WARNING: Roger Skic of Custom Tactical Creations
 

I would advise extreme caution dealing with this guy, in June I sent him 400.00 USD for the production of a prototype rig I had designed, he told me three weeks for delivery. After sending the money I hadn't recieved any reciept or confirmation of any kind which he told me I would, so I emailed him, no response, a few weeks later and after a few more emails, he finally emailed me back saying I should have recieved the reciept... Three weeks came and went and I inquired about the progress, again no response, another week later and another several emails, he again, emailed me back, saying he was almost done, just waiting on some materials, should be another day or two until he shipped it out. Now it's almost 4 months later and he hasn't responded to any emails in over a month, of course it has passed the time when I can paypal dispute, I've complained with the appropriate authorities however getting a hold of his local police dept is a huge pain in the ass and of course no other would deal with it as it isn't in their jurisdiction.

Anyway, I would advise not dealing with this guy.

Quite an irresponsible character. Kinda like some folk from Osh.. er.. nvm..

Hope this get's resolved. If it doesn't, sorry about your loss! :(

I hope you get your stuff or your money back! I hate not receiving stuff. I hope you saved all your emails and the emails he sent you because if not I don't think the authorities will do anythin about it =(!

wtf are you talking about getting ahold of his police dept is a "huge pain in the ass"?

And buddies contact info is on his webpage;

Contact Information:

Custom Tactical Creations
3025 Rush Point Drive
Rush City, MN. 55069
(320)980-2901

Contact the police dept, and have them fax you a police report to fill out for mail fraud charges, or direct you to the agency that can. Although I believe that mail fraud is a federal offence in the states and falls under FBI jurisdiction.

I had the same thing happen to me over ebay a few years ago, putting together my 'nam gear. Bought some webbing and long story short, "it's shipping out today, oh my son shipped it to the wrong address, we sent it out a month ago you should have it by now"....

It took me sending him an email threatening to follow thru on charges, and amazing! a week later my package shows up, postmarked after that email..

Yea I had the contact info, I mean it's just a pain in the ass for me to go through the steps of filing the report, etc etc, as I'm rediculously busy. It is getting done however. Anyway, I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Hello again knyte!
 

Knyte, sounds like you have been a very bored, mendacious little boy now haven’t you. I do apologize for reiterating my previous post on Tactical Gear Review verbatim, but here goes…

I have had no problems with Roger. Custom Tactical Creations is a very reputable firm, and unfortunately custom gear is often time consuming. Some people fail to understand that when dealing with a specialty firms, like Custom Tactical Creations, lower volume civilian sales tend to take a back seat to large volume military or law enforcement sales especially taking into account the current geopolitical unrest in the world today. I would gladly allow my order to be delayed in order to fill that of our men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces, and fellow public safety professionals. I apologize to the “arm chair commandos” who might have been offended by my last remark, non offense Knyte, or those who feel their obsession with air soft somehow feel that their petty needs are somehow more important than those with a legitimate use for quality custom tactical equipment.

CTC's reputation has been impeccable. There was a website run by, in my opinion, an untalented hack out of Utah who used Roger's reputable name to further their substandard product sales. This guy went so far as the plagiarize CTC by purchasing the domain customtacticalcreations.com. I was alerted to this when I did a Google search for “Custom Tactical Creations” and called Roger when I discovered the link lead to the website of that fallacious individual. Now that I have finished bloviating, I hope that you have a great day sir. 

P.s.
Oh by the way, as a caveat, I would avoid making unsubstantiated defamatory statements about an individual or organization. That would be, now how I explain this simply enough for you, a little legal situation known as LIBEL. Now far be it from me to call you a liar, I find it difficult to believe that with a potentially fraudulent financial transaction that you would not have involved law enforcement. Oh wait I do recall you stating that it would be a “huge pain in my ass” to make a simple phone call to the police to file a fraud report which last I check can takes less than 30 minutes, but this is only the opinion of a logical mind. I really appreciate the opportunity to engage in healthy debate, although my arguments do seem a little more, how should I put this, well thought out and articulate. I should be getting back to work as I would hate to have an emergency call interfere our conversation. Again, have a great day sir.

Hmm, says he's from the US (Isn't that where the store is? :D) And this is his first post . . . . seems a little fishy. Plus, personal attacks aren't cool. The only thing Knyte did was let people know he had a poor experience. We do have the right to free speech, right?

as opposed to sending an e-mail that takes all of 5 minutes.
This sounds like a case of hypocrisy.

and yeah, extremely poor on his part for a personal attack.

and if you don't want this to occur again I would advise this custom tactical supplier to only accept orders that they can fill. Instead of having to deal with any perturbed customer/s.

Dear Emt_1472;

We fucking know where the USA is... More Canadians know that than americans know where their Capital is... Or in fact know where Canada is.

So a simple USA for location would suffice

Poor/Lack of communication with the customer is step one towards business failure. I don't care how fucking busy you are, but if you've taken $400 from the customer and its been 4 months, you ought to tell him the progress once in a while.

What a smug asshole.


This is just, oh, how should i put it? My opinion.

There is a Custom Tactical Creations in Utah? I've been in the Utah Airsoft scene for quit some time and I havent heard of a Custom Tactical Creations.

Well, let's see:

1) A Canadian has trouble with a foreign (in this case American) supplier.

2) The American supplier knows the country of origin of the Canadian.

3) The American must know that this is related to airsoft, and not to the requirements of a real job requiring tactical gear.

4) An American joins this, a Canadian forum dedicated to Canadian airsoft, and points fingers at said Canadian, accusing him of making libellous comments towards the American supplier.

5) This is the first and only post by this American "booster" for CTC.

6) He has in fact made eloquent and thoughtful arguments to support his point.

Now may I make as thoughtful a rebuttal as possible from a Canadian:

Go back to your fucking hole you useless piece of shit troll and shut the fuck up on a foreign forum about an issue you have no business involved in.

I mean, really, his presence here is just shut a crock of shit. Knyte had a problem and informed the community. Case closed.

you know, talking down to a person and using big words in a patronizing voice doesn't make friends on this site. it carves out a niceil little shit-filled niche for eternity. you should work on your people skills. As for your love of "the opportunity to engage in healthy debate", im sure you will find many people on this site who share that love with you. cept dont expect them to use nice fancy words to properly articulare their thoughts. See your "neighbours to the north" usually just say things outlike like: "You're a dick!" or "Piss off ya Yank" or a very common one such as "God that guys is an asswhole". But i just want to say on behalf of the ASC community that we so appreciate your thoughts on the issue, esp when they were not asked for! What would we do without you? again have a nice day to you sirrah!:)

Is emt_1472 a random American guy or someone from Custom tactical Creations doing damage control (poorly)?
