Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HDLS: My use for the past 7 years in all kinds of conditions/environments says otherwise. Dusty, sandy, muddy, small gravel, extreme heat, cold, pouring rain and puddles, snow and ice. It's an excellent long lasting lubricant that stays where it's supposed to and doesn't evaporate. The whole cherry balmz ordering goat-rope fiasco is a whole other matter. Dallas seriously fucked up handling that. Don't blame anyone for saying fuck Cherry balmz because of that. |

Got a nice email. They said they doubled it, plus threw in extras.
I'm 90% sure I actually placed two orders but I can't find the other one. I'm almost positive when GD was complaining, I placed a second order out of spite to show my confidence. Either way, i can now report my orders has been fulfilled.

In all honesty, they need to stop giving shit away and cut their prices in half.
Why pay $17 a bottle when the owner literally throws the bottles for free to people like candy in a Halloween parade? Throwing 3x extra bottles in an order just proves your charging $17 for something that costs you pennies. Charge $6-7 shipped and sell 100x more than you ever would have. |

Textbook example of how not to run a business, online or other. It is a good product.
I’m curious (not that I have a need to know or want to know) what has been going on behind the scene these past few years. From what little I do know, Dallas put a lot of time, effort and probably money into developing Cherrybalmz. Maybe an explanation and a bunch of groveling may help the future of his business |

Whatever it was, it didn’t help to lie repeatedly to the customers.
We have plenty ready to ship. We just need bottle caps. I’m missing one major component. I’m betting the people would have rather heard, he got wasted and bet it all on red and lost and it’s gone be a year for him to save enough working at McDonalds to be able to ship out product. |
