Ok Jim.
Jimsidious I'm going to be very honest with you. You have every right to have your freedom on the board, to call me out, to message me, to command a certain level of service. Honestly I commend you for your efforts. You have a go-getter attitude. Now, I have all 4 messages from you that have collected in my inbox now from Monday. My intent was to respond in a timely matter and to come through with all I had clearly laid out in our transaction. I believe you now have your boots, commissioned and complete and your toes spikes from MCR. And now you have the refund from the spikes that which you paid for ($70). Please review your thread.
As you had mentioned in your messages "Just refund me and we're through" or "Just refund me and we are done". I have refunded and will oblige you.
In this hobby, set backs, time between messages, money lost, it's par for the course. I don't need to tell you that. We keep coming back both buyers and sellers for the love of the inevitable and ne'er completion of our projects. And for me, I'm fairly new. In fact I only started selling on TDH a year ago. This is my hobby as much as it is yours. Thank you for the growing pains. It only validates me because I've touched enough hobbyists to get to that one that just wasn't perfect.
So when you post or mildly harass (not saying it was harassment) a seller or someone working on a commission, it's not their first. Won't be their last. Because, and I don't speak for all my colleagues, because they may do a better job and even have a better track record, we can't please everyone. And I failed this time.
But I won't fail at "we are done". So Jim, you won't need any more boots from me. There some other reputable sellers such as CAboots and some sellers on ebay if you ever need another pair. I thank you so much for you business and growth. From now on I will take the lessons that you have bestowed graciously up me and apply them to my future customers.
You can reply back about my lack of communication, untimely refund. But, honestly, it's just going to make a reputation for yourself. I would just stand by your words, the request as in, "We are done."
Wishing you luck on your build,
Fandango
