Its one thing to have problems that crop up for a family business or any business for that matter that will take time to address, it is quite another thing to keep cashing the checks as they come in knowing that you wont be able to fulfill the order in a timely manner and without letting the people know who are sending them the checks before they cash them. No excuse for that.

Tyler T Grip company shutdown - shipping again

I was just going to say what HeyJoe said: from what people are reporting here and elsewhere, the checks sure don't have any problem finding them! And, again from reports here and elsewhere, there appears to be plenty of time to open the mail and take checks to the bank . . . if not to return calls.
Honestly, I'm shocked that no one from the company has replied to this thread (or to the one I saw on rugerforum.com) to explain what's up. While the company wasn't especially businesslike back when I bought T-grips from them in the late '80s for the shop that I managed, someone always answered the phone.

I also share this sentiment. I know nothing about these folks, but I do know they're not doing themselves any favors by continuing to cash checks while remaining incommunicado.
When I needed another T-grip a few months ago I chose to go the eBay route when I couldn't get anyone on the phone.

This is quickly turning into the Lawman Leather situation, with growing numbers of disgruntled customers out of pocket and nothing to show for it. In both cases, the vendors had no difficulty taking money from buyers, only to renege on the delivery of ordered goods. It's a shame that so many people in our shooting fraternity have been ripped off this way.

Does anyone know how I can contact the Oklahoma State Attorney General's office by EMAIL, I can't seem to find an address, only a complaint form. I was going to check with them and see if it is true that they shut down the TYLER CO........Any help appreciated....THANKS

See post #89 above. In short, AG hasn't shut 'em down but has received lots of complaints. People are being referred to the Post Office.

How do you spell M-a-d-o-f-f? The amounts are very different, but the ethics and principles are identical, it seems. Tragic.

another dis-satisfied "customer"
I've posted this here on S&W forums and over on the Firing Line, so I won't weigh you down with specifics. Suffice it to say that I paid Tyler Mfg. $68.75 in Oct. 2010 and still have not received the product nor even a response to a certified letter I sent them in Jan. this year.
That in my book is Postal fraud, and I urge everyone who was burned by this company to fill out the USPS complaint form as soon as possible. Before any other people send in their hard-earned money and get burned as well.
The thing that really burns me up is that over the last 15 years, I've completed dozens of purchases with firearms related companies over the internet, and even made a few sales via the auction sites. And I was never, ever burned. Not once. Until now.
The firearms community IMHO is close-knit, and honorable bunch. And I've definately gotten more from my interactions with you all via the web than I have given back. That's why the betrayal of a venerable old company like Tyler's Mfg. & Dist. Co. hurts even more.

I attended a gun show in Oklahoma City over the weekend. I asked one of the larger venders if the Tyler T Grip Company had been showing up at any of the shows?
The gentleman informed me that the Tyler T Grip Company was out of business.
Take it for what it's worth. But I'd not be sending any funds to the Tyler T Grip Company. Hopefully, someone will revive that fine old company.

On their web site they say they are moving and will reopen soon and the phone has linited hours. Is that just BS?

I tried calling their number in the past: no answer; and today, a stock computer voice message says "Hello, we are not available now. Please call again." No way for one to leave a message. Not that they would answer it anyway.

I wondered why no one responded to my WTB a set for my J frame. I glimsed right over this thread and never knew folks were gettting a raw deal. Quite the bummer as I sold 4 or 5 of them off in the last 6 months. One for my model 34:!

I wonder why my Merson's and Pachmayr adapters aren't bringing rain, too?
Dang, and I was hoping to retire early.

Let's get it straight....owner took sick and died this past fall...he had let things slip, and his kids WERE somewhat preoccupied with losing their father after a lengthy illness....his kids are getting the biz up and running, including relocating and opening a new shop, which also meant EVERYTHING packed including orders, correspondence, etc........they all have full time jobs....the move is completed, and they are making and mailing adapters as batches happen in a half finished shop....brushed are ready and shipping, anodize and or polished ones need another obvious step before shipping....my check was cashed last OCT...they are snowed under and beg patience, if they wrote a letter to everyone they would be getting nowhere...they have zero internet savvy and had to get a local college prof just to do the move update on the site....keep your fingers crossed they pull this off and rumor mongering is NOT helping...they are getting old phone number moved to new facility, which is a hassle with different outfits, and if you want them to get work done, don't expect them to answer calls...we are talking about a 2-3 person outfit here, not a factory, the son and his sister who is also in school!
Just a PS....cannot believe all the garbage posted in this thread....you know, i sent them a check last fall, and a month or two back just wrote a nice letter asking if they were still in business and included my phone number and the son called me straight away from his personal cell phone, the toll free number being very hard to get moved for people who know nothing about their dad's business....that's all it took, folks....and you folk spreading all the garbage should be spending as much time spreading this news as you did in trashing them....if they don't make it, you can be proud you helped

mtngunr, they can cash the checks but not return the emails or calls, that speaks volumes. You can throw them a pity party but I ain't comin'.

Yes, let's get it straight. Legally. Cashing a check before mailing the goods is not right.
