I just recd a $60 vacuum tweezers for the application of crystals. The vacuum was made by SMT max but was ordered through Dreamtime Creations.
I hope there was some type of mistake. The item arrived dirty, the hoses are too short and won't stay connected. There were no directions. I'm too upset tonight to even try to turn it on. I have orders to fill and this mess is a major setback..
I sent an email to Dreamtime Creations and will follow up tomorrow. This is a mess!

The message makes little to no sense.

    I thought it made a sense: a disgruntled customer of SMT Max products wanted to share their experience. But in any case, if you find something that you think is spam you can report it using the exclamation point in the bottom left of the post.

    I can safely say that the amount of spammers and/or spambots has increased dramatically over the last couple weeks. I know Mr. Mike Green has been seeing 15 - 20 per day while I'm dealing with 10 - 15. Add that to whatever the other Forum Moderators are seeing and you have an idea of the hassle.

    Yes, please report them as it makes zeroing in on the little beasties much easier.

    BTW - I ran an IP back-trace on the aforementioned user and nothing unsusual turned up. As SRLM mentioned, it could be just a bummed customer, venting by resurrecting a year+ old thread.

    "Watchful Waiting" for right now.
