I have orders going out everyday brother. I stopped taking orders as soon as I knew I wasn't going to be able to send anything out for a little bit while I move states due to a piece of shit partner who put me in a tight spot where I figured I only had 3 choices. 1 put the biz on hold, pack up and move to avoid giving my partner the ability to follow through with threats of blackmail. (seperate business venture from sour patch all together), focus on my son who was born at 6 lbs and 5 weeks early, give my fiance support while she recovers, made 3 trips back and forth over 400 miles in 3 uhaul trucks pretty much by myself, ( I had 1 guy help me load the first 2 trucks, and no one to help me unload any of the trucks when I got to my destiation). 2 keep paing the guys rent and allow him to extort me all while sitting in a situation I know his threats could turn to a reality at the drop of a hat, send orders out from the house he knows where I'm at while he keeps saying he will give the landlord permission to enter my home and take a look around. 3 stop paying his rent and hope he doesn't do any of the bullshit he says he is going to do.
Now out of my choices and the fact that I have been communicating with customers about the delays and am giving people extras as compenation for the delay. I am a 1 man company and so if my attention is required elsewhere to prevent having to shut down permanently that is what I have to do. I have never ripped off a single customer in 2 years at this and I'm not gonna start now. if I had not done things the way I did I may not have been able to continue on with the company or send anyone anything as a result of a desperate man's actions and him being vindictive in attacking me because he hit hard times and thought I should help him because I have been successful while he has made pissed poor choices which resulted in his current situation. I helped this dude out alot and he made threats in which he mentioned my son growing up without a father due to legal trouble. I'm sure if it happened to you like this you would have done the same thing. if he did not follow my Instagram page I would have made an announcement on there but that would have given him a heads up and I would have lost more of my belongings. between the second and third trip he did actually steal some of my stuff. if I had made the announcement he would have stolen alot more from me. I am now situated in a new house and am getting my stuff organized and have been sending out orders all week this week. I stopped taking orders until I get all currently paid for orders out to customers. I have not been dealing with calls or emails because some are new people trying to pay and I don't have time to explain the entire situation to everyone who calls or emails me. my ex partner also has my business number and was constantly calling and texting me on that number so I had that phone off until I am 100% ready to start taking orders again. sorry if you felt I had ditched out and kept your payment. that is not even in my character brother. send me a private message with your name and order info and I'll let you know the status of your order. it may have already been sent out. if not it will be out to you in the next day or two. yes there were hundreds of orders that needed to go out but I also had a couple hundred orders I missed out on because of this whole mess caused by this guy.
The orders I missed out on are the least of what I lost in this mess. my son was born while I was packing up the first truck, so I missed the birth of my first born son because of this asshole. then all the orders I didn't get due to being shit down for a few weeks and a harvest I had to move 400 miles and were damaged or stressed out in transit to the new location. trust me bro this did not benefit me in the slightest. I can count my lucky stars though because I am out of that house and completely separated from this guy and no longer have to deal with his bullshit. I will not be partnering up with anyone again because of this type thing happening where some dude thinks he is entitled to my profits from my business or because he hit hard times and I am in my good times with the positive choices I have made.
