I'll open a claim and ask for a refund of the exact difference of the $23 I paid for shipping and the actual costs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the USPS postage calculator (which I'm not very familiar with, so please correct me if I'm wrong) it looks as though it would still cost around/upwards of $23 to ship an envelope parcel from the US to Germany considering it would be larger than they allow for mail international.

If you want a refund there are other ways of getting your money back. Demanding a partial refund on shipping because someone thinks shipping cost too much after the fact is so absurd and entitled. 1 THE_James_Champ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demanding a partial refund on shipping because someone thinks shipping cost too much after the fact is so absurd and entitled. They charged me nearly $40 for shipping and then mailed my package media mail which cost under $10. They publicly posted they would refund shipping differences then went on to not actual do those refunds or reply to emails for coming up on 6 months. How exactly would you recommend us getting our money back other than by filing a PayPal claim? Also yes I am not sure why “entitled” is being thrown as an insult as we are very much entitled to get our money back that even they admitted was overcharged and they said we would get back...

I'm not saying it isn't a dick move to promise to refund shipping and then not but it's also completely a good-will move for them to do so and I sincerely doubt Paypal is going to side with you just because you -think- you overpaid on shipping fees.

They posted before we even bought the records saying they would refund overages on shipping, which was what made me more open to buying more. Also Paypal WILL side with you, because my case already went through and they did side with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might be able to help Sasan with how much he should request back. 1 Sasan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then stop buying from Dan. . . Jeebus Krampus Almighty, there's nothing worse than seeing a grown man complain about a couple of bucks, especially when that person is IN another country, and the shipping to and from is pricier, regardless of what you might say. I think the lathes sound pretty good, but then again, I expect them to not be great, because it's a different method that isn't foolproof. Besides, you'll probably end up flipping said items on discogs anyway.

THE_James_Champ 2,273 Report post Posted Thursday at 10:33 AM Also, I was lucky that @chamb117 helped me out to get the ones I wanted. Yes, Dan didn't respond to the requests to mail them to me like he had done in previous years when others help out (looking at you @deafening thanks again). But whatever, they shipped to Chamb, he mailed them to me, all is good. Literally the most awful and terrible experience I've had with IntheClouds was my delft labels were on the wrong sides. I messaged, got new labels in the mail, and all was good. There's no "decline" in quality that you keep saying. LATHES ARE NOT AUDIOPHILE MATERIAL. Get over it. Most, if not all my ITC records and packaging are immaculate and sound great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't talking about the audio quality of lathes at all...you shouldn't interpret that much, since you're obviously doing it wrongly! And if you don't see any decreasing quality issues with ITC records/packaging over the past years, it's either you don't own any older releases or your low quality standards...

I have quite a few older ones as well, soooooooooo I'm not sure what quality issues YOU'RE running into, but I haven't. The oldest ones I have are ITC-003/005. All of those were great. The newest are 051/053 (full releases, not counting the most recent lathes). Those are equally as great, so please, tell me where the issues are.... You know what? Don't bother, because I won't read it. Your overall attitude and demeanor, especially over a few bucks is about as useful as a wet shart.
