    Hey everybody. I came across the site https://farnorthbydesign.com while doing a search on the forums the other night. I really like several of the designs, and even placed an oder for the distressed American flag for the right and left rear quarter-panels.

    My issue is that I have not heard a thing from this guy other than a confirmation of the order, and a confirmation that he got my $$ via PayPal.

    No reply to 2 e-mail inquiries, no phone number listed on the site.

    Has anyone dealt with this place before?

    Also, if this guy flakes out, any recommendations for similar Taco graphics?

    Thanks

    I had custom bedsides done by him. A little slow on delivery but did excellent work. I think I may have heard he's not doing decals anymore, but IDK for sure.

    EDIT: Bought May 2016

    @CBoy808 makes stellar decals and I've used him several times. Wouldn't go thru anyone else.

    Thank you to EVERYONE for the comments and quick replies. Based on what I've read, I'll start a dispute with PayPal and get my $$ back.

    @CBoy808 You're going to be getting some business from me within the next 24 hours!

    If both he and his brother are in business together you'd think at least one of them would address the issue, not just abandon it and keep the paypal going. Hope it gets sorted out.

    UPDATE - I hopped on PayPal about 2 hours ago and filed a dispute and asked for a refund from the seller. BAM....I just got an e-mail from PayPal stating that the "seller" had issued a complete refund.

    Odd that he accesses his PayPal account, but doesn't contact / update his buyers?

    Oh well, I have my cash and will now find a new vendor.

    Cool. Glad you got your money back. Guess it confirms he's not making decals anymore. Hope everyone else got a refund.

    @CBoy808 told me teqdesigns was Far Norths brother, which I dont realize. I've only dealt with Adam (teqdecals) and have had no problems and great service. I am currently waiting on a custom order from teq, have even talked to him today. So they are not one business they are separate
