just assumed it would be reasonable. Some time (months) later I called for a progress report an was told they were all ready or nearly ready to be shipped back to me, which was fine. Nothing happened, more time passed, and I called again...and once again received similar assurances.
To make a long story short, now, after numerous unreturned phone messages, emails, faxes, and postal mail (including a certified letter) this individual has become totally non-responsive. After this amount of time I'm less concerned with losing my payment than I am getting my guns back.
At this point, I really don't know what to do. It's too far away to go knock on his door. None of the options I can think of to escalate this are appealing to me, but I may not have an option?
Any ideas? I would REALLY appreciate any helpful suggestions.
Bill
