The Official "WTF MERCH!" Thread
Eris:
Yes, but jonarus_drakus asked how long it would take to get something from topatoco, though, which is what I thought that post was referring to.
Craig Reade:
Glad to see I am not alone. Actually, no, I am not glad to see it. I see a lot of people defending the delay saying it is only $25, or just a tee shirt, but I am sorry - I know of few people who would be ok with someone stealing $25 in actual money. And in a way - it is like that.
It would be one thing if emails were responded to at all - or regular "touch base" emails were sent out so that people weren't so in the dark.
If the shirts weren't in from the printers - sometime around April they should have started refunding money, and apologizing profusely.
I will say this - some people are right PARTLY about it being only $25. Im over it. Though I thought it deserved a little attention, so I posted an article about it. http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49114
Agree or disagree, no excuse in this entire thread has been given that justifies accepting money for a product, not shipping it in 7 months, and not contacting the buyer at all with updates, and ignoring requests for refunds. I am sympathetic to an extent, but as a professional, the excuse doesn't cut the mustard. Can you imagine walking into WalMart and paying for a shirt, and them telling you that you can come get it eventually, whenever it arrives?
Helck, even Amazon will refund your order upon request if you get tired of waiting for something on back-order...
I am glad to see some people appear to be getting their orders - I've written it off personally. Sucks that they had problems with the printer, but to be blunt - their problems with the printers aren't my problem, nor are there any of their other customer's problem.

Hello,
My name is Daniel Weigl, I ordered from QC on 22. Jan 2009 the following items (This is the transaction id, no idea whether its actually helpful: ID #1YK68258PM669840B):
Qty Item Options Price
1 Deathmole T-Shirt Mens' International Shirt Size: Large
$24,00 USD
1 ZAP Shirt Mens' International Shirt Size: Large
$24,00 USD
I would really appreciate receiving either the T-Shirts or a refund.

Craig Reade I am so glad you got your refund! I wish you had posted your article earlier, it was so eloquent and said so much that I wanted to say but could never say so well. I will follow your advice for all future on-line purchases, from any source.
So, it appears that there are 2 ways to get quick action - 1) threaten to file an internet fraud complaint a la Thegr8k8, or 2) be Craig Reade and post an article in a very prominent place.
Estabrookette and Ivaness are both so sweet that they could charm fox cubs from their dens, so apparently, being nice does not help to get a swift response. If anyone deserves quick action, surely they do.
StatSig:
I'm glad Craig got his money back.
Cristi, could I have mine, too, please? Paypal transaction 5AS81148P6785061Y. I don't have a well-read column, but I still deserve my $28 back. :(
