Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 10, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 10, 2019 I guess the "thing" at cutesy if the seller doesn't agree to make it SOONER is to just buy the listing and leave a 'note' asking to get it sooner?@!# Causes me to refund all money and cancel order, much like eating too much too fast cause a PUKE Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members rodneywt1180b Posted April 10, 2019 Members Report Posted April 10, 2019 Nice to see I'm not alone. I've had it happen once. I tried contacting them every way I could (through Etsy and their provided email) multiple times. I never refunded the money. I figured that would at least get them to reply back. Nothing. It's like they fell off the face of the earth right after they ordered. Now I put a warning at the top of my listing stating that not telling me the size they need will result in delays in shipping their order. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 13, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Yikes. The guy writes and asks can he get it sooner, or did I really mean 3-4 weeks. And I say nope, not kiddin. So teh guy BUYS IT ANYWAY, and leaves a note saying he needs it sooner. So I refund the purchase price in full, cancel the order, tell him maybe help him another day. Now get message, he didn't want to cancel, just was asking for sooner, and still wants the holster if it's available. WTH?@! Now I feel like if I sell him one, I gotta charge for the time for all the messages I gotta endure! SO THEN.... if you boys ('n' gals) are making pocket holsters for the Bond Arms Bullpup 9mm, theys a feller on cutesy whats a'wantin' one ... EDIT: OH yeah -- he's willin' ta spend $100 fer it, and he likes the pic of it on my cutesy thingie, which you are welcome to use if you like.

Haha..I should contact him and tell him I can make it for him but since I've never made one before it will take 8 weeks and won't be as good. I don't think these people read and understand that these things are being made to order and that what I have in stock is the leather to make it. I'd refund that dude, move on and never look back.

I can wait...it sure is mysterious, though. I have to assume that the "buyer" really loves my work and wants to make a donation. Thanks, Pal!!! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

If you have spare time, make one for inventory, then message him when you are done in 6 weeks, let him know you have one you can send him in 1 week, but that it will be a rush order so extra charge. Maybe he'll be so excited that he convinced you to make him one faster he'll pay the extra $$. It's like a win win sit-chiation then.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 24, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 24, 2019 I think it's getting worse. Might have to have the web guy add a line, where you gotta agree that you've read the TIME LINE on delivery before it will let you order. Had TWO of them recently, ordered a holster by clicking right next to the "you git it in 6 weeks" button, call me following week ask where's my holster Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

alpha2 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Posted April 24, 2019 Update by the OP...FINALLY heard from the customer. I explained that I hadn't heard from her in quite some time, no answers to the questions about sizing, tooling. I get a convo back with the size, but no info on tooling. So, I replied again, nothing heard in 4 days. Finally called the number included in her latest response. Voicemail. Days go by... Nada. I do believe it's refund time. Get this, it's for her 94 year old mother. She doesn't realize there's a clock ticking here? I did once have a friend order a sheath for his dad, who passed away after I shipped it. (Dad, not the friend.) Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 24, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 24, 2019 Left a number, then doesn't answer it (I DON"T KNOW WHO THAT IS!) What's yer shop? Glad to refer a few when the walleye are biting Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
