I ordered $150 of Obama merchandise on 9/16, they charged my card on 09/18. They still have not shipped my order. They don’t respond to messages or emails. Do not order from them no matter which campaign you are supporting!

Well it’s October 4th and the “back up by Oct 1st” page is still up.

They seem to be shipping just enough to appear not to be a fraud. At this point I think we can safely throw the “FRAUD” flag on this outfit, who is delaying (legally, of course) as long as possible. Suspect they will be back in full operation November 5th.

Hope somebody sues them into the stone age.

I received my first order from them after a three week wait. My second order was three weeks ago. I received an email today notifying me that my order would ship by Monday. All backordered items would be cancelled and credited. No indication what is and is not shipping. I eagerly await my mystery grab bag.

Doesn’t smell fishy at all. They seem to be running as smoothly as a Democrat enterprise possibly could.

Well it’s October 2nd and their site still says “we’ll be back up on the 1st”

At this point I would place orders elsewhere, and even go so far as to band together and get signs made locally. Or make your own! No they won’t be as neat but they take more time and that shows dedication. And I think others might pick up on that!

See if they are back online by Midnight (or at least tomorrow morning). I can see a really small outfit getting overwhelmed, whoever at the McCain camp picked them without verifying their capabilities should be relegated to donut duty or something though.

Checked a “Vicky Constable” (FrogLeg administrative contact in the image above) on the HuffPost FundRace site and said she donated $1300 to Huckabee. So might be legit, but just overwhelmed. More digging needs done plus beware of the usual disinfo rumors. Are there any VERIFIED Pro-McCain-Palin vendors out there?

Guess what kids? GOPtrunk.com is not delivering it’s orders, it’s phones are disconnected, and the website is gone. Was this a scam by dems to rip off mc-cain supporters? So, what’s up?

[...] don’t know the future of GOPTrunk after this. There are some reports that they are actually tied to Democrats. I don’t know anything other than published reports. I don’t know if their store [...]
