Of course it has to be aired publicly. That's how you get his attention if he just ignores messages but still see him comment on stuff. When a nice chunk of money is paid and you're past the due date and don't reply back, it gets worrisome. And it's just not MF that was aired publicly. But him being a recognizable vendor there is bound to be more forum posts about him. New potential buyers need to know what they're getting into. Especially in the Fett community.
Were these transactions conducted on Etsy ?
Via dented helmet first, Etsy and payal directly.
I was under the impression buyers were covered when they purchased through Etsy ?
That's not the point tho. Minute Fett does right, it's just the terrible communication and lies that make buyers frustrated and worried. That's why posts like these are made.
Oh man what a bummer, I'm sorry man. I hope you get your items soon.
Yes, thank you. Once I have the items in hand and can inspect them, I will feel better. If all is good, you may have redeemed yourself with me. And I hope you can find a way to do the same with all others having these same issues. I am truly sorry that it had to come to a public cry out for help, but when people fork over lots of money, they tend to get a bit nervous when deadlines are missed and messages don’t seem to connect or give the answers we are hoping for. It’s not personal, it’s just business.
Glad to hear that you received your stuff. Hopefully, things end on a positive note for everyone else as well.Update: I finally received my armor today. Everything looks great. The pieces are very sturdy and thickness is good and evenly distributed. Packing was ok. Some slight scuffing could probably have been prevented if paper or bubble wrap was placed between each piece. But nothing a little sanding won’t cover. Gotta sand them anyway. No cracks or splits, so that is a relief.
I was even contacted through Etsy with apologies and peace offerings. Which was appreciated. Shipping was very fast once it was actually initiated.
Again, I am sorry for bringing this all out in the open. But I feel like if I didn’t, then I may still have been waiting and wondering. But, in my case, Minute Fett has been redeemed. Thank you again. This is (finally) the way.

Ahh, no! Lol
That is really terrible. All I can say is continue to be the “squeaky wheel” and I hope you get your items very soon. There is nothing worse than being ignored and lied to after shelling out large amounts of cash. Stay vigil hunter.
So your order was shipped and on its way meaning your whole post was uncalled for ?
It wasn’t shipped until I started making noise about it. I feel that if I hadn’t, then I would still be waiting in the dark. And it was way passed the deadline according to the original agreement. But, it has been resolved as I stated. Why are you trying to make more of it?
For you yes I agree , I feel sorry for MF if I am honest . The problem is if he is a new vendor and if you throw enough mud it sticks. Negative posts like this are damaging for both reputation and financially . MF has invested a lot of money into this project and people don't seem to realise this , he is also honouring the Fett pride victims plight . it wouldn't make sense to start ripping people off and not honouring / fulfilling orders. What would that achieve ? I hope other people read this and understand that MF will not rip them off , they have nothing to worry about , he often adds bonus pieces to the vendor to make up for any delay .Corona virus began early in the year and started effecting shipping from Asia around January /February, we in the West started to feel the ripples mid to late march , life has been on hold for 12 weeks for most of us , international shipping stopped because planes were grounded , the parcels which were moving were being held in quarantine to kill the virus at both departure and arrival depots causing huge backlogs. Some vendors even stopped shipping because of this . These have been strange times indeed we may still feel the effects in our hobby for many months yet due to the international factors involved.
