Complaint Review: Megatech International Incorporated

I just read something regarding new BBB ratings.
I thought I'd check to see what Megatech International's rating currently is.
Oh. I managed to provide them a BBB A rating. How nice for them.
So that's how the BBB rates a company that lies about the condition of something that was returned to them and breaks an agreement to a child.
Megatech was really bad to us, so I wonder what a company is like with an BBB F rating??????

...and that thought leads you to understand that the BBB ratings are TOTALLY WORTHLESS. In fact I'm concerned how worthless they are and how they mislead people.

Take for example 1 small shop complaint that wasn't able to be resolve a single small situation for whatever reason. Something where the 2 sides disagree but are able to accept it and go separate ways, but not agree. Just one item on the BBB system. They get an F rating (they don't have any other resolved's to offset it).
Compare this to Megatech's report at the current time and they have 6 complaints.
That 'Administratively closed' one should be mine. There was no BBB mediation, BBB just closed it because Megatech did something/anything. Megatech has 5 other reports to offset against this really bad report.

So compare the Small Shop against Megatech.

The small shop looks incredibly bad with an F rating from only 1 small BBB report.
Megatech International smalls like roses with an A rating, and there's absolutely nothing displayed on the report that looks like this Ripoff Report is contained within their reports or rating.

When you get to the real issues, the real reports, that's when you see the truth about a company.
BBB reports are meaningless and dangerous.
BBB ratings and meaningless and dangerous.
Ripoff Reports tells it like it is. You see the Bad Scam companies here because consumers dealing with Bad Scam companies, such as Megatech International, don't get to mediate at the BBB, so if they're going to be heard they have to find the other consumer reporting sites such as Ripoff Report.

I'd love to be able to tell people, yes, use Ripoff Report AND use the BBB ratings too.
NO, DON'T DO IT!!!!
I often find myself going back to those thoughts, that the BBB data overall might be useful.
NO.
BBB reports are meaningless and dangerous.
BBB ratings and meaningless and dangerous.

Did you know that Megatech International could simply reopen my BBB case, and the 'Administratively closed' status would vanish, the 6 complaints would turn into 5, and the A rating might just turn into an A++, and for 2 or 3 months they could waste as much timeas they originally did, responding at the last minute of their allowed response time, and all the while have that really bad complaint open, doing nothing, and off their record.
Really!!!!!!
and a lot of companies are doing this.
That's the BBB for you.

BBB reports are meaningless and dangerous.
BBB ratings and meaningless and dangerous.

BBB is heavily biased towards companies.

And to get back to Megatech International, they are a lot worse than the BBB.
Megatech International is a company that lies about the condition of something that was returned to them and breaks an agreement to a child.
...and that's the truth. The Ripoff Report truth, a real rating, and I wouldn't post it if it wasn't.

I have received no reply from Megatech staff as usual, but I did receive a communication. It indicated that Megatech blocked my communication and deleted it before it reached its recipeints, and may possibly be blocking/deleting future communications.

I have contacted the Megatech webmaster to forward on the e-mail originally sent to the correct recipients, to correct the problem, and for a status regarding this blocking / deleting message issue.

Good webmasters are alert, monitoring for system problems and are responsive to them.

I look forward to hearing from the Megatech webmaster very soon.

I've noticed the following on the Megatech.com web site:

"Buyer Beware! Buyers should beware of imitation products when purchasing.
Megatech spends considerable time making sure that our consumers get the
best and most durable High Perfomance Products on the market. To do so, all
our products are carefully tested and all packages are sealed with our
Megatech seal of approval."


My experience is that if I'm a buyer looking at a Megatech International product in future, I should beware. I should be very aware of what's contained in this ripoff report. Look at this company. They can't even spell PERFORMANCE, and it's not the first time I've caught them with spelling and grammar mistakes in important places.
If Megatech International cares so little about a single paragraph promoting a new and important product in their product line, how much care do I think Megatech International will provide me if I have to contact them?

Just read the report(s) for detailed experience regarding Megatech International customer care, or should I call that customer fighting?

This promotional paragraph mentions the Megatech International's careful testing and their package seal of approval.
This is likely different than their repair center careful testing and multi person signed seal.
In my experience none of the 2 forms of careful Megatech testing or careful Megatech box sealing or careful Megatech seal signing did anything to improve on a product that simply doesn't work. Megatech = Dud right out of the box.
I haven't had a Megatech product that worked.
...and Megatech continued to run my warranty and run it out during all their repairs.
So I have never had a Megatech product that worked, and my warranty has expired.
Please explain this?

I do not trust Megatech at all. They're untrustworthy. They lied to me.
Jon Lodato, let's hear that Megatech recorded conference call with Ripoff Report's Ed listening in if you disagree with my comments about Megatech. Let's listen.

I'm very disappointed that retailers choose to buy and sell Megatech International products. They simply expose customers like myself to the problems listed in the Ripoff Reports and other locations. It's really bad of them to choose to ignore studying their supplier's quality, all for a fast buck at the cash register. Places like Target, Costco and ToysRus. Why would they expose me as a potential customer to the details I've listed in this report? Why on earth would they expose themselves to the problems listed?

I now more than ever dedicate this report to making sure nobody else falls victim to Peter Winston's Megatech International, as my young child has, and ToysRus customer Joe's Mamma has. Both 2 product failures.
2 customers treated in this way is 2 customers too many.

I wrote a letter to Mr. Peter Winston, President of Megatech International - roughly the following:

Dear Mr. Winston,

If you were a retailer or wholesale distributor or even a sales rep, would you want to be involved with products from a manufacturer that would do the things your company has done to me? What retailer in the US would want to associate itself with a company that goes to the lengths you've gone to, to avoid fulfilling an agreement you made. What retailer in the US would want to associate itself with a company that lied to achieve it? What retailer in the US would want to associate itself with a company that goes to these extreme lengths to wrongly stop a young child customer from having their birthday present, and not only that, fought the customer after the young child's birthday, and through Christmas, the next birthday and the next Christmas too, and is still fighting?

A young child who didn't receive a birthday present or your promises.

What retailer in the US would want to associate itself with a company that provided a manufacturer certified and sealed product replacement that didn't show any sign of life. A replacement that in my opinion showed more signs that it was sent "deliberately bad", and sent in that state in perfect timing to arrive on Christmas eve, as Megatech International had already destroyed the child's birthday.

What retailer in the US would want even a slim chance of their customer experiencing any one of the problems I have listed over the years regarding Megatech International?

What retailer / wholesale distributor / sales rep in the US would want to risk future business and their good reputation based on a Megatech bad product and Megatech anti-customer service, when there are other companies that make products that work and are prepared to back the product and even help the customer if a difficult situation arises?

It's Christmas day and Megatech International failed again.

Peter Winston's Megatech now has a track record of failing to provide a quality product for not one birthday, not one birthday and one Christmas, not 2 birthday's and one Christmas, but:

Megatech has failed to rectify a problem for a young child for 2 birthdays and 2 Christmas days...

and Peter Winston was e-mailed the very day of the problem...

and they are fighting against us over a product of the quality as shown in this link:

http://www.ripoffreport.com/images/reports/345723-1.jpg

Look at that battery compartment and look at all those stickers, and that's just some of the minor problems.

Never disrespect the customer. You may classify this as a cheap product that's not worth the bother to you or me (cheap to VP Deans, but a fair sum to others), but when you disrespect the customer, a product's value becomes meaningless.

Jon Lodato, VP David Deans, President Peter Winston

I wish you a Christmas with the quality of your product pictured in the link
and a very very long new year.

As Peter Winston is involved in the horse racing business which generally equates to the betting odds of one horse winning versus the others in the race.

What are the odds of a customer's product failing? A product from a good company wouldn't provide good odds of a failure.
Megatech's first product managed to fail.

What are the odds of a customer receiving a replacement that failed?
A replacement from a good company would generate high odds.
Megatech's replacement product managed to fail right out of the box.

In addition to that, what would the odds be of product failure if the replacement was checked as working, in fact, double checked? For a certified working replacement, double checked and signed from a good company, the odds of failure would be very steep to sky high.
Megatech's double checked replacement managed to fail right out of the box.

But, what would the odd be if the customer prior to purchase had already read about someone else receiving a blimp failure right out of the box?
If this related to a good company, stratospheric odds.
Megatech managed to do this to ToysRus' Joe's Mamma (see above).

And what would the odds then be if their 2nd blimp also failed?
If this related to a good company it would be almost infinite odds.
Megatech managed to do this to ToysRus' Joe's Mamma (see above).

But that's not the end.
What would the odds be if while searching for something else the customer came up with another product failure, and yes, another double failure. The customer wasn't even looking for it.
If this related to a good company there would be no way to describe the size of the odds.
But Megatech managed to achieve it.

Megatech seems to be highly skilled at generating multi failure product experiences for toy purchasers.

I really think Megatech International should print a better motto on their boxes.
"Megatech, odds on, another dud right out of the box".


I've been wondering why Megatech's Peter Winston has never replied to my communications. What is he doing that stops him dealing with the situation where his company has stopped a young child from having their birthday present and the replacement on Christmas day and has fought the child for a
year? A roughly $60 item retail (much less at cost to them) and the compensation.

I've learned he breeds.

He's a qualified horse breeder and is involved with Star Track Farms www.startrackfarms.com
also at www.robertsfox.com/star_track_stable.htm
Marshall Winston and Peter Winston are both involved with the Star Track Farms horse racing - breeding owning partnership operation. The racing stock commence their racing activities at the New York upstate venue at Finger Lakes, a racetrack where the Winston racing stock has won many stakes races often a multitude of times.


I can see it was alleged Peter Winston didn't pay $50,760.00 for the boarding and care of horses at the State University of New York Cobleskill Equestrian Center and ended up in court.
http://ny.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.%5CNY%5C2008%5C20081010_0010255.NY.htm/qx

In this law case there is the sentence "According to Mr. Whelihan, he and Mr. Winston discussed "directly" the terms of the agreement".

Here I am in the same boat as the alleged problem at the State University of New York Cobleskill Equestrian Center where Peter Winston of Megatech has allegedly reneged on a firm handshake agreement, just like Megatech did to me.

There are costs, see above websites, but for the lucky, there are also winnings, and here are some figures from 2003 and other years.
Excerpts from www.nybreds.com
Star Track Farms' homebred MOTHER'S SACRIFICE went head-to-head with fellow filly So Sweet a Cat in Finger Lakes' $155,863 New York Breeders' Futurity on Labor Day, and won by a length and a quarter. Mother's Sacrifice boosted her earnings by $93,518 to $141,503 in two winning starts for the Star Track Farms of father-son Marshall and Peter Winston of North Bergen, New Jersey and also qualified breeder Peter Winston, who is owner and president of Megatech toy manufacturers, for the maximum $10,000 breeder award. Star Track Farms obviously knows how to acquire inexpensive New York-bred yearling fillies that turn out to be exceptional both on the racetrack and later as broodmares. For $6,000 at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic's 1988 October yearling sale, Star Track Farms purchased eventual 1990 Champion New York-Bred Three-Year-Old Filly Jack Betta Be Rite ($350,399), whose five winning offspring to date include the late four-time New York-bred stakes winner, Grey Comet ($355,455).

Mr. Peter Winston appears to be able to have a lot of fun, while my child didn't receive a birthday present or a replacement on Christmas, and has had to fight his company Megatech International, then fight it through the BBB, then through Ripoff Report for over a year for a $60 product. Megatech is still fighting against this child. Two products that were duds right out of the box. Didn't work, but
Peter Winston says he has the best possible consultant for a toy maker -- his elementary school-age son.
Peter Winston, president of North Bergen, N.J., radio-controlled toy manufacturer Megatech, said a drawing by his son, Beryl, helped inspire the HeliChopper, a radio-controlled, battery-powered helicopter, one of the star attractions at this year's HobbyVisions show at the Sands Expo and Convention Center. "Beryl's always giving me ideas. He was always saying 'Daddy, Daddy, we ..."
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5553/is_200310/ai_n21863738

So Peter, you do have a young child, and YOU know, and you know your son Beryl Winston knows how important presents/toys are and young child's birthdays and Christmases.

I totally accidentally found a site modelgeeks.com that had a bad review of the Megatech Helichopper, where the user had not just one failure, but the replacement failed too (both failed, just like my problem).
http://www.modelgeeks.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/air/3986/Megatech-Helichopper
It described another of their products, the Merlin being woefully underpowered. The article also described America's Hobby Centre Megatech as one and the same, as I've read at various places. A Winston family enterprise, with Peter Winston creating Megatech in 1990.

There is a lot of information showing AHC - America's Hobby Center in New York as one and the same as Megatech International, and lists Marshall Winston (Peter Winston's father) as the head of the AHC side, although some list Peter Winston as secretary and President (hard to tell, maybe it's changed over the years? cortera.com, manta.com).

http://www.playthings.com/article/CA452012.html
Shows Marshall Winston as the owner of America's Hobby Center in New York at that time (Peter Winston's father).

If I were a horse racing betting man and I bet on the thoroughbred stallion breeder stakes and won I'd be a star track better.
If after all of this genuine customer care by Peter Winston's North Bergen , NJ Megatech company, I bet on him coming through before the anniversary of my child's birthday, I'd be a very foolish better.

So Megatech RC toy models company thinks it is good business to leave a child without their birthday present for a whole year?
Megatech model RC toy President Peter Winston, do you approve of that?
You would be a unique model toy company and a unique rc model toy company president to do something like that. How many years will it be before you do the right thing for a child Megatech President Peter Winston?
Are you going to continue to hide in your office or are you going to explain to me here why your products are duds right out of the box, fail to work right out of the box, twice (even when double checked by your workers).

You personally said that your products work right out of the box.
I've had 2 fail right out of the box. I've never had one work right out of the box. They are duds right out of the box.

Explain to me here why your DOUBLE CHECKED replacement was sent to us in secrecy to arrive on Xmas day in a state where it could not have worked.

Explain that in detail right here President Peter Winston. It means only one thing to me.

Where someone that has had a product fail on their birthday and has had the replacement arrive and fail on xmas day, and you were informed of the failures within a day on both occasions, Explain how you could hide from this, why you cower under your desk, avoiding the problem. Megatech President Peter Winston, explain why you would allow someone who has been through that and much more to be treated in this way. Megatech President Peter Winston, you have the ability to determine if these events were a problem for the customer, and you have the ability to determine if you should act in a positive or negative manner, and to the scale of the problem.

You have a lot of explaining to do Megatech President Peter Winston.

For the last post I need to provide the full name of the great organization I mentioned:
The "Toy Industry Foundation" (TIF).

It is the philanthropic part of the North American Toy industry. Toy industry association representatives and independent members from the toy industry and philanthropic community make up its board of trustees.

As always, as posted before, because of Megatech International RC model toy, my child did not get a fall 2007 birthday present.
It was a badly manufactured product (as seen in the photos), and it was a dud out of the box as was its replacement, (yes, not one failure, but 2) then Megatech toy rc models completely turned against us. For nearly a year my child has not had a birthday present.

Jon Lodato, call Ripoff Report's Ed so we can listen to the recorded conference call you recorded. Just pick up the phone, he can help you with it, or give the recording to President Peter Winston and let him handle it with Ed if you are too busy.

I just discovered Megatech International RC model toy is on the 2007 donor list of the Toy Foundation.
The Toy Foundation is a great cause.
They bring newly manufactured toys to children in need.

Firstly and again, my child is not a child in need, so please do not think it's the end of the world because my child does not have a fall 2007 birthday present because of Megatech r/c model toys (of course though, we do have some days when it feels like the end of the world). We just have to view it as a good example of how harsh small private companies of the world can be to a child. A learning experience.

What I find interesting here is a company that is ripping off kids in 2007 (ourselves and Joe's Mamma) is at the same time in 2007 donating to charity.
Does Megatech model r/c toys have a separate hard nosed department and kind gentle department separated by a 50 foot brick wall, with no form of communication and they never meet?

I find it very interesting that Megatech is ripping off children while providing charity to others, because it makes no sense.

Does Megatech toy model r/c truly care about children in need, or is it just a tax deduction to them? Does Megatech r/c toy model truly enjoy ruining a few kids birthdays and Christmases or is this just Megatech toy r/c model business efficiency, saving dollars for other purposes?

I'll never know, but it's something, because ripping off children who don't have a fall 2007 birthday present yet, and providing charity to children in need, who receive a 2007 present generates a mindboggling complex equation that makes no sense.

Megatech International RC model toy ripped off my child.

I just hope they continue to donate to the Toy Foundation good cause, and hopefully this isn't run by John Lodato, David Deans or Tony Williams who may take back their agreed donation just as they took back our firm agreement and left our child without a fall 2007 birthday present.

Would Megatech International trust the Toy Foundation assistants and volunteers, good people, as indipendent witnesses to the opening of the Megatech bullied / forced upon us unopened package? You're too scared to have a legally bound person witness it, but seem to have trust in the Toy Foundation people.

I just read on the Toy Foundation site - "You may qualify for a tax deduction up to twice the cost of the donated product".

and VP David Deans valued my $50+ present (which contained handset, gondola and 2 balloons and more) with his 2 additional balloons as bully forced reduced compensation a $100+ value. I'd hate to think what VP David Deans would value 2 full boxes. With that fuzzy math you could generate a substantial figure.

The box contains a slip saying:

" DO NOT RETURN this product to the store.
Call us Toll-Free and we will have you up and flying in no time! "

... and that is what manufacturers normally want. They normally want to provide superior service to a customer, and they want to know when their product has a problem and what the problem is, so they can ensure it doesn't happen again and cause more returns losing them money and credibility.

This item was an internet purchase, as no stores carried it, so in theory it would be better to go through the manufacturer.

but the reality is the manufacturer is Megatech International model RC toy.

Here's another line I read on their return policy, just to give you an idea of their view of good timescales:

"Any discrepancy must be identified to Megatech within 48 hours of receipt."

That's a lot of time isn't it. Most companies would work with a customer on something like that, but Megatech has stated this for some reason, so expect it to be fully enforced just like their warranty scam.

and another:

"If for some reason you are dissatisfied with your purchase .... we will help you make arrangements to have the product repaired, replaced or credited."

Strange, there's no "refunded" word in that line. Dissatisfaction is normally associated with the "refund" word.

Why didn't you just return it when it did not work out of the box? I did not read your rant totally but seems kind of hopeless?

Peter Winton President of Megatech model RC toys company.
What is your company's criteria for determining which customers will be treated badly by Megatech staff and ripped off by your Megatech model RC toys company?
I wonder why you have treated us so badly and this information will also be good for the general public if they are ever be interested in a Megatech RC model toys company product.
What can a member of the general public do to ensure they receive caring elevated priority service when their Megatech RC model toy fails a second time (or a first time for that matter) just like our Megatech RC model toy did, and failed twice for ToysRus Joe's Mamma.

Megatech treated us like dirt, and it very much sounds like you did the same on a double failure for Joe's Mamma and others.

Where a product fails twice a company would normally throw their hands up in the air, give in, and do whatever it takes to solve the problem, they're so embarrassed.

Megatech toy RC model company instead goes the other way and tries to get out of the problem at the customer's cost, leaving them holding the bag. I have a fair sum of money tied up in the success of this mid Nov 2007 birthday present, but the extremely dirty company Megatech is making that a loss for me.

Dirty Jon Lodato, let's listen to that recorded phone conversation with Ripoff Report's Ed or one of his helpers. Prove you're not dirty if you dare. Offering and offering, but we couldn't trust you/Megatech, so you threaten to remove it, threaten a father/child just because they have to use mediation due to no trust in you/Megatech (based on experience). Then you act, on a father and birthday/christmas destroyed child, Megatech RC model toy customers, removing your firm handshake.

This extremely dirty company Megatech RC model toys has left me holding the bag.

Megatech RC model toys is treating this customer like dirt when after 2 Megatech RC model toy failures they should be treating us or any customer that's experienced anything like this, like a king. 2 failures.

2 dud dirty Megatech.

The child is still waiting for the Mid Nov 2007 birthday present.

Dirty Jon Lodato, let's listen to that recorded phone conversation with Ripoff Report's Ed or one of his helpers!

Dirty Jon Lodato. Haven't you figured out yet that we're just a father and child. You've spoken to me. We tried to get that blimp gondola working, remember. We worked together and powerded it up, pleased until we found a propeller didn't work.
If you think we're not a simple father and birthday child, let us know.
Why on earth would you let anything get in the way of solving the problem for a simple father and birthday (and Christmas) child?
Why on earth would you want one of your retailer's customers to be treated like dirt? Why on earth would you not want to solve a problem for one of your retailer's customers.
These retailers generally go to the biggest largest model toy trade show, the biggest largest rc model trade show, but they'll get no ripoff data there. If a company spoke to Megatech RC model toy at a model aircraft toy trade show and thought the blimp aircraft I purchased looked great, how would they ever know about the service you've provided me that could destroy their customer base if it was repeated more (as I was a repeat of ToysRus Joe's Mamma). Should one of your retailer's customers be treated like dirt. How should a retailer feel when its customer is treated like dirt for following instructions and taking the problem to the Manufacturer for superior service (only to be treated like dirt by Megatech models rc toy company). How should a retail toy buyer purchaser feel if they select double failure dud toys for their product range? How should they feel if the manufacturer service on double failure dud model RC toys is dirty to their customer? Are they going to want to see a giant large or huge wholesale RC model toy catalog from a manufacturer that has treated a customer like dirt? Treated a birthday / Christmas destroyed child like dirt. What company would consider going so low. Are you just trying to save a buck. I can't think of a company that would do this to a child that had their birthday / christmas destroyed. I wonder what a young child really thinks of a company that destroys their birthday / Christmas. I suppose my child is one of the children that will never see their birthday present. I had tried to purchase the best present I could. I'm sure there are many children that may never see a $60 birthday present, many that will have no present at all, so my child will have had some experience of that and what it's like to be ripped off by a very dirty company, Megatech models RC toy company.

Megatech is in the toy industry.
Megatech is producing products for children / family.

Why does Megatech rc model toys treat a birthday / christmas child like this?
Why is Megatech toy RC model in the RC toy model trade, serving childern / families that it would prefer to treat like dirt using the dirty ways of its dirty staff?

Dirty Jon Lodato, let Ed and myself hear that recorded phone conversation if this is not how it is, and we can let the toy trade retailers, model toy magazines, model toy publications, RC model retailers, RC model magazines, rc model publications, RC model trade retailers, RC model associations, RC hobby retailers, RC hobby magazines, RC hobby publications, RC hobby trade organizations, RC hobby associations, model RC retailers, model RC magazines, model RC trade retailers, model RC magazines, model RC publications, model RC trade organizations, model RC associations, fathers, mothers and the meek of the world know different, right here. Just have Ed conference us both in to listen to the recorded phone conversation.

Dirty Jon Lodato, do you know how much pain is involved in 2 duds right out of the box, mid Nov 2007 birthday and 2007 Christmas destroyed? Dirty Jon, I ask if you would be involved in such a thing? Dirty Jon Lodato, I don't have to ask. Dirty Jon Lodato, you did it, you are central to this Megatech R/C models toys problem. You did it dirty Jon Lodato. You left a child without a mid Nov 2007 birthday present and treated the child like dirt. The child knew of your offer immediately. Dirty Jon Lodato, you don't remove an offer from a child. Dirty Jon Lodato does.

Let Ed and myself hear the phone conversation you recorded. You highlighted it by telling me it was recorded. Highlighting it in a way as to suggest the Megatech RC model toy customer can not be trusted and should be recorded. How did you expect it to feel Dirty Jon Lodato? I'm Dirty Jon Lodato, I'm running the show, I'm going to record you. Very impressive Mr. Dirty Jon Lodato. Can't you do something better with your time than have multi staff recorded conference meetings, like resolving problems well for the hopefully few birthday children that have had their Megatech model fail. Surely the manufacturer costs behind a near $60 product are tiny in comparison to the costs behind just one multi staff conference call with a customer. You're just trying to be difficult. You were just acting dirty.

Dirty Jon Lodato, let Ed and myself hear the phone conversation you recorded, or instead begin the large Megatech International reputation repair process with Ed (I'm willing to listen to that recorded phone conference if you desire).

Dirty Jon Lodato, this customer service, BBB and Ripoff Report process you have forced us through has generated terrible costs for the simple act of trying to buy a unique and special $60 mid Nov 2007 birthday present for some happy days with my child.

Dirty Jon Lodato, you ruined that.
Why take any peice of ruining a birthday. Why take any peice of extending that to ruining a Christmas day too. Why take it further and battle against a child and father losing out on a birthday and Christmas? Why? Why for any reason at all? Why would that be good for Megatech International?
Why?
And that's why I keep coming back to saying it must be in the Megatech genes.
Megatech must work like this.
This must be how Magatech works.
It's not abnormal.
Megatech enjoys this.
ToysRus' Joe's Mamma didn't spend time writing here review for no reason.
I'm not writing for no reason. I wouldn't be writing all this if I wasn't treated badly and didn't have 2 duds right out of the box. 2 products that arrived and didn't work.

Dirty Jon Lodato, let Ed and myself hear the phone conversation you recorded, or instead begin the large Megatech International reputation repair process with Ed.

I'll give you a clue as to what is the most efficient route. Management is always wanting to save on time, people, money. They want minimal problems, but realize some things are just costs of doing business. Some things you can afford to spend time on, but some things you can't afford not to. Some bad business practices are worth repairing but they sometimes aren't when the company is not important to the employees.

Do you care about your Megatech International company Dirty Jon Lodato?

Do you want Ed to hear the recorded phone conversation, or do you just want to throw your hands up in the air and agree with the ripoff report on how you've acted and go about restoring a child's birthday and Christmas day and the nearly year you've messed this customer around. Making this into a positive experience.
How would you make this into a positive experience Dirty Jon Lodato?
Imagine if this was your child, and you had written all this, the BBB too and all the communications with Megatech. How would you feel? What do you think the costs to yourself and child are? What do you think you would expect to make this huge problem right? It's huge isn't it?, but you got it here Dirty Jon Lodato. You didn't mediate at the BBB and now you're here mediating at Ripoff Report whether you like it or not. So out of "whether you like it or not", which do you choose? Not much of a choice you say. Well, let me recommend one. Go for "like it". You can like the fact a consumer has spotted a flaw in your business practices. Like it. Say sorry. Accept to yourself that you and Megatech will never again do this to a customer. Post it here.

Dirty Jon Lodato, begin the large Megatech International reputation repair process with Ed of Ripoff Report if you haven't already, and "Like it".

We wish we had a working model blimp just like the ones we have seen at the NASCAR racing tracks. Megatech model toys president Peter Winston, wouldn't it be great if any one of the dud airship blimps your staff enclosed in Megatech packaging had actually worked and my child was able to use as a radio controlled RC model NASCAR race day blimp or airship, hovering it over over a NASCAR racetrack. It is a pity your Megatech model toys company ripped us off and provided us with 2 duds right out of the box. We like to play with NASCAR models of any of the following driver's NASCAR model race cars, which a model company president is sure to appreciate too:

Megatech model toys president Peter Winston, you still have not addressed the ripoff report. Three quarters of a year and a child has been without a birthday present all that time, all because Megatech model toys product was chosen as a present. I put faith in a Megatech model RC toys product for my child's birthday and Megatech model toys didn't come through, for a simple birthday present. I put faith in Megatech model toys lead service Jon Lodato to come through for us and do right when a birthday had been destroyed by the Megatech RC model toys product. Jon Lodato failed. All the other staff at Megatech RC model toys failed us too. Megatech RC model toys actively worked against the customer. Megatech RC model toys president Peter Winston was contacted on day one, with a birthday photo and has never provided the courtesy of a reply. Megatech RC model toys president Peter Winston and Megatech RC model toys vice president David Deans and Megatech model toys Jon Lodato and the rest of the Megatech RC model toys staff are ignoring this ripoff report. Ignoring a customer that put faith in their product and purchased it, even after seeing a bad review when I compared / comparison shopped, the customer still put faith in the company.
I liken it to someone having a medical issue and needing help.
A person comes by.
You have no alternative, you need help, you put faith in humanity.
You've all read the stories about what happened next, how the faith didn't pan out.

If I was going to consider purchasing another Megatech RC model toy, I would seriously have to consider it being another product failure. I would have to consider, would I be the customer Megatech RC model toy treated fairly, or would I be the customer Megatech RC model toy treated like dirt (as Megatech RC model toy did with myself and child)? How would I know which manner of service they would provide? How does Megatech RC model toy determine which customers deserve to be treated like dirt? Most companies where I've had a product failure haven't generated these type of thoughts, as they've gone above and beyond and solved the problem with no BBB or Ripoff Report. Megatech RC model toy worked differently and against this customer, and I've read they have worked against others such as ToysRus' Joe's Mamma.

We wish we had a working model blimp just like the ones we have seen at the NASCAR racing tracks. Megatech model toys president Peter Winston, wouldn't your family or your child love to be using a radio controlled RC model NASCAR race day blimp or airship, pretending it was hovering over a NASCAR racetrack. It is a pity your Megatech model toys company ripped us off and provided us with 2 duds right out of the box. We would have loved to have been flying one, possibly with RC models of any of the following RC NASCAR RC model RC race RC cars:

My faith in Megatech RC model toys company, president Peter Winston, didn't pan out at all. I feel like I've been mugged, all because I put faith in Megatech RC model toys company for the most special birthday for my child.

Peter, here are a few other names. You're sure to have played with a few of them.

I haven't heard from you yet Megatech Radio Control toys president Peter Winston. My birthday child (Mid Nov 2007) is still waiting for a birthday present and it's now Aug 15th 2008. Is this how you and Megatech model RC toys treat children for birthdays and christmas?
Our's didn't make a great RC birthday gift or a great RC christmas gift. It didn't make a best RC birthday gift or a best RC christmas gift. Megatech RC toy models won't be making RC birthday gift ideas or RC christmas gift ideas for us this year as Megatech RC toy models have been such a bad company to us. Companies this bad are rare. Official Harry Potter books may be available for Christmas 2009 so we may want to build a collection.

As always Megatech Radio Controlled RC model toys President Peter Winston, it is time to read your Ripoff Report. You have denied a child a birthday and christmas present by ignoring this Ripoff Report. Why do you do this to a child Peter Winston Megatech Radio Controlled RC model toys President?

3/4 of a year and Megatech RC model toys staff has been unable to resolve the problem. A child without a birthday present for 3/4 of a year. The child has been recently asking to use the item, but the child has to wait for Megatech RC model toys to resolve this ripoff report.
2 dud Megatech model toy products "right out of the box", as Megatech RC model toys President Peter Winston proclaims.
Why would a company want to be involved in denying a birthday present to a child?
Why would a company later send a replacement dud product to the child secretly to arrive exactly at Christmas day (even though the parent had asked for a status on shipment and told nothing was in the mail, when shipping records show there was something in the mail). Not just a dud, but had flaws beyond the show stopping failure that was able to be fixed. Why would a company send something like that to a child?

I h o p e n o b o d y e l s e h a p p e n s t o h a v e h a d t h i s t y p e o f p r o b l e m, w h e r e a r e p l a c e m e n t d i d n't w o r k.

Megatech RC model toys warranty scam had my warranty run out in no time. In fact the Megatech RC model toys VP David Deans proclaimed to us he would charge us his nice repair costs next time even though our warranty wasn't at that time expired. Megatech RC model toys can't wait for your warranty to expire so they can assist you with their warranty fee schedule.
Remember we received 2 duds. They never worked.
Megatech RC model toys had the 90 day warranty running for around 2 weeks before we even opened the box and discovered a dud.
Megatech RC model toys messed around with shipping us a label and Jon Lodato adamantly wouldn't stop the 90 day warranty clock from running, wasting 10's of days and 10's of days of that tiny warranty. Another ripoff reporter indicated shipping delay issues and the warranty. Could Megatech model toys be deliberately wasting people's warranty away by deliberately failing mail shipments, to get them to the after warranty fees?
Megatech model toys never stopped my warranty running while the Megatech model toy was in shipping and repair.

Every time I addresses this problem (from the very 1st contact), Megatech was staunch in their 90 day warranty period.

Again, I haven't received a working product and my warranty has expired. What a scam company Megatech RC model toys is.

It's August 11th and stores are already loading shelves with Christmas items.
I would recommend to anyone considering the Megatech model toy we purchased to not purchase it before December 24th, because the warranty runs for your purchase date and Jon Lodato from Megatech model toys can't be talked out of it. A birthday day or Christmas day counts for nothing at Megatech model toys. Purchase date is the warranty start date.
Your Megatech model toy may be purchased on the internet and may be in shipping procesing for up to a week and in the mail for a week. To Megatech model toys that would be 14 days of your 90 day warranty gone, even though you didn't even have the product and could prove it wth a UPS mail tracking ID.
Although Megatech model toys seems to be able to get away with this harsh warranty, it is certainly not consumer oriented or customer number 1 based. It is in reality a warranty scam against consumers.

In either the first report or one of my updates I mentioned I was primed.
I want to ensure the readers that this doesn not indicate I was out of control or anything like that.
I was "internally" angry, but was business like with Megatech in their recorded phone meeting/conference call.

After waiting patiently for a reply from Megatech regarding the Christmas day Megatech (DUD) product failure and the status of the compensation, patiently enough to wait until the 8th of January, I contacted them again and received a phone call from Tony Williams who changed everything: Suggesting I pay to return the product. He said Mr. Jon Lodato was no longer handling situation and I couldn't speak to him. He suggested I accept a lesser offer. He said he was removing Mr. Jon Lodato's agreement from the table.

I was internally angry now.
I had simply received 2 Megatech duds right out of the box, one of these certified as working by Tony Williams. Certified to work on Christmas day. Shipped secretly (I'd asked for status) to arrive for Christmas day. A product that didn't work on Christmas day. A product with contacts that wouldn't contact shipped secretly to arrive on Christmas day. Double verified as fully working? It doubly didn't work, as after I repaired the contacts it still had another problem.
So I was internally angry at hearing Tony Williams and said I would not work with him as he did not know the Lodato firm handshake agreement to the child.

I was internally angry.
Jon Lodato called shortly after with his recorded phone meeting with his band of silent Megatech witnesses.
I stated in the report or updates I was PRIMED for this meeting. This simply meant I was internally angry. I'm sure I didn't sound very happy, but I was business like, or as business like as it's possible to be after what Megatech was doing to my childs birthday present and myself.

So do not think this is a crazy person giving Megatech a hard time now or that he must have been horrible to them in the meeting. No. I initially thought ToysRus's Joe's Mamma's comments could 50/50 be a crank, but it didn't take very long working with Megatech to see the same Megatech customer service problems unfolding with myself. If you ever read any comments related to Megatech, give the crank sounding author the benefit of the doubt, no matter how unreal it sounds. These Megatech staff know what they're doing. Bad service must be in their genes.

Megatech has (and has had more now expired) cases listed at the BBB. As you can tell from this case (which is misleadingly part of their BBB "satisfactory" rating) the simple existance of a BBB case indicates the company was giving the customer such a difficult time they felt no alternative than to contact the BBB, and this always reeks of a bad company. Any company has the ability to work out something to keep a customer happy. There are companies that take pride in keeping a clean sheet at the BBB, or if something does make it to the BBB it's made satisfactory to both parties and the BBB. Megatech isn't achieving either of these. Megatech does instead know how to use the BBB, and to actually make themselves look good through a child's pain. AND, yes BBB New Jersey, you allowed this to happen and gave it a "satisfactory" seal of approval. BBB New Jersey, you took our complaint, logged it as another BBB business statistic that you use and sell (PIMP may be a better term, as you hide the details - it's shady, not open), as BBB credibility. BBB New Jersey, you use a child's pain for credibility!!!!! Don't you see what you're doing? Don't you see why it's terrible that the records aren't viewable by the general public?
Again. BBB New Jersey, you use a child's pain for credibility!!!!!
and again, BBB New Jersey, you use a child's pain for credibility!!!!!
and yet again, BBB New Jersey, you use a child's pain for credibility!!!!!

... and yes folks, I'm internally angry at the BBB too along with a few external keystrokes related to them over here at Megatech central !!!!

Megatech President Peter Winston, do you remember those days as a youngster, model magazines and model catalogs chocked full of model ships, model airplanes, model trains, model warefare equipment, model cars, model vehicles and model spaceships. I liked them all but liked the ships best. Planes are normally peoples favorites and I presume it is what you prefer and like the Megatech models. There was such a great selection of models from planes such as these:

Maybe you're too young for this era Peter Winston, but Peter, alowing your company to Ripoff my child like you're doing is terrible. You know the two products I received from Megatech were DUDS right out of the box, and you know your staff worked against this child's birthday present and Christmas too. You have the birthday photo delivered to you on the birthday in Fall 2007. You ignored it and didn't respond at all, as you ignore us now. You company ignored me in the BBB when I took you there for mediation, but Megatech is experienced in BBB, knows how it works, knows the BBB does nothing and Megatech doesn't have to mediate with the customer or the BBB because the BBB is in reality useless.
This is the Ripoff Report Megatech President Peter Winston. This is the place for people and Company Presidents that Ripoff children. You have ripped off my child. This is why you are on Ripoff Report. I wouldn't waste my time if it wasn't the case. I opened 2 Megatech packages (with knowledge in the back of my mind that a ToysRus Joe's Mamma had been Ripped off by you) and they were both complete DUDS right out of the box.
You will not agree to a legally bound witnessed opening of your 2nd certified replacement box, and I can't open it because you don't agree, and because you broke your firm handshake agreement of compensation.
This is the Ripoff Report Megatech President Peter Winston. This is the place for people and Company Presidents that Ripoff children. You have ripped off my child. It's the place for Toy manufacturers that Ripoff children. MEGATECH.

Megatech Peter Winston, don't you remember what it was like to play with play with models of the old navy ships such as: Bismarck, Tirpitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Schlesien, Schleswig-Holstein, HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Ark Royal, HMS Malaya, HMS Duke of York, HMS Hood, HMS Centurion, HMS Howe, HMS Repulse, HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Anson, HMS Nelson, HMS Barham, HMS Rodney, HMS Warspite, HMS Resolution, HMS Revenge, HMS King George V, HMS Royal Oak,HMS Ramillies, HMS Royal Sovereign, Yamato, Musashi, Kongo, Hiei, Kirishima, Kongo, Haruna, Yamashiro, Fuso, Nagato, USS South Dakota, USS Washington, Marat, Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya, Jean Bart, Courbet, Centurion, USS Alabama, USS Arizona, USS Arkansas, USS California, USS Colorado, USS Idaho, USS Indiana, USS Iowa, USS Maryland, USS Massachusetts, USS Mississippi, USS Missouri, USS Nevada, USS New Jersey, USS New Mexico, USS New York, USS North Carolina, USS Oklahoma, USS Pennsylvania, USS South Dakota, USS Tennessee, USS Texas, USS Utah, USS Washington, USS West Virginia, USS Wisconsin, USS Wyoming, Graf Zeppelin, Flugzeugtrger B, Seydlitz, Ltzow, Zerstrer, Ltzow (ex-Deutschland), Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Scheer, Admiral Hipper, Blcher, Prinz Eugen, Emden, Knigsberg, Karlsruhe, Kln, Leipzig, Nrnberg, Leberecht Maas, Georg Thiele, Max Schultz, Richard Beitzen, Paul Jacobi, Theodor Riedel, Hermann Schoemann, Bruno Heinemann, Wolfgang Zenker, Hans Lody, Bernd von Arnim, Erich Giese, Erich Koellner, Friedrich Ihn, Erich Steinbrinck, Friedrich Eckoldt, Diether von Roeder, Hans Ldemann, Hermann Knne, Karl Galster, Wilhelm Heidkamp, Anton Schmitt, Mwe, Falke, Greif, Kondor, Albatros, Seeadler, Wolf, Iltis, Jaguar, Leopard, Luchs, Tiger, Orion, Atlantis, Widder, Thor, Pinguin, Stier, Komet, Kormoran, Michel, Coronel, Hansa. If I've missed any I'll try to post them as I really liked model ships model sailing ships and model battleships, but I also used to play with model planes, model tanks, model rockets and the like.
I never played with model Airships as I didn't see them in the stores. I had plans to make a hot air balloon, but was always too busy with other things, moving into model rocketry and model missiles. It would have been great to have a model airship or blimp back in those days. It would be great for my child to have had a working model Airship on his fall 2007 birthday, but you and your company work against model enthusiasts. Peter Winston, look at what you and your company Megatech International have done to this child and this customer. Provided us HELL and 2 duds right out of the box. Your statement is "works right out of the box", but in my experience, not 1 but 2 (and one of them certified as perfect), Megatech products are complete duds right out of the box and the Megatech staff work against this customer (and ToysRus Joe's Mamma, so it's not just me). Megatech should not be in the toy model business treating customers like this. Really terrible.
Mr. President Peter Winston, read the ripoff report if you can muster an eye muscle for the benefit of a Fall 2007 birthday child that you have the photo of on the child's birthday. Sent to you on that very day. The first dud right out of the box. Why do you promote these kind of products, that ruin childrens special days? You ruined not only our child's birthday, but that dud you sent us as a replacement ruined Christmas day too, and you kept it quiet it was being sent too. Megatech.
How can you people live with yourselves ruining a child's birthday and Christmas, and we're 3/4 of a year on from the birthday, coming up to the next birthday.
How can Megatech and President Peter Winston be so horrifically terrible. Horrible people and a horrible company. Customer service treated us terrible.

Megatech Jon Lodato,
It's not right that Megatech keeps your recorded phone conference hidden away from an independent ear.
It's not good that Megatech will not agree to a legally bound witnessed opening of the 3rd package you sent us.

It's just no good Megatech.

Why would Megatech make offers? Why does Megatech take them away? Why does the Megatech's nasty VP David Deans ignore us and completely reduce the offer, almost removing it and bully it on us without approval?

Why does Megatech pick on a customer? I'd say is it just me?, but we know of the ToysRus Joe's Mamma report and others too, so this customer service must be built into Megatech genes.

After destroying a child's birthday, the replacement Megatech product failure destroyed Christmas. The child still has no Fall 2007 birthday present.
What kind of monstrous company would allow this to happen?
MEGATECH
Jon Lodato, Tony Williams, Megatech VP David Deans and the President Peter Winston.
All of Megatech would allow this to happen to a child.

Have they ever asked themselves, maybe we might have made a mistake in our judgement?

Megatech has treated the child monstrously, unlike any toy manufacturer on the planet.

Megatech's Jon Lodato, don't you see, either you play your recorded phone meeting or you've failed Megatech. You can't go against this Ripoff Reporter's text published worldwide and hide the recorded phone meeting. That simply admit's Megatech is messing a customer around.

Come on Jon Lodato, let's listen to that recorded phone meeting you kept. Where you were making increasing offers to keep me from taking the problem outside of Megatech control.

I didn't take the offers as I didn't trust you, and in addition, they weren't good enough.

So I took the problem to the BBB and you ignored the customer that took you there. Near the end of the BBB farce, in comes VP David Deans who bullies his much lesser, non agreed upon ideas of a solution onto us.

So Megatech, how can you agree on something, then make a slightly better offer, but when it goes out of your control, remove the agreements and offers?

Does this sound fair?
Does this sound like some brat that's not getting their way?
Does this sound business like?
Does this sound like a business I'd recommend to anyone?
Does this sound like a manufacturer?
Does this sound like a Toy Manufacturer?
Does this sound like anyone that should be in the Toy business?

Jon, you had an agreement that Megatech broke.
Do you not stand by your Megatech agreements?
Shouldn't the other members of Megatech stand by your agreement?

Come on Jon Lodato, let's listen to that recorded phone meeting you kept. Where you were making increasing offers to keep me from taking the problem outside of Megatech control.
I'd be happy to listen in with Ripoff Report's Ed or one of his high level staff members. Privately, as Megatech did a dirty and primed me 30 mins before the meeting took place, so I was fuming. We can have a brief discussion regarding what you were trying to do in it.
In fact, Lets invite in President Peter Winston, VP David Deans, fixer upper Mr. Tony Williams, Creative Director Chris Chianelli, and as many of the Megatech employees that'll fit in your conference room, I bet you have a dandy one. Have some (birthday) cake for everyone, a special break/day for all your workers. Oh, go on President Peter Winston, I'll let you conference in all your Chinese co-workers too.

Jon Lodato, have you for one moment since your agreement was broken by Megatech, considered that this customer might just have received 2 duds right out of the box? You were contacted immediately. I mean it wasn't a week later or anything like that. You knew immediately. VP Peter Winston was actually the first to know, with a birthday photo for crying out loud. You have every reason to believe these were duds right out of the box.
John Lodato, you have all this information, proof etc, you have a customer that wouldn't be wasting his time writing if he didn't receive 2 duds right out of the box.
Has Jon Lodato ever considered any of this?

Jon Lodato, have you ever considered my child still doesn't have a fall 2007 birthday present?
Do you have kids? Did their presents work on their birthday? Did their presents work on Christmas? Well Megatech products managed to fail on both days for us!!!!!, and you Jon Lodato were fully involved in the Christmas failure.
Jon, have you ever considered the proof regarding what was returned to Megatech wasn't the same as Mr. Tony Williams described? What you diagnosed over the phone wasn't the same as Mr. Tony Williams described.
Have you ever considered there may be a good reason for this?

Jon Lodato, the problems with my Megatech Airship 1 and Area 51 blimps were clear and with some proof. But lets look at a more difficult scenario. How would I have been treated If I were a customer where there is no proof, one of those unsure type problems. Most good customer service oriented companies treat these cases as a cost of doing business, as they would rather have satisfied customers. They certainly wouldn't want to be bashing a customer with a real problem. My problem is clear as outlined, and words can't describe how Megatech has acted towards me. I don't even want to think about taking an iffy problem to Megatech.

Out of interest, which vendor provided Megatech customer service training? You all come out with the same "case/matter closed", so it's either passed through the Megatech genes or some vendor is inflicting this bad service on the USA.

I remember John Lodato making a big production of recording the telephone meeting I had with him and his band of silent witnesses in his office.
When I was working with the BBB (you weren't) I suggested the BBB and myself be conferenced in to listen to that recording, but you ignored that and the BBB couldn't anyway.

I suggest you contact Ripoff Report's Ed or one of his high level helpers to see if they can be in the place of the BBB and be an indipendent person listening to that tape. You could pay them for their time, as time is money (as is the this time spent on the Ripoff Report), or I might even be willing to pay.

If Megatech is open and honest it would do this. They would show they are right and the customer is wrong, but they can't.
Let's listen to that tape you recorded!!!!! Remember, the one after Anthony Williams phone call where he had me fuming because he had denied Jon Lodato's agreement.

Megatech has been very very very very Bad towards this customer.

The child has been wanting to play with the birthday present recently, but because the 2 Megatech products I opened were both duds right out of the box, and because the Megatech staff worked against the customer so badly the child can't play with the mid-November birthday present. 3/4 year battling for pete's sake.

Megatech ignored us in BBB mediation, and I discovered BBB mediation was in fact a farce. Megatech did and said whatever it wanted and ignored the customer. They knew the BBB can't do anything. They knew that by simply forcing an unagreed upon shipment (what they wanted to be an acceptable solution) to us they received the gold star of BBB approval, quote: "BBB determined the company made a reasonable offer to resolve the issues, but the consumer did not accept the offer.". Megatech's reliability report currently lists, quote: "The company has a satisfactory record with the BBB", even with everything I've listed from it (above). I have no idea what lurks behind the 10 problems (2 just expired - why let them expire, just let the reader look at posting dates to determine if the company has changed its ways). It is impossible to determine what is actually behind a BBB reliability status, and that in reality makes the BBB service almost worthless. Why bother issuing a status if you the BBB say you can't really do anything to mediate, you can see the company is lying, but you simply have to follow a written procedure that harms the customer and the BBB's credibility.

I wrote to the BBB:

I feel there must have been a mistake. I have presented my case. I've proved they are lying, Even with their own text and words, quote: A button jammed (but their are 2 buttons and none worked) . They haven't addressed anything related to why I brought them to the BBB table, and have ignored all comments. I feel like I've gone to a lot of trouble, and all that effort went to making Megatech smell like roses. All my work to generate a true reflection of the Megatech rotten internals so that the general public has a warning, is all for nothing.

Can you please explain to me how you came to your decision?

Basically the BBB indicated there is nothing they can do.

It is not mediation. BBB just records the text, they don't have to comprehend it. So it's you against the company as it was before, and if the company is a bully like Megatech, you can come out losing, generating a better looking BBB record for Megatech - reliability report quote "the company made a reasonable offer to resolve the issues". Ha Ha.

So I discovered Ripoff Report which does almost everything the BBB should be doing with its customer information. Companies can't get away with treating customers like dirt here and they can't hide from their problems, it's suicidal to do so.

The Megatech staff Jon Lodato, Tony Williams and VP David Deans have acted in the worst possible ways towards this customer, and I don't see them as viable options to work with this customer again. I don't think genuine customer service is in Megatech genes. This leaves the Megatech President Peter Winston who I have never heard from, but he is true to Megatech genes. He was the first person contected by me (on day 1) and he never responed, and he has ignored all my communications since.

As always Megatech President Peter Winston, it's time to read and resolve the Ripoff Report.

The child wanted to play with the birthday present again today.

The defective one is very flat. I can't open the replacement because Megatech VP David Deans didn't send the agreed compensation and isn't willing to have a witnessed package opening. The prior 2 packages, one of them Megatech sealed and double checked/signed, were both duds, failing to work right out of the box. Megatech's VP David Deans, Jon Lodato and Mr. Williams all suggest I am to blame.

I'm not to blame. The Megatech product's were. They were duds right out of the box. Just look at the photos. Megatech shoddily manufactured products.

They have treated this customer very very very badly for nearly 3/4's of a year.
They have treated the Mid November 2007 birthday child, hmmm, are their any words to describe how badly these schoolyard bullies have treated the child, denied what they agreed upon, and act as gods above fairness. A TOY manufacture for crying out loud treating people like this.
Megatech clearly seems experienced in this type of activity with ToysRus' Joe's Mamma and a ripoff reportee receiving the same terrible treatment.

You would almost think this incredibly horrible Megatech treatment was built into Megatech genes. The same wording comes out of them all case/matter closed, regularly.

Megatech's President Peter Winston will as usual ignore the child that wanted to play with the Mid November 2007 birthday present.

I confirmed the e-mail address for Peter Winston at several locations. In the process, at a forum I opened, I noticed another choice comment that closed the threads that Peter Winston was communicating in. It's not the first forum I've seen with a choice comment.

The child was wanting to play with the airship today.
This can't happen because of Jon Lodato going against his firm handshake agreement.

Megatech has done a lot wrong in this problem.
Megatech seems to think ignoring the problem is the best option.

Why is Megatech in the toy model business when it doesn't care about a child.

Peter, haven't you read this yet? Do you not understand the problem?

I have the e-mail address for the Megatech VP, David Deans, that fought against us so horribly. We were never working with him anyway, but with Jon Lodato. Regardless, we had to switch communications to the President Peter Winston. I decided to build an e-mail address for Peter the Megatech President based on the Megatech VP's e-mail address (I'll not publish those addresses). I resent the e-mails I've been trying to send over the last few days, but I also sent it to the address I estimate is Megatech President Peter Winston's e-mail address.
The other 2 addresses failed as they have been failing.
Peter's did not fail.

I now estimate the ripoff report has Landed, and it's right in Peter or his secretary's inbox.

It's a real shame Megatech treats a family in this way. All this time spent working on the ripoff report that could be better spent playing with toys with my children, but Megatech seems to prefer not to honor this family with the reality of the problem. Megatech prefer to ignore the reality.

Peter, it's time to address this ripoff report.
Our problem won't go away until you fix the problem.
Lodato has all the details, just call him in to talk to you.

Possible cause for the e-mail error:

Numeric Code: 5.2.2
First Available: Exchange 2000 Service Pack 3 (previously 4.2.2 in earlier release).
Possible Causes: The recipient's mailbox is over its storage limit.
Troubleshooting: Verify the mailbox storage and the queue storage quota limit.

At least the Customer and Ripoff Report are on top of the e-mail problems at Megatech International....

Megatech's e-mail system has been very problematic during the course of this problem. E-mail addresses that worked, don't work the next day etc.

I tried to forward my last update to Megatech but the e-mail returned something like the following:

Final-Recipient: ?;donotreply@megatech.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.2.2
X-Display-Name: Automated - DO NOT REPLY

I tried again.
The e-mail addresses they have listed on their website provide this message to me.

Does anyone know what this reply/status means?

I have contacted Megatech twice recently for assistance from Megatech President Peter Winston. Megatech's President Peter Winston has not replied to me.

Returning to the problem, I have a few interesting observations regarding it.

When sending out a new replacement product most companies simply grab a box from the shelf, pack it and ship it. Why does Megatech go to the trouble of double testing and double sign offs on the seal? I know you can say it's to provide ultimate assurance, but think about it. If it was manufactured well it would save you all those staff costs and the time and effort.

Also, and this especially relates to Joe's Mamma's ToysRus problem and the crash warranty Megatech tried to rip her off with, this blimp product is not like a flying plane or helicopter that can easily be damaged, even by an experienced pilot. The Blimp goes slow and it has a gigantic cushion of helium filled balloon which for the most part protect the working parts from miscalculated maneuvers. In theory, this product should last much longer than most other RC products that are subject to vastly harsher environments and potential crashes, and longer than a large percentage of kids toys for that matter.

Below in the photo I took of the Megatech Airship 1 and Area 51 blimp's box you see Megatech President Peter Winston's description of the product.

I'll read each sentence:

Megatech products come ready-to-run and ready for fun!
I'm sorry Peter, we've tried to run 2 of your products and none were ready-to-run or ready for fun!

We manufacture the easiest to use, most advanced technology radio control products in the world.
Peter, did you give all your Chinese co-workers each a big box of quality candy for Christmas?

The Airship 1 and Area 51 blimps provide hours of indoor and outdoor fun for kids and adults alike.
Peter, I planned it to be for indoor fun over wintertime but the product and its replacement that you sent didn't work at all right out of the box. It's now the middle of summer because your staff have fought us all the way. It has been no fun for a child or father.

They are so easy to control and perfect for parties, sports events and just plain fun!
I can confirm, not once but twice, this product was not perfect for a party or Christmas, and it hasn't been fun yet.
I certainly would not risk taking one of the 4 products I or ToysRus' Joe's Mamma received to a sports event where fans are relying on it working. There could be a riot or hooliganism when it failed.

If you are looking for quality and performance right out of the box, I invite you to experience Megatech innovation.
In my and ToysRus Joe's Mamma's experience this is not a quality product. They have not performed. They didn't even work right out the box.

The future of RC!
Peter, I expect much better things in the near future.

Peter, it's time to review this problem.

Attn: Peter Winston
Dear Peter,
I sent you information a week ago. I have not received a status update. Can you please send your status.
Thank you.

I have not had the courtesy of an acknowledgment or reply from Megatech. Today is the 4th of July, and the Megatech staff will be having the day off and having fun I'm sure. A rest from all the effort they put in at work. Megatech hasn't had my Ripoff Report for very long, at least not many days.

During those days I've thought about the situation. It's clear Mr. Jon Lodato, VP Mr. David Deans and the others have been working hard against working with the customer. It's clear they have lost sight of the problem. It's clear it would be hard for them if they had to work with the customer.

Megatech President Peter Winston should take over as a fresh mind to evaluate how staff have handled the current Megatech problem. Peter, just take a top level view at first:

The customer's airship worked for 000000.000000000 to infinity, minutes.
The replacement airship worked for 000000.000000000 to infinity, minutes.
Not all the agreed replacement / compensation was sent to the customer.
Megatech broke the compensation agreement.
Megatech has blamed the customer for the problems.
Megatech indicates the customer had received good use of their 90 day warranty, having 000000.000000000 to infinity, minutes of it left. The warranty we paid for is gone, and we haven't had any use of a working product.
The product destroyed a child's birthday.
The 2nd product destroyed a child's Christmas.
And there's a lot more...., which you can study Peter.

Peter, the compensation authorized on November 19th 2007was to compensate for a destroyed birthday earlier in that week. The compensation was an agreement, a firm handshake. That was at the very beginning of this long journey. A lot has happened since. A Christmas has been destroyed by another bad Megatech problem/product., but really Peter, the birthday and Christmas destruction pales in comparison to how we've been treated by Megatech. Read through all the documentation and see how you would feel if it were you who had received these products, if it were you who had their birthday and Christmas destroyed, if it were you who had to deal with the Megatech staff working hard against working with you, Peter, the customer. Four solid months of it, and another three having to rest, then determine what next and prepare it all. We're near the 8 months mark. Peter Winston, I ask you, is the compensation Megatech agreed upon on Nov 19th 2007 a suitable compensation now, for all that your Megatech staff have taken us through? My product cost around $50-00 plus $6 tax. I'd estimate the compensation on Nov-19-2007 would be around a $30-00. That was then. A lot has happened since then. That was $30 for a few days. We've had nearly 8 months of terrible annoyance and anguish generated by Megatech customer service. Does that compensation reflect this?

Peter Winston, President of Megatech. I suggest you review this. Judge if your staff are accountable for the problems. Judge if I am responsible for all this after receiving products that simply didn't work. Study this problem, the staff view and the customer account and determine if business transactions like this for myself and for Joe's Mamma at ToysRus is good Megatech business.

Have a happy 4th Peter, I really mean it, everyone deserves a happy day off, but when you arrive back at work on Monday, take a little time to review this problem.
