Once upon a time, I wanted to order Light Purple PETG, and the only company which sold it was a GELO band on Amazon. Several years later and I needed more.

While their Amazon listings were gone, their website was still up and their item still in stock. Since it's local I'd thought I put an order in.

This was July 14. My first point of concern was that I got no confirmation email from them outside of PayPal. But I waited, and sent a request for an update on the 16th. Just to confirm the order went through.

I then asked to cancel my order on July 20th, again to no reply, and today I went to paypal to get my Money back.

Stay away from gshop.ca as it's at this point a ghost company, and you'll be more likely to get a full spool of filament from Amazon's Reuse store than from them.

Unfortunate. Based on what I can find it's a solo outfit, so the owner / operator (who I did find but won't name, just check the blog though) might be indisposed for whatever reason. Couldn't find anything online though.

While that may be true, it's still their responsibility to handle this stuff if they're keeping their payment system active.
