  1. do not buy from hysterichostile - he purposedly sent a wrong item to me

    User is based in Singapore

    bought a pair of guidis from him but he sent a piece of sh!t yohji yamamoto shirt to me

    Updated:

    Refund is in progress but will need to wait 1-2 days because Hysterichostile will need to transfer funds via DBS bank in Singapore. I will provide a full report and change feedback once its reversed.

    Basically what happened was Hysterichostile got his girlfriend to mail out the sold items but she mistakenly sent them to someone else. So I received a Yohji Yamamoto shirt but the Guidi went to someone else. It may be miscommunication and/or human error but I will have to wait. His girl packed and shipped it for him. This shows lack of responsibility in my opinion. Brandon (hysterichostile) should have packed and shipped it out himself

    Yes he had no posts on SZ but i've done a background check of hysterichostile with nictan & gnow (both sz regulars) and said his transactions with hysteric has been good so far, but as a buyer only and met face to face.

    Now im patiently waiting for the refund to go through as the transfer may take up to 1-2 business days to process from DBS bank

    I have Brandon Kang's facebook (hysterichostile) and his mobile number. Will provide that out if this is not resolved within 2-3 business days.

    I also had a problem with Brandon Kang aka hysterichostile. Made a purchase for a pair of Dior jeans and a Julius shirt. Sent him payment on March 1st after he insisted I make the payment immediately since the price I was going to pay was a limited time offer, so I in return insisted that he send me a tracking number for my order. After I sent payment, it took almost a week after having to hound him to send it out, for him to say he "lost" the tracking number and therefore could not provide me with one. Few SuFu members reported to me that this seller was pretty "dodgy" but they did infact receive the goods they ordered from him after a month, so I decided to wait it out.

    After appx 3 weeks, I messaged Brandon Kang that I still had not received the items I ordered, to which replied that he would refund me "ASAP". He never refunded me. Had to go through the arduous ordeal of having to go through Paypal for my refund.

    In the 6 years worth of transactions I had with members of the Superfuture community, this was the first and only problematic one, hopefully it will also be the last.

    tldr;

    Made purchase of DH jeans and Julius shirt on March 1st.

    Never received tracking number.

    Seller said he would refund me, never did.

    Had to go through Paypal to get refund.

    It is now April 17th and never received items from seller (Just FYI for those who actually got their items from him after a month).

  2. Update: I've receieved word from Hyster that he will be shipping my goods soon. All is well. Paradigm Shift seems to have overreacted.

    Let's see. It is now March 25th. Still no tracking, and still have not received items from seller. Informed seller the 20th about situation, said he would refund me "ASAP". Still NO refund....

    Caveat emptor, that is all.

  3. Buyer beware. I sent this guy payment March 1st and still to this date have not received any tracking # after having asked for it from him numerous times. He is currently ignoring my messaging, so I have had to open a dispute with Paypal.

  4. Pardon me if this question was asked already...

    The "Joey Electrics" came in what colors exactly? Is there really a "gunmetal" color and a "silver" color, or are they the same?

    gunmetal-34.jpg

    This is from SevenNY site labeled as "gunmetal".

    MRrFvoLQk.jpg

    This is a picture provided by a seller with a pair but lists it as "silver".

    Are there actually two different shades being sold by A77?

    If so, I am interested in the darker shade "gunmetal", but I've only seen them sold @ SevenNY. They are currently sold out of the item, so if anyone could locate me a pair / point me in the direction of one, it would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

  5. Dior jeans payment just sent, can't believe the nerve of that paradigm guy to just flake out.

    You know what, you can believe what you want. Im telling you I've been trying to work shit out amicably with VDSupreme about these jeans for over 2 fucking weeks now. It was frustrating trying to contact this guy. Its not enough that he takes so long to respond to emails, but the fact that I had to repeatedly email him questions as to the condition of his jeans, because he seemed to ducking certain questions ( I guess I was asking too many).

    And what would cause me to be so adamantly suspicious? Well for starters, in VDSupreme's original thread (http://216.75.13.34/showthread.php?p=927891&highlight=dior+wax#post927891) he doesn't even provide his own pictures. Instead VDSupreme steals this guy Dizasta's pictures from a previous FS thread (http://216.75.13.34/showthread.php?t=41858&highlight=luster) .

    How the fuck is someone supposed to get an idea of what they're buying if they cant even see pictures of what they're buying.

    So I pressed on, after having brought that to his attention, I asked him in detail about the condition of his jeans, and if he can provide pictures (his OWN pictures) to show me what's up. After a couple of days, finally get a response, that the jeans have not only been altered, that they are infact damaged.

    Interesting how he could have forgotten to mention it. (10) No mention of it here on this thread, his previous one, and the thread he made on MSN Dior Homme group.

    So there's still no pictures provided by him, so I use the imperfections as a bargaining chip, and now the guy actually offers to take them into a tailor to have them repaired before shipping them out to me. Cool, so I ask him to let me know when they've been repaired, and once again to show me his own pictures of the jeans (cause he still hasnt at this point).

    Days go by, and instead of getting back to me and responding, he puts up a listing on MSN DH group (where he's asking $500 there after he's already offered it to me for lower). And now he's made this new thread here shortly after. Im guessing he's fishing for another buyer cause I'm giving him so much trouble .

    Can you blame me? Is it seriously asking too much to provide pictures of the very product youre trying to buy? I realize I'm snitchin' hella hard at this point, but I dont give a fuck considering what this guy's put me through.

    I was still interested in the jeans, maybe much to my detriment, but fuck it now. If someone else already got these, best of luck to you. Hopefully you dont have to put up with the shit I went through, and hopefully the guy sends them to you repaired, and that they do infact resemble the pictures he's FINALLY provided on this thread.

  8. The answer may not necessarily be in a new deck. Maybe your trucks are too high / not responsive enough for you. What trucks are you currently using? Before trying new trucks, you can always add angled risers to your current trucks, or use lower durometer urethane bushings to acheive quicker response in your turning. If that doesnt fix the problem then replace your current trucks. As a general rule of thumb, trucks with narrower hanger widths tend to have quicker response than wider ones.

    As far as a new deck goes, you might want to look into decks with drop-thru/dropped truck mounting to effectively lower your stance height, allowing you to push with more ease. Moreover, I find decks with cambers easier to push as well as carve.

  9. surely you mean the superfuture?

    i'd be all for the SNUG, but my 60+ posts are definitely not gonna cut it. so obviously i'm against it (for now).

    I've got nothing against SNUG itself, if some people want to run thinking theyre going to build a safe haven there from trolls, so be it, that's their prerogative. And as far as the post count thing goes... is that really a requirement over there? I would hope not, since it is clearly evidenced on various internet BBS' (including here), that while some people have such high volumes and #'s of posts, they certainly dont have much to say.
