The reason Hoyt_Alaska chose this forum to post on is because he knew about past negative threads on this site.  I know this because "WE" talked about them over the phone a couple times.  He didn't do a goggle search.  Try it Google "Michelle Nelson rugging" like he said he did.  There were no 50 pages of negative reviews that popped up or even 50 negative reviews.

After following its obvious things were miscommunicated on both sides amd I doubt it was intentional. Let them work it out and move on. I for o e have nothing but positive experiences with michelle as she has been an outstanding source of info as I work through my own attempts at euros and other ideas I've had. And by the way I love the bag and hope to put it to use later this year. :tup:

Michelle,
It looks like you are holding the rugs hostage over the freight.

Why not? If its not going to be paid why lose money on your hardwork? I for one run a business and I can't expect my vendors to ship me their product for free? Just because a miscommunication.

I'm not saying Michelle should ship it back free. Hell she can ship it COD. My point is it is in Michelle's best interest to get them out. Being Non-responsive is a bad trait.
This is why I am saying there is more to the story. Surely she has notified the customer of the issues.

I've seen multiple posts of Michelle's work and it is nothing other than amazing. I simply think she could be more aggressive in times like these and never get in this crappy situation.

Ship it COD and never deal with the guy again. It's not rocket science. 
If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

For whatever it is worth, here is what I think.  I am amazed that this thread has even been allowed to continue.  Why allow a private business transaction to be bashed out on a public forum when only to people are privy to all the information?

not all small businesses are equal or can be operated the same.  There is some information left out on this case that none of us will never know.  My point, there seems to be an awful lot of folks on here that are more than willing to crucify one party or the other without possibly knowing all of the evidence.  More proof of trial by internet cowboys.  I personally think that it was a d0uchebag move to for him to air his dirty laundry (and make shallow threats) on a public forum such as this.  Right or wrong, this isn't the place and is really no one's business other than the 2 involved parties.
Your right PB. However one can only judge a case by the evidence presented.
Your right too turkeyfeather, its ok to make a judgment by the evidence provided, but why bash on a public forum without ever having done business with someone? Having an opinion and making a decision not to do business with someone is one thing, but swarming in and posting negative things is another if you don't have direct experience. I agree with PolarBear, its really only their business.

A lot of money can be in play in taxi work. One needs to do their homework before a taxi is chosen. This ain't the first time something like this has been brought up. First time one might say "Oh well some body got a bugger in their oatmeal". The second time one might say "Hmmmm". But more would make the decision easily made. Buyer be ware.

Always a fine line between "Notifying the public" and a "Witch hunt".  I do think while these threads have some usefulness they often are allowed to fester out of control.

From my experience I will continue to use Michelle's services.  However, due to these type of threads I know one thing for certain...I never want to become a taxidermist :yike:

It is a lose-lose situation for us.
Lock or delete a thread and we are protecting someone. Leave it up and they go south.

We discuss these types of threads, sometimes at great lengths, in the moderator or admin boards. If there is evidence that suggests a thread is started with malicious intent we will lock or delete it.

I haven't bashed on anyone.  :dunno:
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I didn't mean you. Im sorry if it sounded that way. I just meant bashing without experience in general. There is a few on this thread, and many others on the other threads that have not done business with Michelle, yet still post negative things. Again, Im sorry.  :sry:

If I want a rug done, I'm still taking it to Michelle.  Ya- communication/business practices aren't the way I'd run it- but I'm not a taxidermist. By now we all know what you're getting into. High quality work, may take more time, responsiveness may not be what you're used to... I think by now for all of us on here- Michelle's work speaks for itself... Seems like she gets picked on.

Michele, have you thought about hiring an admin for 10hrs a week to do some of the paperwork/follow up with clients/status reporting. Even a high schooler could help.  150 bucks a week will solve a lot of the headaches.  Post a few pics on your fb of progress/tag the client in it, or even just a simple email to the client with a pic of the work, a kid or intern can do that for cheap. Just my  :twocents:! Good luck, Michelle.

...

Its not just about taxidermy. it can be about anything. Things turn into a mob mentality on a forum and people with no direct experience are just spouting off opinions. Think snowball effect.  I've done it once or twice in the past but have largely tried to mind my own business as of late  :sry:

Obviously the only problem here is the guy wont pay for the shipping! I don't blame Michelle for not sending these things to him on her dime that's just ridiculous to think she has to do that. Pony up pay her the shipping fees and im sure she would be more than happy to send your items to you.

First I heard about shipping was her reply to me on here, after all the lies, BS and excuses. I doubt their done. It don't take since the 11th to contact someone.,she's been messages numerous times. Give me a tracking number.  Notta, if 35.00 is the issue, I can assure you it's not. Communication has been piss poor to put it nicely. I'll get on a computer tomorrow and copy her latest excuses I got finally last night as to why they haven't shipped. I guess it takes 10 days to find a box, seriously?  If you are part of the Michelle Nelson fan club, that's great, good for you. However if your looking for a taxidermist who doesn't communicate,lies, is deceitful, makes excuses, never answered the phone, don't reply to texts, then you found the right gal, again, this is the purpose of the origional post.  Ups and USPS comes to your door of your "business" and picks up and ships boxes. The excuse of maybe next Thursday , yeah 6 days later I "may" make it to the post office don't work with me. Why not ship COD? Why not give me a total I guess since this whole thing about shipping is the first I heard of it.

You think after sending almost 600 bucks and get excuse after excuse, lie after lie I'm stupid enough to send more money before my stuff is done as said so. ? I call BS.

I was layed over in Seattle 2 weeks ago for 16 hours. I could have rented a car and went and picked the crap up myself, but no, I can assure you it will be on your doorstep when you get home. Meaning it was going to be shipped before this whole nonsense about owing shipping money came to light.
Her telling me it will be their was a stall tactic do I just didn't pop in and show up. I dam sure wish I had now.
If the warden don't police my stuff up tomorrow and I don't have a tracking number of shipping by we'd, you can be till be flying to Portland and knocking on someone's door.

Sorry for any typos, I'm finger pecking on my iPhone. Just got back from a day of ptarmigan hunting.

Ahhh Steve miller, number 1 fan of Michelle Nelson.

All my rugs have been sent out to other wholesale ruggers. Roughly 50 a year if you must know. And yes, my customers know that. Didn't know my business what in question. Then again number 1 fans like to flip it around. You must be a democrat
