On the topic of scams, here’s a story in case it’s useful to anyone. This happened in 2019 in the US and I meant to post about it, but when I finally found time the scammer was already banned from grailed.

I ordered a J43A from this dude and everything seemed above board, until USPS delivered the package… and it didn’t arrive. I’ll spare the details, but I ultimately figured out he’d shipped it to a different apartment building in the same zip code, and then picked it up from that apartment himself (or maybe he had a helper idk).

1. First I went to Grailed. These guys are beyond useless. They basically just link you to the PayPal page where you can open a dispute, and then act as cheerleaders the rest of the time. There is no way in hell they would have made me whole if PayPal fell through.
2. PayPal refused to refund me initially because the zip code was right, and a tracking number only shows the zip code, so as far as they knew it was delivered just fine. They said if I got proof from USPS they’d refund me. They told me I could also dispute the charge with my credit card company.
3. When I called USPS, they were able to verify that the shipping address was the wrong place, the one I suspected, but they can only confirm it when prompted. They can never say “this is where it was sent,” only “yes” and “no” when you make guesses, lol. I tried but I couldn’t get PayPal to phone them.
4. Finally after a lot of persuasion  and headache, I managed to get a physical printout of the shipping label at the origin from USPS. (To be clear, they are not supposed to give you this.) I gave it to PayPal and they initially rejected it, but then I was like “what the fuck this is exactly the proof you asked for” and they were like oh okay fine.

Lessons:

• I deeply suspect Grailed purchase protection is never helpful. If you read their documentation you can see they never promise to reimburse you, only “work with you and the seller to make it right.”
• PayPal seems to not be interested in resolving fraud claims. By about 2/3 of the way through this process it was clear that they wanted me to open a credit card dispute, because I guess credit card companies have properly staffed fraud departments.
• If you complain enough to USPS they will actually confirm shipping destinations for you.

Received a full refund after several attempts exactly from Grailed after my package was lost or delivered to a different address. I used a mail forwarding company address, the one and only proof was an email from them, stating that they hadn't received my package.

Meanwhile Paypal refused to refund.

Thanks for trying, I am the idiot who fell for it. Pretty ridiculous considering how much ACR I own actually...laughing at myself for being such a dumbass. Maybe between all this noise Grailed will help me out, I did hear from them and emailed them all the photos etc as they requested. 

Can't help to wonder if the guy who bought the CH jacket got a real one? Paid $6K ..were there reps of those? Pretty obtuse, old piece but the internet is made of some wild wild west as shit. 

Also wondering if this guy runs the Fashion Reps page on Reddit and made it private so they can all hide and think they are doing something cool 

Mean that Initially thinking that the seller is a noob, i pmed him before ur post and warn that he sold a fake and need to refund asap.

But the description indirectly indicates, that he knew about a fake and trying to justify the lack of a paper+plastic bag. 

I assume u will get a refund without any problems. Don't worry

PSA on Grailed/ Reps/ getting screwed: DO NOT BUY FROM RC8X / David Ionita 

I recently bought a P23TS-CH on Grailed from RC8X  who has tens of thousands of dollars worth of ridiculously priced ACR pieces on the site. We went back and forth for a while and finally came to an agreement on a piece I have wanted for a long time. I unboxed them yesterday and was really psyched for about 30 seconds,  until I realized they are reps...mother fucker

I have submitted a claim through PayPal and will probably also do so with my credit card. I just got a reply back from Grailed so hopefully something can be done there. 

According to PayPal the guy's name is David Ionita [real?]. His profile on Grailed says shipping from Hong Kong but the package actually shipped from Saddle Brook NJ with the return address as my address. 

Ultimately it's my fuck up for not looking at the photos with more scrutiny; now in the rear view I can clearly see that I missed details that are obvious. What got me is the exhaustive list of high end pieces he has with lots of photos, so I ASSumed [you know what they say about assume...] that this would be authentic. He also has a handful of good reviews for pieces that don't seem likely to be reps but who the F knows. He sold some P33-DS and SAC J6-011 which I can't imagine there are reps of but anything is possible 

Maybe he is just trying to slip a few reps in the pile and hope they go unnoticed. 

The rep list of differences in case it can help someone else [many of these are on a Reddit reps page but it recently went private...wtf]:

- cuffs are some shit ass Lululemon garbage and not DS, also too short 

- missing vertical stitch line by the button at the fly 

- size tag is stitched through the tag....E would never do this shit

- size tag is not thick and plasticy, it's much thinner material and most likely screen printed, also font is fading / scratched 

- cut is way off, waist is not a cinch down, it's like normal size 

- movement is restricted when trying to kick caps off of bottles, which is obviously the biggest problem 

- stitching on ribbon is not the same, ribbon is flimsy 

- pocket fabric lacks sheen found on the diagonal stripes of authentic items 

I am fuming over my mistake but more so on the fact that people are trying to pull this shit off. How do you sleep at night? What will you think on your death bed? 

Pretty sure he lurks here or is a member...help me out community...anyone know this guy? Aliases?  I am open to an honest solution, I don' want or need to go to war. That said I have copied and pasted a very terse message into most of his 88 listings in Grailed. Copy and paste can be your friend. 

DAVID if you are reading this get your shit together and work with me.

Which means: he refunds me and I send him his pants back. Or light them on fire. 

Overall, it sucks but I have conducted many transactions on Grailed and have a 97% happy rate so, eventually, shit happens. 

If anyone has input on the above, I appreciate your time.

TL/DR; do not buy from RC8X, check details on a purchase with exhaustive attention to detail, reps are stupid.

After I saw the listing about a week ago or so, i instantly reported to Grailed team - replied that they would sort it out asap. From grailed photos it was ez to spot a fake. 

Also send him a pm. Zero reaction.

Bump. Price drop to $1800 USD.

Just edit ur previous post. There's not necessary to post/bump the same post multiple times on the same page. It doesn't work like that on a forum, but it's more like spam and gets a little tiring at times.

3. Someone (ssence/shipping service employee) simply replaced the og P30AL-DS with an ancient fake of the P30-DS during the order preparation/shipping + added paper ssence tag on them.

Lol, you know CH is partly made from synthetic fibres as well, right? CH is as much plastic as DS, really.

-CH is 50 percent cotton => less plastic than - DS. So, he's right. 

Also irl it's feels more like natural fabric tho.

It's more likely that these are slimmer than previous versions OR maybe he sized down on these ones?

Yes. That's what I mean: slimmer than previous one. 

Looks like he's gained a lot of weight or this version of the p10ds looks even worse than previous from SS20.

Nah. Better pay attention to his socks and exactly the same socks from the previous pic with the sk30-ds. Some kind of one more og special kit i suppose: skocks+skirt

Most likely he's retired. And the brand is run by his mediocre doubleganger.  

Cuz the real E said a gold phrase about "not buying acronym...." 

Imo it's a real trash. Looks like a cheap riot division jacket or some cope techwear Asian brand.

Also it's - SD. Already wrinkled straight out from the box. 

What a shame :            (

Subnet preorder prices for retailers r always funny. In the end it should be + 60-70% on top, but still not so expensive.

Wait til you see it in person, it was easily the best item in the showroom. The texture of the Burel wool is absolutely amazing, nothing like the J65-ak/km

Better than AK? I really like ak on 65 tbh.

No worries. The new theme will be bdsm with spikes and black - px latex like details

C1-AJ in Braun is forever in my top 3. If they re-released I'd probably grab a couple more.

Couldn't possibly tell you how many times I've worn it since I bought it on the first day it released lol

Hep, it's cool, but I like C1-AM more, prefer grey over brown and mesh transparent sexy look. ..

I guess it’s ironic one of my favorite ACR jackets has zero subsystems? lol. 

Feels like Max Mara for Acronym. I can’t begin to count how many compliments i’ve received in the small amount of time i’ve owned it so far. 

Cuz plain, non hyped acr without stupid gimmicks is goat lol

Lets talk Coats.

Has anyone over the years had an Acrnm coat that they really enjoyed?

I'm partial to the J46-S. It seems to be the right amount of everything. Versatile, simple and great.

My fav are J61-WS (for spring /summer) and J46-FO (autumn/winter). 

Oh forgot about J33-E. Have both colorways.
