Trouble with Opus Media?

I'm imagining since the book (if its the same book I remember) was pretty expensive then the table is likely even more expensive? If so then its a substantial sum of money. First question is how did you send the money? If credit card then I think I would begin with your CC company.

 

I have the same problem, just change the subject.
This is my "problem" and all the info I have: after last year Le Mans, Opus announced a new opera based on this mighty race. Many trustable site report the news, as the ACO itself.
I contacted Opus directly and after some emails with Karl Fowler - that was always kind and full of attention to me - I decided to go for the "Winner Edition", their most precious and valuable version.

Due the quite high value involved, they asked me to split payment into 2 parts, so I did. That was in December. After that, Karl told me to contact him whenever I want to define some details, 'cause they offered many possible personalization for the book. In March I contacted him but with no luck. Same in April and May with various emails, both to Karl directly and Opus info email in general. I contacted them on Facebook - they read my message but ignore to reply me. So.. what?

Last week I was @ Gilena Motorbooks International in Brescia and they told me they have recently (beginning of the year) ordered a very special F1 Opus and lack of communication seems to be a standard for Opus, but that they are "alive" 'cause Karl offered and send them a couple of ticket for the past Monaco F1 GP raced in May.

For sure they update their website (just see the news pages and some new Coming Soon titles), but I really don't know what to do..

I have the same problem. After good experiences with buying the Ferrari Opus I had already paid for the Le Mans Opus. After some very nice mails I didn't succeed in contacting the "Opus-Man". He had promised VIP-tickets for the 2016 Le Mans race but did not send any ticket. When I mailed him the suspect that the Le Mans Opus will never be published he reacted very unpolitely promised to send the money back but didn't do it till today. Do you have some news about the project and Opus Media? You can also contact me sending a private message. Thank you in advance.

 

Last month I spoke again with Gilena Motorbooks and they intend to contact a lawyer trying to solve the situation.
How long since your last contact with Karl? Do you send them some sort of preorder payment? For what edition?

(I tried to contact you via PM, but it appears you can't receive it yet)

 

Thank you. I have paid 1.900 BPS for the "Marquee Edition". Now I will try to get contact to Gilena within the next days. And I have to think to inform the Crown Prosecution Service at London. My last contact was on Nov. 1st - he promised to pay back (with very bad words) but did not pay till today.

 

Hello "Retail" and "ChoroQ" - an e-mail adress to contact me:
[email protected]
Perhaps we are "stronger together". And I have some informations about "Karl".

 

Hi, I am not sure if any of you have had any joy contacting Karl, but I wish I had read the above before meeting him at the City Concours in London earlier this year. I bought 3 sets of limited edition Ferrari prints. I have only received 2 sets and haven’t been able to reach him for months about the missing third set. I would appreciate someone sharing his phone number - he just ignores mails. Thanks

 

Same issue.
I bought the Opus book and spoke to Karl regarding issuing me another accompanying letter being sent with the book. He said he would send it off, still waiting over 6 months later.
Then he offered me a set of Ferrari road vehicle and gran turismo limited edition prints, I sent him the money, they arrived personalised for me. Still no original requested letter though.
Then he offers me a set of F1 Ferrari prints, I said Ok, personalise them and I will send you the money. This is the last I have heard from him and that's a few months ago now.
No money is owed as I didn't transfer any money yet, but just annoying I can't reach him to complete the transaction for the F1 prints and letter.

 

Wow, what did you buy that he has not delivered on?

 

As Retail said, Mr Fowler still owes me a couple thousand GBP and he never ever replied to my emails. It would be funny to meet him personally to listen what awful excuses he has.

 

Probably i came across with this guy in 2015 with set of yearbooks for sale..i declined luckily

Just to be fair and to update my situation I finally got a hold of Karl via email about 2 months ago. Actually he contacted me in regards to another item he had for sale.
I told him we still had unfinished business in regards to sending me the original Opus letter and payment and shipment of the Ferrari F1 prints, so I won't be buying anything more until those issues are resolved.
As an act of good faith he posted off the F1 prints (personalised with my name) and the original letter I requested free of charge. You can't argue with that.
I let him know I appreciated his efforts to right any wrongs and will once again deal with him in the future.

Thanks again Karl !!!

 

Glad it all worked out for you. That's good to know he finally took care of it, and did the right thing. But.... you really should not have had to go through any of that.

 

Agreed but in this day and age, I'll settle for that.

 

Has anyone else unsolved business with Mr. Fowler?

 

YES!! I'm still waiting for my carbon Enzo clamshell to be returned!! Send it to Karl in March and till now it has not returned.

 

Was it being repaired?

 

Yes, it was indeed send back for repairs. Send it in March and has not returned yet after a lot of excuses. Frustrating...

 

This was the guy manufacturing them
