It might as well be removed since it doesn't sound like they are going to be a reliable supplier anytime soon... Seems like adam was the eigenschaft guy and now that he is out of there...
General Question for the board.
If by all accounts Eginschaft Glass Company has been such a poor supplier on a whole. ( Proof of the past year ) Why do we have a thred in our board to go directly to them?
I vote to remove "Eginschaft Glass" as a sorce untill it regains our trust once more. (Oh and has product to ship!)
Ya! Na! or " I Don't Care, I just want good glass at the best price, When ever?

I suspect unless a thread is totally out of line or slanderous, to remove a thread over the sole purpose of their slacking in getting supplies out may lead to removing threads for any reason, good or bad, and of course the mods have that privlidge to do so, but sounds kinda dangerous to me since its only a thread and not hurting anyone...Na I guess here...just my opinion.
But of course, if their out of business for good, fire and all, then its appropriate.
Hey Steve,
We are not removing any threads.
Palisade said "thread" but I'm pretty sure he meant the Ike-n-shaft LINK at the bottom of the beginning page. I think that is a reasonable request if they are no longer doing business...
yeah I'd second that.... if they're now defunct.
I say replace the link with a nice adult site but leave the eigenshaft text!!!! hehe
If adam, who earned the link by being a contributing member here, wants the link removed, then I will remove it. I was planning on asking him but haven't had a chance to yet.
If he wants the link replaced with something else glass related, that is his choice. Adam has been a very good member, regardless of eigenschafts bad biz, which is NOT under his control.
Skip I like your idea best.
~Misha
I'm sure Adam will agree too... hehe
Is Eigenschaft even a manufacturer? I had heard from numerous people (some that even sold it , and more spendy than the other brands they sold) , that they got Schott and Simax over stocks and seconds and the sort . I didnt believe it till I had a 2-3 month stint of try back we dont have any stock blah blah blah , then I checked BBB and they had no record of them (I know it doesnt mean much) , and Eigenschaft refered me to a supplier that did not even carry Eigenschaft (said they did) but did carry Simax, hmm . I STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW , SO ANYONE ?
the shaft only ever bought end of runs of many different glasses just ask former distributors like shane from eugene glass alliance or mike frantz.
thats why they couldn't get you glass towards the end because the main factories got sick of their lies, and stopped their supply and they finally got the shaft!
phatty
Phatty you are a genious!! Its amazing that even though we bought different stuff all the time it always was exactly the same when it arrived at the customers. Get your advice from Mike Frantz, who has Eigenschaft on his website but hasnt received any product in more then 2 years. Must be coincidence that everybodys overruns look exactly the same.
Hey Adam...shall I leave the link or would you like something else there?
PS Matt says to ignore phatty, he seems to only come here to stir up trouble now anyway...
~Misha
Yeah Nerf the link.
K, let me know when you have something to replace it with for the new company.
~Misha
I cant listen to PHATTY , WELL then SOMEONE FILL ME IN PLEASE .
Hmmmmmm,,,,,,
Well my fellow flamers, IT appears the idea was/is in the best interist of the board afterall. Adam, I must say your support has been faverable from the most part. My only concern is that you follow the lead with FACTS which also is in our best interist. I for one read between the lines, remembering vast conversations of were and why glass hadn't be avalible over the last year. Be stright.. and the path will be easy...
Tell us/me more about U.S. Trading Co. with some links and referances please..
This should be the end of Thread me thinks. Thanks Misha

I was as straight as I could be regarding my answer. The reason that glass availability has been so shaky over the past year is that funds to import glass had been diverted toward the furnace project, which should have been providing us enough stock for everyone for the past 6 months. I say "we" meaning the former Eigenschaft. I am no longer affiliated with them. As far as references, you can see the USTglass website at www.Ustglass.com. Nothing terribly exciting, I actually built the website myself and have no web design skills whatsoever. As far as US Trading Capital is concerned, I can reference one of their larger partners which is Ameritrade. If you know anything about the coal and copper export business from Russia, I can provide you some other references too. Catapiller Industrial Machinery is another company USTC has done extensive import work with. Feel free to contact me if you need any other information.
Thanks

cool Adam.
For some reason I see this picture:
and I see a table of labware that someone sprayed with that fire on hanovia rainbow luster...
(I know that's not what it is)
Anyways, Russia sounds as good as anywhere else now days.... can't wait to see what ya got... will you be shipping samples as the glass becomes available?
-Doug
So how do we find info about pricing? I didn't see any on the web site
I will be shipping samples as soon as I have merchandise. We are still looking at about 30 days to recieve the shipment. Pricing TBA. I'm going to adjust the website to just reflect the material we will be carrying off the bat.
