RapidPOD
So, I posted a thread about RapidPOD at GenCon because I was witness to them messing up an order and bringing books to vendors on the last day of the convention. The thread went a little crazy, especially after Ken Whitman showed up and starting posting various press releases about selling the company and starting a new company with the "tons of money" he made from the sale.

The thread also provided me with several links to other RapidPOD related threads:

RapidPOD bails on a pre-GenCon order

RapidPOD delivers books 2, 3 and 4 of a set, but not book 1

RapidPOD's "Publishing Division" thread from 5/06

RapidPOD claims they cannot fulfill orders in July (yet the company sells & solicits new business in August?)

RapidPOD.com looking for help to pay Xerox (However in other threads there are claims that the company is making "a ton of money"?)

RapidPOD selling Bibles?

I don't blame you. I'm hoping that the word will spread and others won't have to go through a similar situation.

I'm lucky I've got product at all. Damn good thing I was so wary and all this stress really isn't helping my condition. Still, all systems go for GCUK.

RapidPOD also bailed on a pre-GenCon order for me in the past. Of course, they told that to us AT GenCon. Because that's helpful.

Yeah, seems to be a pattern for the guy. Hopefully the word will spread.

Yep. The guy is a classic conman, I'm hoping that the word will spread about his "business practices" and others won't get taken.
