Sports Connexion rip-off, a waste of time and money
I purchased 12 retail carousels and 108 dozen offically licences products on 10/1/2000 for $20,000. That's when my nightmare began. I delt with a man named Alan Graham initially and then was turned over to Ted Fuller.
-The inventory arrived late
-I received outdated material (The main professional basketball team in our state, the Utah Jazz, had changed colors on their uniform years ago. I recieved the old colors. They wouldn't let me exchange.
-I paid money up front to a Retail Account Placement Service (Nick Mezin)and he never came when he said. Finally, months later when he showed up he only set up 4 horrible accounts instead of 12 then left town with my money.
-I set up 8 accounts on my own that have not had any success to speak of.
-I was told I had an exclusive in my area. Win in a couple months another guy who was sold by Sports Connexion set up 2 carousels in stores that where within 4 blocks of my home!
The whole experience has been a total desaster. Other names of people I worked with at Sports Connexion. Receptionist-Sandra.

I have a lot of documentation and detail if any futher information is needed. I'd love to help any way I can.
