Non delivery of swan and pheasant mounts for 3 years. I have called and emailed him repeatedly and he would promise to deliver but never show. In the fall of 2010 I deliverd a swan and pheasant to be mounted and payed him a 400 dollar deposit, with 400 due upon delivery. He first promised me they would be delivered in March of 2011 which they were not. Since that date he has promised me several other dates that never materialized, by Thanksgiving of 2011 and again by Thanksgiving 2012. In February of 2013 I told him if he was too busy to complete them by March 31, 2013 I would like my deposit back and the mounts so I could take them elsewhere, and he agreed, but he kept putting me off and the last message he left me was the would be ready in June, but since then his phone has gone straight to voicemail and he has not responded to my e mails. I have been by his home and shop but I get no response. He is a good guy and good taxidermist but I want my mounts. Please help.Desired SettlementI want my mounts completed and delivered by the end of November, or I want them back uncompleted along with my deposit immediately.

I paid a $200 deposit a year and a half ago for work that has not been done. Numerous attempts to communicate with Hataway with no response.In [redacted]. 2013 I gave Hataway Taxidermy two ducks to mount and a $200 deposit and was told the work would be completed in 6 months. In July 2013 I called Mr. Hataway on the phone to check on the status of the work. He said he was behind on the work but that the ducks would be completed by the end of August. August came and went with no word from Hataway. Since then I have called numerous times with no response, I have been by his taxidermy shop/house with no one answering the door. I then sent a certified letter in April 2014 asking for a refund of my $200 deposit or at least a phone call to discuss the matter, which again, I got no response. Its been a year and a half since I paid him for the work and I have had no communication from him at all and no ducks. The last time I spoke to him at all was almost a year ago and I had to call him. Desired SettlementThe taxidermy work is obviously not going to get done. If he were planning on doing the actual work I would have heard back from him by now. I simply want my $200 deposit back.
