Alfred E Rucker doesn't pay his suppliers
Our company provided Alfred E Rucker (Hattitude TX) with a wholesale order of hats that he never paid for. Despite his initial acknowledgment, multiple follow-ups, and a formal certified letter (which he received and signed), he has continued to refuse to settle the payment.
What's worse -- he continues to sell these unpaid hats at public events and promote them on social media, without remorse and fully aware that he never paid us for them.
We want to warn customers that if you're buying hats from Hattitude TX, you may be purchasing stolen goods from a supplier who was never compensated, thus enabling unethical -- and possibly illegal -- business practices.
We are a small business of artisan hatmakers, and it really hurts to be ripped off like this. We are sharing this to protect other honest businesses and consumers from being taken advantage of. Be very cautious when dealing with this business and his owner and make sure you look him up properly before you do. We sincerely hope no one else has to go through this experience.
