I have found out that [B]CHICAGO CLOSEOUT LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTORS IS A CHEATING COMPANY[B]. The website of the company is
www.liquidationdistributors.com. Below is the story about how CHICAGO CLOSELOUT LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTORS cheated on me. It is recommended that you should not have any business with this company.
In June 2004, I contacted [B]Bart Blonski, the president of Chicago Liquidation Distributors[B], to ask for information about prices of company’s products. I had contacted Bart Blonski for several times before placing the order by phone and email. During this time, Bart Blonski acted like a good professional sale person. He answered all my questions nicely. But after I placed the order and made the payment, he has tried to run away and has not sent the products to me. Bart Blonski keeps hanging up my phone calls and not replying my e-mails regarding to the shipment of products that I ordered.
BBB (Better Business Bureau) has sent two letters to his company regarding to my complain. One letter was sent at the end of July and the one was sent at the end of August. In addition, Bart Blonski was warned that if he does not return the money to me, this story would be posted on the Internet. He still has not responded. He really does not care about the creditability of his company.
Bart Blonski currently uses two email addresses and three phone numbers listed below:
Email:
bartb@liquidationdistributors.com and
ChiCloseouts@aol.com
Tel: 847 489 4555, 847-640-0822, and 800-323-5753

On 6/30/2004, after agreement about the price for the merchandize, I requested my bank to make a wire transfer from my bank account to Chicago Liquidation Distributor’s bank account with an amount of $2,370.81. Bart Blonski provided me the Chicago Liquidation Distributor’s bank account information. The information is listed below:
Suburban Bank & Trust
Woodale IL 60191
Account number: 7024002945
Name under account: Chicago Liquidation Distributors
Transfer amount: $2,370.81
My bank has confirmed that the money transaction was done and successful on 6/30/2004. The account number (7024002945) and the name under the account (Chicago Liquidation Distributor) were correct. (Otherwise the transaction would not be successful). I still have the receive from the bank. I am more than happy to fax it to you if you would like to.
I have sent Bart Blonski emails (sending to both email addresses) asking for the shipping status. Bart Blonski has not ever replied my emails regarding to the shipment.
I called number 847-489-4555 (Bart Blonski mentioned this phone number in his email. I am sure that this is the cell phone). Bart Blonski kept hanging up my phone. I left messages. Bart Blonski has never returned my phone calls. In many cases when I called Bart Blonski and my phone calling ID was on, Bart Blonski did not picked up the phone. Then I hided my phone calling ID and called again, Bart Blonski picked up the phone right away. But after Bart Blonski realized that I was on the phone, Bart Blonski hung up the phone right away again.
As the president/ branch manager, Bart Blonski does not reply emails, phone calls from someone who complains about his company merchandize shipment. It clearly shows that Bart Blonski does not care about his customers and his company’s credit. It also clearly shows that Chicago Liquidation Distributor is a cheating company.
In the week of July 12 (at this time I did not realize that Chicago Liquidation Distributor was a cheating company), I had a chance to travel to Chicago for a marketing seminar from my current job. I sent Bart Blonski the email to tell him I would like to visit his office on Tuesday (7/13/04). Bart Blonski replied my email and stated that his office would be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday (7/13/2004 and 7/14/2004). Bart Blonski suggested me to visit his office on Thursday (7/15/2004).
Thursday (7/15/2004) I went to his office. Bart Blonski was not at his office. I met one of his co-workers, Krystian Gul. Krystian called Bart Blonski to let Bart Blonski know that I was at the office. Bart Blonski said that he could not go to the office to meet me on that day and suggested me to come back to the office on Friday (7/16/2004) after 1:00 Pm. On Friday (7/16/2004), I went to the office again at 1:00 Pm. Nobody was there. I waited for two hours. Bart Blonski did not show up. I called 847-489-4555. Bart Blonski did not answer the phone. I left a note to mention that I was at the office on that day.
After Friday (7/16/2004) I realized that Chicago Liquidation Distributors is a cheating company. I sent emails to and called to Bart Blonski, but he has not replied emails and keeps hanging up the phone.
Hope above information can help you know how Chicago Liquidation Distributors cheating their customers.
Sincerely,
Tam
