FireMedicJumper 0 #27 April 7, 2007 I bought a Samurai from Richard several months ago, and was very happy with his customer service. Also, his shipping was quick. Could do without the music on the website, but then I usually hate music on websites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMGR2 0 #28 April 7, 2007 I'm kinda puzzled in the fact that he advertises several reserves on the classifieds for sale, which is how I came about finding his website. I then go to his website and find 13 reserves in my size range for sale. I email him to call me to make this a quick sale and all I get back is an email reply saying NONE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. And can someone teach him how to take his caps lock off, or is he just screaming at everyone all the time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vid666 0 #29 October 5, 2007 what's Richard Hazels problem ? His ads seem mental, and this is a response to an email I sent - THE ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER SENT HIM " I RECALL - CONVERSING WITH YOU, IS A WASTE OF MY TIME. R" Can somebody please explain this "businessman" to me ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymoo 0 #34 October 8, 2007 Amazing! why would anyone who values your business say that? People email me all the time for quotes, and I know only a few of them buy... but I always welcome them as potential buyers and friends - specially since most of the stuff I sell is through email! Nuts I say. Give us a chance and compare ;) ceo@childrenofthesky.com Blue ones!http://www.childrenofthesky.com Freefly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wardhessig 0 #35 October 10, 2007 I thought I would chime in as I know Richard well and work with him very closely on our containers. Any off color comments that some of you may have received were all in jest I assure you. Richard is a very interesting guy and may come off as being offensive but he is not that way at all. He provides excellent customer service and always has the customer's best intentions at hand. If you don't know me I am the Marketing Manager at Mirage Systems and I personally stand behind Richard. You'll get a fair deal and great service going with him. I get several calls a week from him asking about sizing and if this rig is right for a customer or not. He genuinely cares about the skydiving community and is not just in it to make a buck. He wants to see you get in the right equipment at a fair price and you will end up happy with your dealings with him. Just my two cents. Ward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buffdiver 0 #36 December 6, 2007 I completely agree with Ward in dealing with Richard and Buildarig.com. I just purchased a new container from Richard this week and it was a great experience. Richard is a passionate person not only with skydiving but many other things in his life. Great customer service. He is the type of guy that really wants to see you get the right equipment at a good deal. He was very patient with my millions of questions and emails, but was also cool enough to give me some crap about it at the same time. What can I say, I was excited. As soon as we agreed on a deal, my container showed up in two days! Again, thank you Richard for all your help. You will be the first person I call when Im in the market for some new gear.

taylor.freefall 0 #37 December 6, 2007 I also had dealings with Richard this week and although I never did end up buying anything he answered my emails promptly and was polite, he even said he will keep an eye out for the stuff I'm after, whether that happens or not I dont know but I thourght it was a nice gesture.
