Report
My company hired DEE Custom in 2009. They seemed to be having financial troubles and soon told my company they were unable to deliver on their commitment. I asked them to refund the deposit that we had previously sent. They've promised now more than a dozen times and have yet to repay one cent of the money. They owe my company more than $ 7,000.00 plus interest. I wouldn't trust this company to do what they promise.
The owner, Bruce, although he professes to be ethical and trustworthy, his lack of action and his neglect for keeping any promises tells me otherwise. It hard enough being in business without dealing with unethical vendors.
