I didn't really make it know but I was moving all weekend. That's why the surprise box break video was taken in a different setting than usual..the dining room table was covered in boxes so I jacked the coffee table to do the break. The wife and I are now pretty much moved in and unpacked and just got internet up and running literally 20 minutes ago.
This break is happening for sure!
Posted by: Gforce083 Dec 22 2009, 10:53 PM
I imagine with Friday being Christmas, we won't get these boxes until Monday the 28th. Once I/If I get a tracking # I will post it up for all the follow

Break has already been filled and paid for, just waiting for boxes to arrive and get busted. There are plenty of other breaks out there for you to get involved in.
Make sure you read the pin topic at top of forum about group breaks.

Make sure you read the pin topic at top of forum about group breaks.
Got this email from Daniel at Balenac Sports...its funny because I called them on Wednesday and left my number. I'll be sure to give them a call tomorrow morning as they are out of office today.
"Hey Gary,
Please give me a call, or let me know your number so I can call you. We changed our settings on our email account to filter the tons of spam we've been receiving over the holidays (we received an average of 90 emails from Ebay alone for solicitations). We were getting backed up with orders and answering emails over the holidays-we had the two days of snow and Ice storm the days before Christmas. Unfortunately a lot of our emails were sent to the spam folder and we didn't know customers were writing us. The other problem and issue we had was that Paypal didn't send us an email notifying us that you had paid for the case. The money is still in our Paypal account but we never received the invoice for a paid item. We know for a fact that it was never sent because it doesn't appear in our spam or regular folder. When we set up the spam filter we made sure to allow all emails with the payment sent notification. We normally get about four to five times a year where Paypal's system fails to notify us of a payment sent, and it probably was because of the holiday over load. We had three customers who paid directly and didn't notify us of the payment received during the Christmas week. In any case give me a call today before 4pm Central time, or give me a number and let me know what is the best time to call you.
Daniel
Balenac Sports"

They need to ship Next Day Air on Monday, so you get it on Tuesday.
Posted by: Gforce083 Jan 1 2010, 08:26 PM
I just send this email to Balenac.
"Daniel,
I understand all of the troubles and things like this happen. However, I don't think it's too much to expect this case to be shipped ASAP and next day delivery so I have it in hand by Tues (Jan 5th). I've had this case paid for on Dec 23 and I wasn't my fault PayPal didn't send over an email notification. I know things are busy but if this is a known issue that has happened before then perhaps checking the actual PayPal account would be wise. I know you have to have "official" confirmation of payment via PayPal but I know that I did also send a personal email tell you guys that I paid for the case on Dec 23 (the same day) so weither PayPal sent an email or not...I did.
I know there was Christmas and New Years Day but from what I take away from this email, you have not shipped the case of Triple Threads to me yet. There have been 6 business days when this case could have been shipped out and to me or on it's way to me by now. There has also been a Saturday where it could have been shipped USPS like you guys have done in the past. I was expecting to have and made it known to others that I'd have this case in hand earlier in the week because I will be going out of town from Jan 6 - Jan 11. Now, if you simply ship this case UPS Ground it on Monday it won't show up until Wednesday after my flight leaves town which does me nor my break members any good and just makes this whole process even more frustrating.
I don't see how I can be held responsible for your email spam filters or PayPal's lack of sending a notification that I send payment on Dec. 23. I've been nothing by loyal to Balenac for over a year now and have done nothing but speak highly of your name throughout this entire time. I again, feel that next day delivery to have this case to me by Tuesday (Jan 5) is not too much to ask or expect because of the issues that have led to this case not being shipped to this point. My money has been paid in full and there should be NOTHING holding up the shipment of this case!
-Gary"
Posted by: road_runner_1964 Jan 1 2010, 09:19 PM
Excellent, Gary. If they don't come through, then I suggest you start shopping a new supplier....
Posted by: nlr4434 Jan 1 2010, 11:03 PM
PM Read
And I will throw this out there and G do not hate me for saying it, but this is my opinion.
I think we need to look at possibly a new supplier and do preorders the Sunday before if we are full and if not then cancel the breaks.
When I sign up and I see we are doing a full half case or a whole and we have to reduce down the boxes because of the lack of members, I would prefer that we not do the break then because then there are boxes left like the SP Signature hit, which was the best hit of all the boxes in the break. And the hit ended up going not where it should have to an owner of the teams, but to whomever bought the box from you.
I do not and I know others do not expect you to cover the costs of the extra, so this might be the best thing for you and for everyone.
I understand Balenac likes the preorders possibly done earlier, but I have no problem if we have to pay $2-10 more per break to go through Dave & Adams or Blowout or whomever and do it the Sunday before if we are full and not having to do a partial break.
This is not a knock on you Gary at all, I appreciate the breaks and what you do, I am just throwing this out there for everyone to think about the future as it might make things easier and better.
Posted by: Prophecy Guy Jan 1 2010, 11:20 PM
I co-sign the above statement.
As nlr said, this is NOT - by any means - an indictment of you or your breaks. I'm a huge fan of GForce083 breaks, as denoted by my perfect attendance in them throughout the last year.
That being said, I agree with Brit's statement about perhaps finding another supplier. For me, there are 2 important facets of group breaks that are being affected here. First off, my primary team (other than the Lions, which are random) is the Dolphins - when I have to pay more for less boxes, getting a 3rd team (that no matter who it is, I likely don't collect) isn't appealing to me. Secondly, the allure of breaking a case includes being assured of the 'case hit' - breaking anything less than that doesn't give the same guarantee.
I would be willing to pay the additional costs as well if it meant going to Blowout or Dave and Adam's, as well as being willing to cancel a break if it can't get a full contingent of members. It's harder this year with so many teams that have 'double-dipped' on the collectible rookies: (San Fran - Crabtree, Davis, Coffee; Detroit - Stafford, Pettigrew; Philly - Maclin, McCoy; Jets - Sanchez, Greene) If they were more spread out, these breaks would be easier to fill - but since that can't change, something else might have to.
Again, I want to reiterate that I am still a huge fan of your breaks and hope to participate in them long into the foreseeable future.
Thanks,
Prophecy Guy

And the hit ended up going not where it should have to an owner of the teams, but to whomever bought the box from you.
I hear what you are saying and I agree. The Pre-orders that do not fill on time end up costing me a lot of out of pocket money. I usually end up putting that money I don't have yet on my credit card which charges me interest even if I do eventually fill the break.
In regards to the SP Signature hit, you are right, that entire case should have been for the whole group. However, as you and everyone else knows we only filled 11 spots and the money collected for the 11 spots did not cover the entire case. I ended up shelling out over $400 of my OWN money to buy the entire case from Balenac. I unfortunately do not have an extra $400 to just let go and I had to sell the left over boxes to gain my loss back.
Depending on Balenac's response to this current situation I will figure out what I need to do from here on out. I'm going to make contact with some other suppliers today and kind of field whats out there.

I understand and no one like I said expects you to cover the extra money whether it be $40 or $400 at all, thats why I think it might be best not to do presells so early and just roll with or cancel a break the Sunday beforehand, that way we are breaking the full break and you are not out any possible money.
I know the money for the TTT is not covering the full boxes either so we are doing a partial and Contenders is looking like it might be the same, and after this issue, I think it is time to possibly revamp things.
This is not a knock on you at all G, just want to make things easier for everyone including you.

I didn't take it as a knock. I agree with what is being said. I going to try and give Contenders as long as possible to fill up. With all the on-card autos and Panini guaranteeing an on-card Stafford or Sanchecz or Harvin per case I think it's going to be a great product. I will spend more time today contacting other suppliers and seeing what they can offer to me.
Posted by: nlr4434 Jan 4 2010, 12:53 PM

Just got off the phone with Balenac and they said the case was shipped today via UPS Overnight. They didn't sound real happy about it and somewhat came across as the owner was no longer wanting to work together with me. I was told he'd be contacting me soon.
Kind of frustrating to think I've done a lot of photoshop/logo design and creation for them along with supporting their business through promotion. I will keep anything else to myself.
This should be a fun break none-the-less!

Posted by: Gforce083 Jan 5 2010, 06:00 PM
I'd like to bust at 7pm CT this evening if that works for the majority of the people. Still waiting on UPS though.

Posted by: jmagilljr Jan 5 2010, 06:21 PM
Wow! My first TCC post and my first GForce break!!!
Gary, I would like to commend your honesty and applaud your character. Sorry to hear you may lose a good business contact, just remember today's business seems to be "what have you done for me lately?".
I've been keeping tabs on this thread and just thought maybe a newbie might offer a fresh idea on upcoming breaks. Maybe to change things up a bit, you offer a random team selection-only break, with no pre-break team selections. Another spin off from that would be to do a draft-style break where you have a product with a set amount of hits, then sell that number of spots (ie. 20 hits=20 spots) and a draft order is randomed with pick 1 getting first pick of whatever hit they want and so on.
Not sure if you've tried these or not and I don't want to step on any toes. Just thought I'd put that out there. If you're finding that you're having to come out of pocket for more breaks and reducing the lots of boxes, then these breaks will become increasingly dreadful to you. I personally don't want that to happen because eventually you'll get fed up and stop hosting, which I'm sure we all don't want to happen.
C'mon Brown!!!! Shoulda let Dale Jarret drive the truck. /js
Posted by: Gforce083 Jan 5 2010, 06:40 PM
I hope my worst fear is not going to happen...which is that Balenac shipped to my old address. I changed my address in PayPal before paying and gave them my new one via PayPal and email.
I did just call my old apartment office to see if anything had come for me but they said there was nothing. So that is a good sign? UPS has 1 hour and 20min left in the delivery day and once again Balenac did NOT send me over the tracking info nor are they answering their phone. They are probably out for the day...
I'm looking forward to brighter days with a new supplier

Or did they refund and cut you? (Honestly I hope so)

Or did they refund and cut you? (Honestly I hope so)
I actually hope the SP Authentic Case is locked in because that was a killer price! After that I hope we are done. They haven't said anything to me about paying for Contenders, I did say I wanted in a month back so we'll see I guess. After those 2 for sure though.

So we may not even have a Contenders locked and loaded with them? I am assuming so as it has been live for over a week and no mention of it would seem that they do not have one for us.

I hope so, but I can't say 100% at the moment.

I was feeling pretty good about myself, until I realized the year is only 5 days old. 
lol
and if Balenac does not have the case in your hands today, they are gonna have issues from me

Better?

So I haven't see the UPS truck leave the main road yet but hope is fading fast...

Ya know what I am thinking right now would get me banned and what I want to say to Balenac would have me arrested

Well Next Day Air shipments should have been delivered by 10:30 am or 12:00 noon. A 13 year veteran of UPS. If they shipped Next Day Air....

They are giving you and us the run around.
If the SPA price was not killer, I would say tell them forget it and kiss your arse

Just ended a very frustrating and not so pleasant call with Balenac!
Long story short, every one well be getting a full refund from me and there will be no Triple Threads break. My apologies. Details to come shortly...
I will say, I ended the call a lot nicer than I really wanted to keeping the SPA case price in mind. However, after that case we are through with Balenac and they will hear from me afterwards.

WHAT THE????????
Can not wait to hear this (not aimed at you)

A PM was sent to ALL members in this break. I don't feel I need to make my phone call and feelings with Balenac public.
Posted by: degibson84 Jan 5 2010, 09:33 PM
they are ignoring you as well?
i got my contenders boxes shipped yesterday but they just keep ignoring me when i ask for the invoice for the SPA boxes. seems odd that they would ignore a chance at making money
Posted by: degibson84 Jan 5 2010, 09:36 PM
you aren't the only one.
i am looking at other places but the prices they offer are so good it is hard to go somewhere else
Posted by: nlr4434 Jan 5 2010, 09:39 PM
Refund Received.
Maybe not the convo but feelings might help warn others about them, but that is your choice.
My feelings from this and other things is this:
I think they are a failing business model it seems, and I hope their workers update their resumes and look elsewhere as they are not going to be around much longer if this is how they do business.

Got the refund G. Thanks for all the work you've done to resolve the situation for us!

Thank you for being so patient throughout the situation! Sucks we didn't get to bust some Triple Threads though!
