I will attempt to keep this as brief as possible while including all of the major facts. I began a "business relationship" with Jane Repinski (uses the company name of JJ Sales or will soon be going by "Wholesale Products Inc." from my understanding) in late Jan/early Feb after seeing iPod lots available for sale on ebay. Delivery was promised in 2-3 weeks. I did not receive these iPods until approximately two months later and was given the usual excuses (shipment lost, delivery problems, supplier's fault, etc.) but nevertheless, eventually did receive most of this first order (probably because I paid most of it via credit card and was threatening a chargeback).
My biggest mistake was placing a second order with her. This order consisted of 95 30 GB Apple iPods and 25 80 GB iPods, as well as 12 4 GB Apple iPhones for which she claimed to have an exclusive contract to get these to me before they came out, that they were unlocked, etc.
Things started okay and I did eventually receive 60 of the 30GB iPods. However, things started to get suspicious towards the end of May/beginning of June when - despite original delivery promises of 1-2 weeks - I had not received the remainder of my order, compounded by the fact that it started to become incredibly difficult to get in contact with this woman via telephone or e-mail. First I was told that her son was very sick, of which I was skeptical but gave her the benefit of the doubt. Then I was told that my order had been lost by FedEx but she was NEVER able to provide me with a tracking number or even proof of shipping, which leads me to believe that this was a blatant lie.
After continually promising me during the month of June that "the products would arrive to her the next day" and would be overnighted to me, I never received the remainder of my order. Two weeks ago I finally requested a refund and basically have been unable to get in touch with her since. After providing her ample time to respond, I have gotten in touch with my lawyer and we have decided to pursue this matter via a civil lawsuit. We will be suing for $18,194 (total amount paid for outstanding items) as well as damages as this point, which will significantly aument this total.
Jane Repinski is a dishonest businesswoman and should not be trusted in any circumstance. Not only does she have almost $20,000 of my hard-earned money, but she has caused me significant stress, both financially and otherwise, and will be held accountable in a court of law. Do yourself a favor and AVOID Jane Repinski/JJ Sales/Wholesale Products Inc.
