RIP OFF ALERTS topic

Thanks. Maybe I'm being very unfair, and I feel slightly weird putting this in a thread called "rip-off", but I sense that "general issues" has also been reported here.

I suppose I have been spoiled with fast comms and fast shipping with other places. Perhaps I'll reconsider my harsh stance - when the fucking thing finally ships. 😂

Yearly reminder : don't order anything from Kristian Olsson.
I'm still waiting for around 200 euros of tapes from 2021/2022 orders. Even with the help of someone close to him, I can't get anything more than "package is ready to go and will be sent next week" messages, then radio silence for a year or so.

This still seems to be a pretty persistent issue unfortunately.

As much as I value his work and like him as a person this does get annoying, I know of multiple people that are currently waiting for stuff and have an outstanding order myself. Complete radiosilence since mid september 2024, 80 euros + shipping order.

Update: I regret doing this.

Right after this bitching, Soundohm came through, and I'm reordering with them.

I'm very guilty of being spoiled with fast shipping. Sometimes things will take a while.

Popping in to say that based on my experience, I would avoid giving Danny Propert/Legless any money for things that he's trying to sell, although I haven't seen him posting anything online for sale in awhile.

Back in June, I paid him $150 for a lot of used items. About a month after sending payment, he gave me some excuse that the things got lost in a move. I tried to work with him and just have him send alternative items to which he agreed....that stuff never got sent either. I tried again to arrange another alternative, and this time it was agreed that he would send new Legless tapes to me. Five months later, I still have nothing but empty excuses from him for why he hasn't come through.

Another update:

I'm done with Soundohm.

After months of waiting for something I messaged them to cancel. The response was basically "Oh, thanks for reminding us. We cannot get that."

That response basically tells me that you the buyer must do the footwork when things are long delayed, not Soundohm.

It's not "rip off" per se. But it's not the kind of "customer service" that I expect.
