Has any one done buisness with Wilderness Solutions www.wildersol.com

I searched for fire pistons but did not get the threads I had read before, so I am starting a new one.

They sell fire pistons and related fire starting gear. I am having an issue with an order I placed with them, and was looking for some advice.

-Joe

I bought a fire piston from them a couple of years ago.

It took a very very very very very long time for delivery...but it did come through and it is a superb fire piston.

I do recommend Darryl Aune's work over Wilderness Soluntions....same quality pieces but much better customer service.

I placed my order June 25, 2008 and it is now July 13, 2009.

I still have not recived my order in 1+ yrs. And the few times I have been able to contact them, the response has been "Oh, I'll get that in the mail soon."

Needless to say I am less than happy with the situation.

Yeah, that sounds just like my order...except I am pretty sure you are only half way through my waiting time.

I am still waiting for a tinder capsule I traded a braided lanyard for....not expecting that anytime this century though.


If you have not paid, I would consider ordering one from Darryl...if you have paid.....I think it will come someday.

That's crazy.

I would have done a chargeback within a month of not receiving the item.

Here is an old thread with the same discussion....

Back in 2008 I guess I had taken delivery in about a year...so Jeff should be shipping out that piston soon....I hope.

In his defense he does custom make these, but his customer service is very poor.

I would not prepay to him ever again that is for sure.

Well I looked back through the forum trying to figure out how long my piston took...
I ordered it 9/17/2004....and had a message from Jeff that he was working on it 9/08/2005....I failed to note when it actually arrived though. I seem to recall it was not too long after that note however.

Good luck...they are worth the wait as exceptional pistons, but communication can really go a long way at making the wait acceptable.

Well,

Wrote an e-mail, asking for a refund and got my order today July 17, 2009.

one of the scout kit models and a string gasket kit unfinished model.

still need to asemble the string gasket model however, the scout model came assebled and works great. both are unfinished and need to be shaped, FYI.

Schwert,

Thank you for the help/info. I would have replied sooner but had technical difficulties/family emergency on my end.
