    Shipped of a slide/barrel for my ******** 1911 - 380 for threading services. My item was delivered two weeks ago, yet the website states "awaiting service item from customer". I've attempted to email/call for updates/additional information numerous times without any response. I'd like to have my item returned and money refunded ASAP should this not be completed. I'm worried the business is either a scam or no longer in business.

    On 12/08/2023 I sent a barrel and slide as directed by the website via **** to TornadoTechnologies. My credit card was used to pay the $153.00 fee for the work to be done. I was supposed to receive an email when the items were delivered to TT. Using my tracking number from the ****, I saw that the items were delivered to the receptionist desk on 12/11/2023. After repeated attempts by email, and phone; no one will respond. After seeing all the negative posts on here; how is this business still open? I want my fee and parts back.

    Company refuses to answer emails or return phone calls concerning the status of work being done on pistol parts sent to them. After reading the complaints against them from other customers on the BBB review I am sorry I sent them items to be worked on and have little reason to believe I will ever see the items again.

    I called my bank since I prepaid on my debit card and filed a complaint with them as well. I received a refund but am not sure if it was voluntary from the company or was just a decision in my favor from the bank to give me back my money. I have emailed asking for the parts back and still get no answer. I hope you use my case as a warning to others who are savvy enough o check first before doing business with the ridiculous company.
