My good friend ordered products from Tiny Details, he sent back their own sample instead of the one they were supposed to have put together and they said to try again it was not put together with the quality they were looking for, I thought thats scam enough for me!!

[...] As a side note, I myself have been involved in an instance of the Streisand Effect. In July of 2006, I posted a critique of a business named Tiny Details on my old personal website. In February of 2007, Kristopher Buchan, the owner of the business, emailed me with threats of legal action unless the post was removed. Within two days, news of his threats had circulated on the Consumerist and several other blogs. We managed to reach a peaceful settlement afterward, but not before permanent damage had been done to Tiny Details’ online reputation. [...]

Thank you for posting this. I just saw an ad for Tiny Details in the Classified section of my local newspaper, and was curious to see what the deal was. Now I know to stay far, far away…

[...] Blogger Stephen Ward and his wife contracted with Tiny Details to assemble some dollhouse pieces from their home. I am unclear on the exact details about “what went wrong” from his post, but if you scroll through it, what’s interesting are the two levels of response from Tiny Details. [...]

Thanks for the info, David. Actually, I researched that when I first received Mr. Buchan’s email. Regardless of the statute, however, I’m sure there are legal work-arounds and loopholes that would allow him to file suit anyway. I feel much more at ease offering a compromise, from both a legal as well as a humanist standpoint.

If I read the info correctly, there is a one year statute of limitations on libel in New York State. Assuming that's where Tiny Details is registered as a business of course. I'd have to believe they'd file the suit in their state or your state, but you never know. Time Limits for Filing a Defamation Lawsuit: State Statutes of Limitation

After I'd had a chance to simmer down a bit, I decided to write Mr. Buchan another email offering a compromise in lieu of a pointless lawsuit. Here is the content of my email:

Hello again Mr. Buchan, I think we got off on the wrong foot the other day. Allow me to be the first to extend the olive branch. While I assert that my post is in no way libelous and have no intention of removing it, I consider myself an open-minded person. Thus, if you would like your side of the story presented as well, I'm certainly happy to hear it. It might interest you to know that the story has received some widespread attention on the Consumerist and several other blogs. As you can clearly see, threatening frivolous lawsuits has only served to worsen your company's image. If your true goal is to salvage it, I suggest you start by mending fences with two of your former customers, namely my wife and I. To be clear, my purpose is to avoid dragging us both into an unnecessary lawsuit when we could instead compromise. The post is staying, but I'm willing to update it with a more balanced view of your company. I hope that you're willing to accept my peace offering and save us all a lot of hassle. Regards, Stephen Ward
