Zapffe Silverplating

ZERO STARS. Blix Thompson, the owner of Zapffe Silverplating, Inc. is a thief. I took my Grandmothers heirloom candelabras to him for a small repair and re-​plating. Due to a family tragedy, the candelabra’s remained in Blix’s possession for roughly a year. I never received a courtesy call/​reminder of any kind from Blix during this year. Also, Blix explained to me he does not keep his own records of items given to him for repair. When calling him, he told me he could not give me back my property if I didn’t have the hand written slip of paper with the quote. Later, still trying to recover my property, I discovered in our Insurance records, photo’s of the candelabra’s including the bottom of each one where my mother’s Social Security Number was etched. I called Blix back and explained I could prove I had brought them to him for repair with pictures and the SS number etching. He then said to me, «he didn’t know where to look for them» and «He could do whatever he wanted with my property, including selling the pieces». He then hung up on me. I’m incredibly sad that I cannot pay him for the work he did and recover my property. The sentimental value of the candelabra’s are far greater than any money he could have received by selling them. Think twice before you take your items to this unprofessional, disheveled business owned by a very dishonest man.
