We should make a sticky thread with a list of all the custom/semi-custom builders we know, and strike out all the names that have proven to be unreliable. The list would end up quite short...
It would be 0. Every single builder makes mistakes, no one is perfect.

I vote on Carvin employees not reveealing their affiliation trying to bully you. That kind of thing has sadly become commonplace in the internet, with companies hiring "community managers" for that kind of job.I'm going to have to take a temporary break from the Internet due to the sheer amount of spam attack messages I'm receiving from complete strangers for complaining about this. Are people that brand devoted and brainwashed?
Kiesel has no intention of resolving this so I would go ahead and do a Chargeback through your bank or cc company depending on who you used. You should be able to get your money back fairly easily.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. What are the specs on this? Looks nice but i don't see how it costs $2400

adds up to 2349 dollars before taxes, after taxes it came out to 2513 dollars and 43 cents. I got killed, in the sense I paid even more to specifically have the finish match and now I not only got stuck paying a substantial upcharge but paid it for a finish that doesn't match what I asked for, I didn't receive any warnings or contact from them stating they felt they couldnt come close to pulling it off and advise me to try going with something else.
