I have no idea what is going on with this guy, and at this point do not much care. In late August I paid my local shop owner for one of Corry's latest figures, which in turn was included in a sizeable order which went paid in full to Mr. Corry. Still nothing! I have seen excuse after excuse posted by his pals but nothing by himself. He quit answering my friends e-mail inquiries in October. Short of his own demise, this is reprehensible behavior. If the man is dead, someone needs address his business left hanging. I do not really think he is dead---we have a word here for someone of his proclivities that rhymes with "chief" and begins with "th". No doubt this will be viewed as unfeeling and harsh, and ya know, that is exactly what it is intended to be viewed as. I honest hope the vermin will come up out from under his rock and address this. BTW, I suffered a broken collarbone and it was healed and I was back in business in a few short weeks. Such an injury is no REASON for withholding paid in full orders, but makes for a mighty fine EXCUSE for those inclined to accept such childish fairytales. The international miniature community has no room for such scoundrels. Respond or don't it changes nothing; this is DISHONEST.

Thank you, Artur. At the time I saw this post several weeks ago I was in the "wait and see" mode as we all suffer setbacks which we cannot anticipate and cause unforeseen consequences. My sympathy is with Hisham and the others who have been duped by this person. Still no slithering from under the rocks... .
 
You may have to go thru small claims tribunal

Dear Steve,

I had a recent similar experience with a toy soldier vendor in Australia. I had to go thru the Australian Trade Commission, then thru a small claims court to get my money back. It is a lengthy process (1 year plus), form filling and requires patience.

I suggest that you try to contact the UK Trade commission to start the ball rolling.

Thank you Victor, but the sum due is much less than the effort to recover it would cost. If he needs the money more than his customers need his work, that is his call but he needs to be chastised until his hiney bleeds. Unfortunately this is hardly the first incident of this nature with this man and is a pattern of misbehavior. I could care less how talented he is, if any one of us pulled this in our own business, in short order such business would cease. Sounds like just what the doc ordered for Mr. Correy. STILL no slither from under the rocks... .
 
Maurice's Response

Hi

I am talking to Maurice at this precise moment and dictating his words , these are not mine.

"Dear Mr Scott , you have had no direct dealings with myself , i class these remarks as slanderous , expect a letter from my lawyer. These are the only dealings that i will have with you. You foolishly purchased from a vendor who was selling from an order and not stock . "

"I did not want this to become public but feel it must , On my immediate return from Euro Militaire my wife of the last 20 yrs asked me for a divorce . I immediately left that residence and therefore i have no access to my emails from that date. Shortly afterwards i had a car accident which left me as you are aware with a broken collar bone and four broken ribs , broken vertebrae and deafness in one ear , the result of an head injury.

All orders have been dispatched from that date , with the exception of one which i had no hard record of ,this however has now been dealt with (Mike Davidson)


Message to Hisham "Your parcel was overlooked because i had no access to my records on my PC . This has been dispatched today ."

Anyone else with grivances please reply to this post and i will contact Maurice as soon as
 
my response

I have just taken a cab 20 miles to respond directly to this post.
mr scott , i do not know you,you have not spent a cent with myself and i personally owe you nothing, i treat your remarks with the contempt they deserve, i certainly hope you are man enough to direct your comments to my face, if you were in this country i would even come to you so that you might be able to do so.I would also like you to forward via pm your address for correspondence i will be asking advice on this and propose to have your remarks looked at by a proffesional, i believe they have some illegal content, I also believe that this board has some responsibility for them.

Now on to Anyone of importance.
Anyone who has had direct dealings with me please accept my apologies for not having done this sooner, i have had no access to emails and have had no access to the PC on which all records were stored i have basically been working from memory and have overlooked a few things. I have not been allowed access to the property in which i have been working and certain packages have been trapped there for weeks.these have now been shipped and will be with the respective purchasers soon.

Gray
The original documentation sent with the first shipment was incorrect, not my fault but that of parcelforce who supplied old style documents no longer accepted for shipment outside this country, unfortunately the customs clearence failed and the parcel was to be returned to me, this has still not happened. I was unable to contact you to keep you updated, after some time i was able to duplicate the order and along with the JAKREI order this was posted with UPS. I had assumed this must have arrived. UPS are considering a claim for loss but can not do so until I furnish them with the shipment docket which is not available to me immediately. Rest assured that if you have not received the parcel in ten days from now then a full refund will be sent to you. I am truly sorry for this but a great deal of the events surrounding this have been completely out of my control.

Hisham
This is completely my fault. I had a package, packed and addressed which should have been sent weeks ago. I thought it had gone, my ex-spouse did most of the postifor me and it did not come to light until this week that a number of parcels were unsent and still at my old place of work. I have sent a duplicate package today via first class airmail i have also included some extras by way of compensation.

Mike Davidson,
This again is mainly my fault and this package was also left in the care of my wife to send, unfortunately this didn`t happen but i will order a collection immediately to be sent express. I shall also refund your shipping costs.
Please accept my sincere apologies.

There may be other people who have experienced delays or non arrival and i would like to invite any of those customers to contact me via this board so that I can rectify the situation.
Thank you to all those who have supported me here and thank you for your paitience. it is just as well not everone is the same or this would be a very poor world.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

... Well I'm still waiting for my Northern Ireland squaddie ... Santa will forget me this year ! Oh no ! Waaaaah ! :'(

(Johan is weeping, crying an unstoppable river of tears, it will break his heart if he doesn't get his figure; besides, the neighbourhood will be flooded; someone do something quick before a disaster happens in a small belgian village!!)

As far as I've had dealings with him, Maurice is quite a friendly chap; if he's had personal problems and an accident, then that indeed would explain why he hasn't sent my figure that I ordered last october.

Could someone give me his phone or mobile number so that I can talk to him about my Northern Ireland squaddie which has lost it's way ? Please ?
 
Oh blimey Maurice, my thoughts are with you. Hope you've got a roof over you head and the basics. As everyone now knows your LIFE has taken a turn for the worst I'm sure it puts the HOBBY into perspective.
As Roc has said 'support the underdogs' - well I'm sure we'll all now show Maurice our support.
Good luck mate.
Jon.
 
Where is my promised order??

Hey Maurice,

I thought I would be the first one to spill the beans online, but I guess there are more angry customers of your demanding justice!

I supposed you have not shipped out our August order too?

I am impressed that you can actually still put your items on ebay the past few weeks while you can continuue defaulting on your customer paid orders?

Our lawyer has already consulted the UK police department and they are looking at this case. Perhaps I would also redirect their attention to this forum and Timelines forum. God know how many customer orders you have defaulted?!

I would suggest that u seriously consider to ship our ordered items out with immediate effect or refund us completely. Fair for u?

Should u require to speak to my lawyer, please contact me offline.

Mr. Tang, Have you read all the postings regarding this matter? I myself doubt it as guests and the Pf membership are seeing this garbage continue after a member of the Pf staff suggested dealing with this matter privately. Let's have all this productivity be better put into a thread we can ALL enjoy.~Gary

Now that we are aware of the matter maybe the Mods can put a lock on this thread.

I have kept out of this, even though a good friend of mine has been hung drawn and quartered by the masses!
Things happen in life-blah blah.
Maurice Corry is going through hell. I shit you not!!!!
He and I go back a long way, and this man has always been a man of his word. Or is that action not words!!!!!
How dare people go on a assination of this mans character purely based on a lack of information?
Is this a way of seizing the moment to progress a duller line ?????
He will make good all of his orders and I think that, you, as his customers (you wouldn't be those if you thought that his products were a bag of sh++-would you?) should show some support for when a Man is down, unless you would leave a friend dying on the battlefield! We were never taught that way.
When your emotions are involved, such as a break up with a long term partner (mine ran off with a cop- must of been the truncheon practice whilst i was earning!!!) as Maurice suffering, things go to rat shit!
Guys, it will all be sorted!
If anyone has a problem, please feel free to visit my address where I will gladly give you the stick of knowledge - for your benefit!

My points raised.

My simple point raised and there is no further need to degrade anyone here defending him.

This type of postings to online forums would always happen, as long as the sellers do not communicate with their angry customers correctly.

Period.
