Glimm Screens, B.V., Bjorn Bijster Never attempt to do business with this company or its owner! Gronigen The Netherlands

Glimm Screens, B.V. and its owner (and perhaps sole employee) Bjorn Bijster ripped off my family business for the tune of around $40,000 USD in 2011 of which we never received a single product or service from Glimm or Mr. Bijster, who maintains (and will probably refute this claim) that the products are all there (at his office/warehouse) and that they simply need to be picked up and that all of this is our fault somehow, and that his excellent communications have always been maintained.. When, in fact, if the products actually did exist, he would/should have shipped them a long time ago, but it is my theory that Mr. Bijster continues to do business by ripping people off for their money, while assuming that they will never come after him in court (or otherwise). Suffice to say, what Mr. Bijster does is WEAR YOU DOWN with his nonsense, non-communications, and leads you constantly in circles until you finally "give up" (considering that you still have a business to run). It's part of his whole act, in addition to his ability to play "nice guy" which was the case when my father and brother personally visited him in The Netherlands (which cost an additional $2,000+). After that visit, Mr. Bijster assured us that the products would be delivered, and we had a major client on the line who provided $10,000 (of which Mr. Bijster gladly took). So, then our company was being pressured by a client and we had to provide the remedy by finding the identical product from another vendor, thereby costing us an additional $10,000 USD loss to appease the client and save face. All told, stay far far away from this con man- he probably is a degenerate gambler and owes people money everywhere- so he'll piggyback his past problems by suckering someone in the present to pay for the past, and then continues to somehow survive and maintain a "front" that he calls a company. Additionally, other vendors and companies we have worked with in the industry have reported similar claims of being ripped off- and we have a pending lawsuit in The Netherlands- although I'm sure we're not the first in a long line of people and companies seeking to recover something. It's shocking that his government allows this guy to keep doing business.

I wonder if Mr. Bjorn wants more ripoff links related to his company???

#4UPDATE EX-employee responds

Mon, August 04, 2014

When we first started we used Tim's company for our first printing of shirts. On the phone the guy was great, he said he would make the shirts look amazing, if the shirt colors we chose didnt look right he would let us know. Tim's a really good salesman on the phone, he talked about tons of work he does out of Vegas. He sold Rockstar Screen Printing like a 4 star company.  But a little red flag came up when he said he didnt want to use PayPal for our order because of the fee's etc... so we trusted him & gave our credit card over the phone. After doing it I notice the other calls he said he would give us before he started printing stopped. So I thought about it & after a day or so I cancelled my credit card because I just had a weird feeling about the guy. 

Now Tim never did anything with our credit card number, he didnt charge anything extra - but we never gave him the chance too. I want to make that perfectly clear.

I emailed him no response, over & over. But when I wrote him from another email pretending to be someone else I got a response in less than a day!

He said the shirts would be done over the weekend, in less then a week, etc. We didnt get those shirts for close to a month! Plus they were smashed into the smallest boxes possible to save on shipping. (We've used a ton of other companies since & none have done this, they are folded with care. Not Rockstar!

Now as for the actual shirts they were horrible!!! It was a simple design, his mockup look nothing like the actual shirts! The design wasn't 3 finger lengths from the shirt collar. Some were 3 most were 5 or more fingers. Whats even worse out of the 100 shirts we got printed I'd say 75 of them were crooked! Im not saying "slightly" crooked but like to the point anyone with a business in their basement would never even have send it!! We got another shirt design in the same order & the mockup had the design huge on the shirt like we wanted - but the shirts we got the design was more than 50% smaller then the mockup. It was even close to what he promised. Like I said at the time we just started & $750 was alot of money, this was our first printing & this jerk could careless on the product. 75% of the shirts were drastically crooked!! Plus the colored shirts he said he would let us know if there would be to dark for the black ink. He never did that he just printed all 15 brown shirts with black ink where you cant even see the design! Hey if you printed 1 & sent us that bad one, fine thats understandable... But to print 15? Your printing, taking the shirts off, setting up the printing station 4 times & printing another & another & another in the same color 15 times???

We couldn't use more than 75% of both orders & to this day I look at the few we have left, because we used them rags to clean up stuff or where them as shirts to work in. But everytime I look in the mirror at all these crooked shirts that Tim & "Rockstar" Printing is a true incompetent scumbag. I see since we made our orders he must have gotten so many bad reviews he just changed the name of the company.
