I am very dissapointed with forgiven fingerboards.. I recently had my only setup stolen at school so i ordered a whole new setup. i ordered ytrucks. got them . ordered no comply smoothies. got them. i ordered a forgiven board and they never sent an email saying it shipped, i tried contacting them and they never responded. After 2 months (almost 3) they just refunded my money. it was like torture not being able to fingerboard and just to have good trucks and wheels sitting there not being used.
I wouldn't buy from Forgiven Fingerboards anyone
I know i won't make the same mistake ordering from them

lol getting smoothies for ytrucks?

Haha! But in all fairness; Ray seems like a nice guy, but i ordered a deck from them before christmas and nothing has Showed up...

ray is letting his company down... I had always thought highly of forgiven.
He is probably too busy shooting giant self portraits of himself for his signature lol

It seems as if the creek wood thing is happening with Forgiven...

shame to hear this, but moved to fb discussion.

I bought two decks, but got one. He said he sent two, but i was filmed the unboxing. Later he said he will ship another deck ,but after few weeks ge gave back money for two decks.

Ray is going for holiday.

mine took forEVER to arrive here. the quality is nice but customer service is a tad low...

had to quote this as its the funniest thing someone has said all day :lol:

in all fairness i understand people are busy....but if someone is going to take your money the goods should be sent asap...

thats why i only sell decks when they are ready. i wont do customs etc. its all too easy to take everyone's money first, then when you realize making 20 decks is going to take the whole of your week... this is when mistakes happen and the quality of the decks suffer because you are rushing yourself to get everything done.

I understand some of you never got decks but Ray is a good guy. And some of you may not realize it but its just him doing this. He doesn't have a bunch of people helping. Plus, he's only a senior in highschool.

Excuses, Miles the owner of creekwood still keeps up with everything for the most part

This isn't really directed towards Ray but I honestly think if you're going to run any kind of business that that you stick to your end of the deal meaning that you send out when you said you would or get in touch with the buyer letting them know you're going to be lagging.

Ray is not the only one man business in the fingerboard scene let alone this website....
And senior in high school?? What age is that!! Not really a valid excuse..

If I remember correctly this guy dragged his reputation from the depths of hell to a high standard and I hope he is not gonna loose that again.

Nothing against ray, seems like a nice guy but that's not how business is conducted of you can't fulfil your end of a bargain, don't do it

Ray is an awsome guy, he is a slacker tho, im saying this as a team rider, I bought a mold off him, sent him my money, he got it, this was about a month ago, after about 2 weeks i was wondering where it was so i texted him and he said it was on send back for him because he did something wrong, he apologized and said he would resend it priority shipping with a tracking number, he apparently sent the package last tuesday, Its been a full week, and nothing, for the past 2 days ive been texting calling messages on facebook, anything i can do to get a hold of him and no answer. This is really sketchy and im in the hole a big chunk of cash if this dosent come, And Remember IM ONE OF HIS OWN TEAM RIDERS! and one thing i will tell everyone, he posted on facebook that hes not going to be doing alot of things with forgiven untill he gets out of his hole he dug himself into when he took out a loan for Diamond Key.

Best part is how he is avoiding this thread...

Edit: double post

I can see this from both stand points, being I myself have trouble keeping up with people's demands. It's much like doing homework, if you will. You can get it done right away, or you can procrastinate for days on end until you end up having lock-in lunch hour. I can understand taking a day or two off, but waiting so long that you need to send someone their money back is a bit ridiculous...

I guess it would be sad for Ray to lose his rep. Honestly I think he should fix this situation before he starts with his clothing company..

That's not a slacker man that's someone who is taking your money and not responding..
Took out a loan for diamond key what a fucking mong !! and now he is paying it back out of people money and dodging them..
Why not try sell some diamond key shit then.

Or some of his dooby decks/forgiven

I would like to maintain a neutral stance on most things, despite all his effort to defame Close Up. I don't know what is currently happening with Forgiven/Diamondkey but I do hope everyone that is owed stuff receives what they paid for or their money back, plus some extra to compensate. I personally didn't like how Rory was treated when he was kicked off Dooby and after all the work to regain reputation, I hope for all parties that there's a reasonable explanation and everything gets resolved.

I agree with what Blosom said, people should only sell when they have stock and stuff like this will never happen
