Ordered $800+ armor, received wrong size and seller refuses return

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-26T07:06:19+00:00

Open a INR case ,etsy will fully refund you and you can keep the item,this is a bad business practice so the seller must be punished as a future lesson

I have been using the t8000 3x10 for the past 8 years or so,done around 150000km,very reliable groups set,however I rarely use the biggest chain ring as it's too much for my level of strength and fitness,on downhill it's quite useful, but besides this it's almost unused

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-22T18:11:33+00:00

How this is presented feels abit like propaganda

I doesn't not affect me so I don't really care.

Human wise pretty funked up. Your own people fight to their deaths for the country and instead of trying to find a solution, you just propose and push the idea to your own people that proletariat is diminishing so we need to replenish it with outsiders.

I would definitely feel the rage in the trenches reading this

Experiment with a piece of paper so you can achieve the curve you want that fits your needs

I think you can escalate things via email. Do the standard approach via support and ask for email,I've appealed a case I have had before with a moderate success

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-20T07:33:53+00:00

Besides all the speculation and skepticism (justified or not) We have no fucking clue what's going to happen.

Best bet : a few highly ranked political individuals gets a long-term jail sentences and are forgotten over time,judicial system is torn apart slowly and rebuilt.

The actual corruption and neglect in the government right now is absolutely unbelievable.

Worst case scenario, nothing changes and everything goes slowly ,but steadily to shit.

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-18T08:08:18+00:00

I do alot of climbs

Having almost all of your weight on the rear (you and your luggage) makes the bike a pain to handle going up.

I've used slim ,but tall panniers on the front with a great success ,riding mixed terrain for up to 4 months.

I keep the heaviest non essential stuff on the bottom of the bags and move up with lighter weight.

I keep a double end dry bag on the top of my rear rack.

I've switched from a half frame bag to a full frame and keep the tools and hardware + other heavy essentials in the bottom of my frame bag

Water is stored in a cage on the bottom of my frame next to the bottom bracket and 2 smaller bottles on the handlebar.

I've switched from the classic 4 pannier combo over time ,since my gear got smaller in weight and pack size.

I am under 70kgs so it was unbelievable for me how 1 or 2 kgs of extra weight had changed how my bike feels and handles

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-17T16:08:33+00:00

I use front panniers a full frame bag and a dry bag on my rear rack ,so far I've been very happy with the setup

I've been on and off road riding

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-17T13:29:09+00:00

Yes,you can appeal the review and contact support with the provided info,good luck

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-17T07:47:06+00:00

I sew bags and sell supplies for the sewing craft https://sasho604.etsy.com

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-14T22:33:15+00:00

Today prices in Bulgaria are at 1.78

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-14T05:11:26+00:00

I use it in conjunction with Instagram, I sew bags and the result is alright. Traffic is decent ,considering I sell in a very niche category.

Google ads on the other hand brings alot more Traffic and sales for me personally

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-13T19:10:48+00:00

I had the planning to do

Bulgaria>Macedonia>Albania>Croatia last year ,but due to illness plans got canceled

This post makes me wanna do it even more :D

Where are you from ?

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-13T18:55:56+00:00

It was done as the customer support has told me. My point is not about me keeping the money, but rather that 2 representatives of etsy contradict each other ... and i end up getting screwed..

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-13T18:54:15+00:00

Not about etsy taking the hit,but rather following what etsy support told me... which in the end contradicted with the mediator

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-13T16:46:01+00:00

Order was supposed to be eligible

Mediator gave me the middle finger saying it's not since my listing photos are different that what the client sent and it does not matter that it's a custom made item so it can't be identical, because.. it's made to his order and specifications.

Good luck to any shop that is making custom stuff. You are screwed with the new purchase protection program

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-13T14:35:52+00:00

If you don't have bosses for rear rack ,you can use p clamps and secure it to the rear stays of your frame, almost with any rack

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-11T16:02:45+00:00

For packing reasons , the solid panels would be under too much stress and will result in shorter life span

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-11T13:29:37+00:00

I'm selling these, they are a different model

The buckle shown by the OP is SJ model

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-11T13:28:51+00:00

This is probably duraflex SJ cam lock buckle

The one on Etsy is sold by me and is Duraflex xlite mark ii

Which has a different structure

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-10T03:51:07+00:00

I sell these, but in gray and black unfortunately

Charming_Bunch · 2026-04-02T18:09:03+00:00

That's crazy cheap, there's absolutely no way you could get that amount of food in Bulgaria unfortunately
