It wasn't until I was waiting for my change that I began noticing the similarities between who I was buying from and the stuff I had viewed on CK's website.

    I've Seen them at 3 more events since then and still no sign.

    Next time you see them, walk right up to Ralph and badger him about his shoddy service and inability to take care of customers. Hopefully there will be customers there that hear.

    Unfortunately the BBB has a file on him and he is UNSATISFACTORY.

    I've heard back from him and the UPS thing said he received my return. Let's see how the rest of this nightmare turns out.

    Does he realise what p--- poor publicity he has?

    I have good friends that were wholesellers that worked with Ralph who were out at least $400 from this him.

    Even if I could just buy the item from him then and there at a games I wouldn't.

    Cheers

    OK, I just had a whiny call from Ralph Weir about my chargeback from Amex and complaint to BBB. Both of which he blew off, not to mention his e-mails from me.

    Anyway, he was blaming all this on the distributor instead of that he refused to deal with anyone.

    So, I just left a message on the BBB website saying that I talked with owner and he said fault was with the distributor.

    I must be the only guy who ever got anything from this guy - one time and on budget! It was several years ago so keep that in mind. Having said that - I think I'll chalk it up to beginners luck and steer clear.

    Thumbs down Clansman Knitwear

    They beat me out of $700 dollars, a deposit on two special weave kilts I ordered. The tent representative was sent to jail on something unrelated and my money disappeared. I wrote to the company and have not received any response.

    It seems that Ralph Wier got into some financial difficulty and the company was taken over by a Pakistani group.

    You are better served using USA Kilts, Bear Kilts, or Blanford and Son. They deliver. These other guys are just rip-off artists.

    Wow, this thread just keeps popping up time after time. It's four years old and almost no one is happy it seems.
