This post speaks for itself. He actually posted it twice, and it was deleted twice:

Does the K company ever ship parts? I ordered a new Lumpsaver + and a
lid gasket in December 2009. The check cleared my bank on January 4,
2010. It is now March 4,2010 and still no parts. Numerous calls to K
are answered by "Tony" who assures me that the parts will ship out the
next day. This has happened three times. Guess what? Still no parts.

Emails to both the sales and service emails listed at kamado. com have
gone unanswered.

I've owned my #7 for over 10 years and have loved it, but this fiasco
is bordering on fraud.

You know, considering how little time and effort the Johnsons are putting into their business, it's a wonder that they take the time to read the forum and delete posts from their angry customers.


He used the right word. "Fraud".

It is fraud. A business has 30 days to ship the order or they are breaking the law.

That K forum poster was me. I only discovered this forum last night.

I've owned my #7 for over 10 years, and have always known that their customer service was bad, but this is criminal.

When I called to place the parts order, I thought it was a bit odd that they needed an "unblocked" number to receive a call. That should have been my first clue that things were foul. Why would a reputable business need to screen their calls?

I got mad tonight and posted my complaint on every section of the kamado forum I could. Imagine my surprise that they were all deleted, and my account was "suspended." I've been a loyal customer for 10 years, but this is the last straw.

After my account was suspended, I filed a complaint with the BBB and a mail fraud complaint with the USPS Postal Inspector.

I'm sure the "Johnsons" or whoever they really are, are monitoring this forum as well as their own.

BGE here I come!

Welcome, Kdbrink You may also file a ripoff report.

The only business they do these days is collections. I hope you can get your money back somehow.

Be thankful they only took you for the cost of some accessories, they have taken some of us for a lot more. They are crooks by every meaning of the word. Its amazing that they still survive by stealing from their loyal customers. Sorry to hear about your loss. Good luck.

I received an email from Richelle Johnson saying that my parts order was dropped off with UPS yesterday. She sent me a tracking number. According to UPS, they have only received "billing information" about the shipment.
Wouldn't UPS show possession of a package after 24 hours?

Is Alan Z a member here? I gleaned a lot of Kamado info from his old web site.

It sounds like Richelle got paranoid when you plastered them with posts and showed up here.

Why can't we do what they did in the Frankenstein movies. Let's all gather clubs, sticks, rakes and trouches and show up on thier doorstep. I'd say when the total sum of everybody they've screwed starts yelling we want we paid for, they might get weak in the knees.

We can't do that because their "doorstep" is a" Mailboxes Ect." I did a Google Earth search.

I'm really thinking about a pellet grill now.

Here it is Monday, and UPS still shows that it has only received "billing info." The glimmer of hope I had of ever getting the parts is quickly fading.

I'm very pleasantly surprised to report that my parts order arrived today!

I'm back in the K business, but this is the final order I'll ever place. When it needs parts again, I'm moving on.

Thank you for all the advice and support during this issue.
