Complaint Review: That Shabby Guy

I dropped off a antique hoosier cabinet for him to refhinish to it's original state Arpil 2013. For months I tried to reach him wtih no luck. He was no longer working out of the store front where I met him or made the arrangment. I was told that he had skipped out on rent and they had not heard anything from him either. 

I finally reached him in January and he advised he would be finished with my cabinet the last week of January and we could scehdule delivery. He never called, emailed or returned any mesages via Facebook or email. I tried again several times to reach him. He contacted me the 2nd week of February and stated he wold deliver the cabinet the week of the 15th, that he had a couple of things left to do on it. I never heard from him, and again he never returned messages. 

I received a call and was told he would deliver on Wednesday February 18th in time for me to use it during a convention I was attending. On Thursday the 19th I was setting up my booth and got a call that he had been in a wreck and had a head injury and he coldn't deliver it. 

On the following Monday February 24th he told me he would deliver on that Thursday the 27th by 4:00 pm. Never heard from him and he never showed up. I called, left messages, emailed, texted. He blocked me from posting anything to his Face Book page. On Monday March 4th I advised him that if I didn't hear from him I would be taking legal action and filing a civil suit against him in Tarrant County. He made arragnements to deliver the cabinet on Thursday March 6th by 7:00 pm. I got a text from him at 3:00 stating he had just gotten out of court in South Texas and it was a 10 hour drive home, that he would be unable to deliver my cabinet. I told him that if I didn't have it on Friday the 7th that I would be at the court house Monday morning March 10th to file the suit. That he had until 12:00 noon on that Friday to deliver. He delivered the cabinet at 11:30, and he had never touched it. It was not completed or even started.
