He got a roasting a few years back on Joecustoms when he said that he needed new orders to pay for the plastic to fulfil his existing orders. It shouldn't be the way to run a business.
One of his USPs is the fact he casts in some many different colours, but I also think it is the cause of his problems as he seems to wait until he has sufficient orders before producing casts in a particular colour.
Thumbs up for everything Shishi said, and his business model is indeed a house of cards. the thread on joecustoms was enlightening for me.
I have done 3 orders with Vortious, and went in knowing his "process" He does really good work, and is a nice guy, but the shipping delays and lack of updates was a problem each time.
I had to do paypal cases at the 5.5 month point on the first two orders. He got them out fairly quickly after that with a lot of excuses. The third order was really small and I had heard he had caught up, so I let that one ride. I started following up at the six month mark, and received it around month 9. It had a couple problems, but he had replacements out within a month. so 10 months start to finish for a 25 dollar order.
Like many others, I now send my business elsewhere, though I do like his product.
