Update:  I did get a text message back last Thursday evening saying that he would be in the shop Friday reviewing projects and calling me that day with options.  So that was good news!  I did not get a call but will continue to message them until resolution!

Hearing what I've heard today, I advocate to give Chris some grace and everyone to have some patience at this time.

From what I have seen on this thread. You will probably need to expand on that for people to be more understanding. And I'm sure if its warranted grace will be given.

I can understand if that's what people would want, however, I'm not going to talk about his situation. I will say, I hope everyone gets their items back completed. I to brought items in for taxidermy that are still there.

Nope. I won't share what I was told.

At this point in time I’d be pretty worried about flooding.

I dropped off a bear on Nov 15 this year and picked up a euro mount. He apologized for the lack of communication and emphasized on how busy they are, he never mentioned anything about closing the business down.
As the post above says we have bigger issues with this flood now, all of our stuff might be completely ruined. Hopefully they had time to move everything to a safe location.

The flooding is only going to complicate things more, i cant imagine the business doesn't have some sort of lose, home owners imsurance that would cover clients loose.  I have yet to get a phone call or any path forward communication.  Stratimg to get frustrated, gonna be making a visit next friday if the water recedes, and a lawyer after that…  @dreadi if you have info and not willing to share it you should have not even posted such on this thread…

You're barking up the wrong tree and appear to be displeased that I advocated for him while maintaining my integrity along with their privacy. People trust me with their personal information everyday and I will not be spreading it around for others to consume.  Nothing that I was told is going to help you, or me, or anyone else get their items back.

I have no items at the shop but I have to agree with bearhunter, nothing should have been posted about this.  Just doesn't have a good vibe to it
