We ordered a unit from Omega in August 2013 and sent a $10,223.80 deposit with the understanding they could deliver in 4-5 weeks. As of December 2013 they had not or could not deliver and it was mutually agreed between myself and Waqas, dealer development with Omega, that the order would be cancelled and money refunded. I did finally receive a check in November 2014 for $10K. I took it to my bank and they sent it to the bank it was drawn on requesting certified funds. We never heard anything back. Greg Pannia has told me he had mailed a replacement check, which hasn't been received. He has told me he was overnighting a check, which hasn't been received. He also reported that Omega did a conversion of a LP unit we purchased from a wholesaler to diesel, then we cancelled the order. This is not a true statement as Omega NEVER did a conversion for us. Only until Forklift Action mentioned us in an article did Greg finally call me to say he thought it had been taken care of. My understanding is I'm not the only dealer in the US this happened to, including the Lonestar deal. I can't help but question the financial condition of Omega as well.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
