I can tell you from my 25 year retail experience, it was the guys I made a good profit (fair), I felt most like helping. It was always the guys I made no or very little that gave me the most grief.

Although I have never purchased anything from Todd, I can say I have never heard any thing negative about him or his business.

I'm actually surprised a moderator did not chime in on this.

That is exactly the tone of your original post. I've had several dealings with Todd, and I consider him to be a good guy who does right by his customers. I also understand that he's essentially a one-man operation. The fact that he serves a niche not well served by most e-tailers is IMHO sufficient reason to support his business. The fact that he supports this site with his advertising is another reason. If that were to mean that I might occasionally have to wait a bit longer for something (and for the record, in a half-dozen or more purchases, that's not ever been the case), I'm fine with that. I also know Todd to be a stand up guy. I'm sure there's a good reason for whatever is delaying processing. Perhaps it's not sufficient reason for you, but I suspect that a bit more patience on your part will be rewarded.

Todd has the right to delete this thread entirely, and in my opinion it would be completely justified.

Dear OP,
Elrod-Tom said it best, none the less I feel compelled to chime in. Please reread all the posts in this thread and learn from them. Grow up a little more before your next complaining post and perhaps you will be a better person for this experience.

Peace to you my friend.

Todd, feel free to delete this thread as well as cancel my shipping. I would certainly feel guilty to tarnish your biased reputation while stealing $10 from you.

And let me guess, the only reason you have such a fancy reputation is because you remove all the criticisms isn't it?

No the reason he has such a reputation is because of his service to this community for many years.

I have only delt with TTVJ once, and that was when I bought my Grado HF-1- I know within that time period Todd managed to get 400 headphones out to owners in a very short period of time. All set up and orchestrated perfectly; all that work for a measly $200 each. That's an example of one of his many services.

I like Todd.

Come on man, if you hadn't quoted him I could have lived blissfully assuming all he had to say was:

Todd is a good guy.

Tood is my friend and drinking buddy and supplier of some choice vinyl to feed my addiction.

If he were brand new here -- rather than a two-year veteran of the site -- then I might be willing to cut him more slack for not knowing your sterling reputation or the proper decorum in this community. The fact that you sent him an email explaining that your two-person operation was behind due to illness and that his one-item, discounted order might be delayed and he posted this ANYWAY makes my blood boil! This guy does not deserve the least bit of sympathy or slack. Dear Rest of the World: On the merits, I cannot imagine complaining, let alone publicly, about a delay on a website order on the 4th business day after clicking send. It is ridiculous. Compounding that lack of judgment by claiming that "This kind of delay is absolutely inexcusable by any standards" and warning future TTVJ customers "to consider Todd's business conducts prior to ordering" is inexcusable! I have rarely if ever had a better retail/e-tail/whatever-tail experience than I have had with my MANY purchases from Todd and TTVJ. Please disregard the foolish and ill-considered comments of the would-be James Bond. Unlike his apparent hero, this person has no class whatsoever. Dear TheNew007: Get a life.

Hey you biased fool, you can stop sucking now
First of all, I have only heard of TTVJ last week when I searched through the Markl mod thread.
Secondly, I never knew that Todd had employed only one person. Todd:if you can't ship a single .1lb item out within a week, then HIRE MORE PEOPLE
Thirdly, where's the rule that says I can't criticize paid sponsors? Please, next time write that at the top of every page in 70 size font.
Fourthly, Maher, I hope you keep to your word.

Voltron, you're lucky I'm not allowed to post your pic up here. But if anyone's feeling homosexual then google DICK.

Our young friend has been given a short vacation. I'm closing this thread for now. Criticism is one thing. The use of profanity and personal attacks is another.
