Robyn Gold Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Anyone else having issues with RedWing Trading Company? I ordered a screw knife from them 2 months ago and cannot get any answer from them regarding status. There's nothing on their site that says they are having any kind of delays. I've tried multiple emails and even their facebook page with no results whatsoever. The phone number listed on their website is no good.....since they are SASS affiliated thought maybe someone on here might have another point of contact or know the people involved since they apparently are vendors/competitors too.

John Kloehr Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just out of curiosity, since I have seen them mentioned before, did a quick search. First, this has apparently happened before. See this thread: I found 2 numbers for them: From Web Site: 308-235-5306 From Facebook: 308-235-7398 Good luck with these numbers, the FaceBook site has not had updates in a long time.

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Redwing Trading is literally a mom n pop operation. Tom and Karen are great folks! There IS a lot going on right now. Cut em some slack, I'm sure there's a reason they are not available right now. Be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelve mile REB Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Yes, I agree with Rainmaker. Redwing has been around forever and honest to a fault. However, like many of us old timers, time is not our friend and poo happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need to reply to emails and calls. Nothing worse than leaving customers wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyn Gold Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 I agree and I don't think I am being impatient - its been 2 months with no answers. It makes me very leary, especially since they promote how great their business is and that they respond to emails. Feel like I got suckered at this point... Thanks Jon, I will try the other number. Maybe I will get lucky there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I wish you well with Redwing, but if things don't work out there is a new guy that is making some real nice screwdriver knives. He's producing, but hasn't got his website up yet. He's on Facebook - look up Bone-A-Fyde Knives. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 You might ask your credit card companies to revoke the payment to them. They will take the money back and negate your payment. Too bad this had to happen to you. I hope things work out for you both. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well, sometimes people get into trouble and we are blessed when we cut them some slack. I hope Red Wing comes out of it OK too. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Almost every post I have seen about problems with vendors has centered on their lack of communication with the customer. Some folks are supremely skilled at their craft and cant fathom that communication is a skill which must also be mastered. Especially if they are going to insist on being paid for their craftsmanship prior to delivery. Most of us customers are patient and understanding IF we are dealt with openly and in a timely manner. There are people and companies I will not deal with all over the country and on the wire because they refuse to place value on these skills. It is my understanding we are not to attack the providers on the SASSwire. I am surprised this thread has not been shut down. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
