I had the same problem once and had to file a claim to get my money back via paypal...

Their is someone named Jes that was on this forum and worked with Cherie. Here is a thread where he gives some different contact options that you might try.....

I am sorry for the situation you are in and hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks very much for that, I'll drop Jes an email and see if I can get any communication from him.

Cheers,

David

Makes you wonder what makes certain types tick?!!...He/she should be ashamed of him/her self!!

Yes, the more I look and speak to people on the forums a lot seem to have had a bad experience with getting goods from Cherie.

How can you run a business like that, appreciate she is busy but if you have just paid a lot of money for a kit you don't expect to have to wait over 6 months for it. Lame!

I've done biz with her and had no issues whatsoever. I'm of the opinion that most of her dealings are copecetic and spiffy. It's the rare rough deal that gets aired. The same happened to one of our own ... Mikey got nailed for a rough bit of timing. 99.998% of his dealings go down smoother than a raw oyster, but we heard about the rare few here.

Life happens and people are fallible. Unless criminal intent is front and center, just chalk it up to drawing the short statistical straw of business deals. We've all been there at one time or another.

DW, I've had good dealings with Cherie as well, and I agree with Roger about only the bad transactions coming to light.

Man, 7 months is a hecku long to wait for your outfit though. I cannot find her telephone number, I switched phones recently and didn't transfer that number evidently.

Maybe PM Tommyp (moderator) or Webmaster here on the forum, perhaps they have her phone number?

Agree things happen, things fall through the cracks and those things get picked up and fixed (hopefully in a short time). All's good. You're still running a business though and communication should be maintained with the customer. Unless it's a one-man show, someone should be in contact regarding such an aged transaction. Fancy leather couches from Tibet arrive sooner. How many weeks between contact (for real, not a poke)?

Hope you're playing your new kit soon. All her sets look amazing. I think they're members on the Gretsch Woodshed. Maybe contact through there? I sometimes check Repercussions' site for updates, but see nothing's happened. I only wish them the best and look forward to another viable vintage drum supplier to go to.

Wow good luck mate you must be having kittens by now. I bought a kit through Ebay years ago from the U.S.(I live in GB) and I spent the entire time panicking for days and days until it turned up. I swear I will never do it again!

I know my comments don't help, but I wish you all the best with this.
