Something that should have been a two weeks took around 2 months I think.
Then I needed another part done and he said he could get it done in 5 days. I paid half deposit for that work - that work was supposed to start Sept. 29th. It's November 20th now.
He's done nothing to remedy the situation. He did say he'd give me a refund, however then he later said he'd just give me a discount. The last response I got from him was that he was away on a business trip - apparently he doesn't care about people who have already given him money though. He recently returned the initial $700 (so he's not running off with my money), but I don't have the code I need nor the bug fixes for the first set of work to be functional, so I can't put the update live. It's cost me money. I had told him my plans, and which is why I went with someone who said they could deliver quickly.
So far it's taken 4 times the amount of time he promised it would be finished in. I could have paid much less for the same amount of work to someone else if they took the same time. Lots of excuses. I've given him lots of time to even update me to tell me a new date that it'd be ready by - he responds, but ignores every actually question I ask.
I'll keep my personal comments to myself for now. I've just mentioned facts so far.
