So I was calling them trying to get a refund, and of course no answer, or call back. So I've started the process of reversing the charge on my credit card. Should be done by the end of the week.
SCREW YOU CALICO!!!
Way to betray your customers.

I did the same thing last week. Not sure how long it'll take, but it's in the works. The only reason I did this was lack of communication on Calico's part. With voice mail & e-mails not returned, I felt it best to back out.

I'm sorry to hear of Calico not performing. It hurts our trust.
Some of us tried to warn you guys.

Like I said before, "If Richard Lage can put out an excellent product with no upfront money other people can also".

Richard has already proven, if you put out a good product you will have more business than you can handle.

I will be interested to see if anything happens with Calico as the refunds go out.
Last weekend I picked up my new SWR Spectre that I bought just for this upper.
I am going to hang in there.
garandman, I still laugh when I read that!

I'm curious to know how many orders they received payment for.
If it was 100+ orders at $1K per order, that's a lot of money, especially if they have to start giving refunds. I'd rather have the upper than the $1K, but with the lack of communication, I'll take the $$$ now and wait for the product to hit market later.

Yep, me too. I filed a complaint with the BBB. They said they will contact Calico to try to get my $$.

One more thing. I urge all of you that haven't yet to e-mail the better buisness bureau at bbb.org and tell them of your troubles. And those of you that have, please post the outcome.

Filed. They have 10 days to respond once the BBB starts the process.

I'd bet you'll never have to pony up that apology.

I filed a complaint a couple weeks ago with BBB. I gave Calico an option of sending me the items I purchased or a full refund. They did not respond so on the fifth day after sending my 3rd request for the refund I filed a complaint. The BBB emailed me for more info and then they said they would check into it. I also told Calico in my last email that if I had to pursue legal representation I would be going for more than the 100% refund, I will want interest and collection fees as well as any moneys out to obtain the refund. They sent me an email asking me to be patient and understanding. I wonder, what about a class action lawsuit against Calico??

He worked on the prototype of the 9mm calico mag-fed upper, for Len. Then it went to Calico. That's probably why he was first in line for the 22.
