I just received a phone call from a gentleman that purchased the above-named chrome plater's business. They have closed the doors. The bad news for me is that they have a collection of my parts along with a $767.00 deposit that is most likely gone. The fellow has my parts and is shipping them back to me COD. I hope they get here...most of them are irreplaceable.
My understanding is that the gentleman I spoke to made an "asset purchase" of the building and its equipment. The woman he purchased it from retains all responsibility for financial assets and liabilities. I called her phone, and it just goes to voice mail but her mailbox is full.
I have recommended this business to others here and have had some incredibly nice work done by them in the past. Assuming I get my parts back, if anyone has any recommendations on a reliable and good chromer, please let me know. Thanks.
