Does anyone have any experience with these guys we are at 61 + days and cannot get anyone to return our calls? Also have div called Barrett Diversified.
Thanks
 
I believe the 200+ employees. Probably mostly sales/marketing as it seems they are a marketing agent for a bunch of brands. Funny how they're business groups are so different, and their operations all in small towns.
 
Barrett has a place in Lindsay on the corner of #36 and Colborne St. They do a lot of work for Shaw Direct (satelites) but they also bring in a lot of water sports equipment. They act as a distributor for different companies. H/O is in NB. Maybe pay them a visit if you are up in Lindsay area.

They are a new customer with us, we did first move c.o.d. and then did 4 other moves with no payment, cheque was supposed to be in the mail for the first 2 when we did the second 2. We sent a demand to the VP yesterday saying we will go after shippers/receivers if they don't pay. Problem is the reciever in 3 cases is a subsidiary of the parent company. Looking at $5500 combined so it will be worth a small claims visit if we don't get paid. Thanks for all the info everyone. A trip to Lindsay may be in the works.

I'd say they're probably not a skip threat. In my experience, customers who do this sort of thing tend to pay a bit slow ... their customers (the big retailers, by and large) do the same.
 
Had a bad feeling about them, they went into receivership a few days ago. Funny thing their D & B still looks like they are gold.
