kickinfatbeats Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 have to admit i was kinda stoked to come across this site, they have a pretty badass selection of stuff that i haven't seen elsewhere. however, i placed an order a week ago now and have gotten no status updates or communications from them. anyone else ever order from them? is this typical of this site?

outxofxbeer Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I believe they went the way of the dinosaur quite awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I don't know if they accepted paypal or if that is how you paid, but I would seriously go right now and file a claim. Pretty sure they've been gone for almost a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinfatbeats Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 i see. i did pay via paypal, but it hasn't actually processed. the site says payment pending. thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teganandsara Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I like how they still have the thrice boxset up. If you aren't going to operate the site anymore just take down the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its there however it does say its out of stock and they're trying to get more in...which will never happen even if they were a functioning store.

dustin415 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I tried ordering from them last year. I paid with paypal, and I'm not sure what my order said if I went to the site itself, but my paypal history showed something like "waiting to be processed" for maybe 2 weeks, then it just refunded my money by default.

masonxstorm91 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 yeah i had this site on bookmark for a bit but realized that when you put anything in the cart it would say they didn't have any left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinfatbeats Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 i was able to add items to my cart and complete my order, paypal checkout and all. this is pretty fucking irritating, they need to take the site down if they're not fulfilling orders anymore. i just spoke with paypal about trying to de-authorize the payment, and strongly recommended that they stop processing payments for that vendor. she said she would make a note, which likely means they're not going to do anything about it.

pushbacktosquare Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I came across this site and was like... this is too good to be true. Did a little bit of research and saw all the bad feedback and took a step back. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 the dude that ran it unloaded a lot of those records on either here or dead format for really cheap before they stopped selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopdog Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Got taken for the sympathy ride with the guy who runs this before he threw in the towel. I mean sorry things suck dude but I don't want to hear your life story. Just send me my records and we can all move on. he did throw in an extra free record though in that last order for it being late...sucks incompetent people get involved in a relatively simple business of collecting money and mailing records.

yocaseycasey Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 ah, dammit. just found this thread. I definitely ordered $120+ worth of records from these guys a couple of days ago, and I haven't heard anything from them. Now it all makes sense.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The person still sells records on eBay. Just look for the Washington seller with auctions starting at .99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yocaseycasey Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This is total horse-shit. Been on the phone with PayPal for a week trying to get these payments reversed. The Nerd Alert "customer service" number has been disconnected. Results: I have to wait up to 30 days for my money back, because PayPal cannot cancel a merchant's authorization of payments or something like that. So now, I have $120 in limbo because of these stinker-heads and no way of getting a hold of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 i'm not sure why he just doesn't take the site down. Logic dictates that he may still have basic stock of stuff that is not worth anything more now than it was a couple years ago and he wants to slowly get rid of it. If it let you order it, i would be patient. If 30 days go by then file. Your having to wait anyways and if you chargeback immediately you will definitely not get your LPs.

yocaseycasey Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yeah, but I ordered the Alchemy Index and some other OOP records. Doubt that those are coming my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
