I sent a Hummel figurine that was my Mother's to Crow, Inc. My mother passeds away in March of 2011 and I received her Hummel collection. One of the Hummels called "Carnival" needed a repair of a piece that was broken off. After searching on line for a company that does this type of thing. I chose Crow, Inc.
I sent the Hummel to Mr. Schindhelm on October 8, 2011 for an estimate to restore it. After receiving his estimate and contract, I sent a check for $203.25 on November 7, 2011 and contracted him to do the restoration and repair. He cashed my check on November 14, 2011. I was prepared to wait for the repair for 6-12 months as stated in the contract.
After 6 months, I tried to maintain contact with My Schindhelm for an estimate of how much longer it would take. I kept getting his pat answer of" be patient and I will expedite your order". Over and over,
this was his response. However, since June 05, 2012, I have not received an answer to emails or phone messages.
This appears to be a business that uses it's internet advertising to take advantage of trusting people who mail their treasured Hummels to Mr. Schindhelm and rarely get them back. I also got the story about the flood and snow storm. I am angry at being conned but I am most heart-sick over the loss of this Hummel.
I would advise anyone looking for a restoration of a Hummel to hire someone else. This company can not be trusted. When I checked on the references that were given by Mr. Schindhelm, on line, none of them had ever heard of him or his company. Too bad I didn't check them first. Lesson learned. Don't fall for this web advertising.
I have contacted the Attorney General of New York and the Better Business Bureau. Even if I don't get my Hummel back, hopefully this business won't scam anyone else because the word is out.

Finally
AUTHOR: Lana - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 25, 2014
After 2 and 1/2 years, I finally have my Hummel back and repaired. It is flawless.
I can't say I would ever use Crow again because of the poor communication and customer service but at least my matter is settled and I am pleased.
I am so glad this is over.

Still waiting
AUTHOR: Lana - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 26, 2013
Just to keep this report up to date. I still do not have my Hummel. I have asked Hans to please return it unrepaired and I'll pay postage. I have gotten the same old response. " I'll expedite it." I cannot get this man to return my property. I have given up on m $200+ but sure wish I could get my Hummel back.
I don't understand how someone can get away with this. Also, the post Hans made that it was repaired and returned was a lie. No such thing has happened.

Where's My Hummel?
AUTHOR: Lana - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 18, 2013
I am still waiting for my Hummel that Mr. Schindhelm has said he has repaired and returned.
I cannot believe that this man is able to steal people's Hummels. I am outraged that he will not respond to any of my emails or phone messages to talk about where my Hummel is.
I think I see a trip to NY in my futures.

Where's my Hummel Mr Shindhelm?
AUTHOR: Lana - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I am still waiting for the "repaired and returned" Hummel of mine that Mr. Schindhelm of Crow Designs said he had sent me. This man does not tell the truth. I cannot advise more strongly for anyone to stay away from this company. The Master Restorer, as he calls himself, is a crook. Don't fall for his false advertising.
Still waiting in Acworth, GA. for my repaired Hummel or my broken Hummel and my money back!

My Hummel Figurine NOT repaired & returned
AUTHOR: Lana - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, November 05, 2012
Although, Mr Schindhelm posted that he had repaired and returned my Hummel he is again, not being truthful.
It is November 5th and I do not have my Hummel figurine and I have not been contacted by him that he was sending my item back and repaired.
I hope no one is scammed by this man again. I intend to make sure I tell my story and not allow him to make people think he has returned my repaired Hummel.

If my Hummel has been returned, I don't have it!
AUTHOR: Lana - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 26, 2012
Mr Schindlhelm says on this site, that my item has been returned. It would be nice to know when it was returned because I don't have it.
Same old story, talk but no action. I'll post on this site, when and IF it is returned and in what condition.
So far, I still have nothing or no communication from Crow HJS Design.
