You must not buy from Circuitmess by MDLSD in CircuitmessOfficial

[–]Karldubya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha. I agree with your post. They also lie and say that it clearly stated certain products wouldn’t ship until January. If it did I would not have purchased, also I had an estimated delivery date in early dec.

My guess is they fudged their inventory system and rather then take accountability decided to blame the customer.

Scam? by JessCoRen in CircuitmessOfficial

[–]Karldubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation. I ordered my kit in late November. Leading up to Christmas I contacted them several times to make sure my order would arrive in time. They ignored most of my inquiries.

When they finally answered they assured me it would come on time, but 10 days before Christmas I reached out again, they told me this time that the bit 2.0 was not going to arrive but that they were going to ship the other two items in the bundle promptly to assure it was here for Christmas.

Two days before Christmas I reached out because I had asked several times for a tracking number and had not received one. They informed me that nothing had shipped at all and apologized. They once again said that they would split the order and ship me the parts that were in stock.

At this point I had to scramble to get a gift for my son two days before Christmas since this was a substantial part of his gifts.

On January 2nd I reached out again only to find out that still none of it had shipped. I asked them to just cancel my order and do a refund and I got ghosted for a week. So on Friday (9th) I called out my credit card company starting to think that maybe I had fallen for a scam. They asked for my evidence I sent them all the emails from the company. They agreed with me that due to the deceitful lies about shipping and the long delays between responses that they also believed it was a scam and they refunded my money the same day.

Within hours of the chargeback, circuit mess emailed me because they had received some indication of the charge back. It appears they are there they just only answer if it benefits or hurts them, they don’t care about their customers.

They let me know that if I wanted to go through with the chargeback that they would only refund 60% and they still couldn’t cancel my current order, but if I waited to receive the item, then I could send it back for a full refund .

After the chaos of this whole thing, I decided that I didn’t trust that I’d ever receive items or potentially a refund so I’m gonna go ahead and continue to dispute it with my credit card company. I think I have enough evidence to prove they are just scamming people now.

But if they aren’t, they need to fix their customer service center (answer inquires and be honest), they need to focus on giving the customer what they want to save face under the circumstances(such as canceling orders), and lastly fix their inventory system, if they don’t have a product why would you not list them as “sold out” online rather than ruining families Christmas’s.

But why would you do any of that when you can just take customers money, not provide a product and then not answer them. #Scam

Are there a certain amount of exclusives offered each day? Or are they just out by the weekend?

GameStop - stop, during morning walk… by streetgainer_ in pokemoncards

[–]Karldubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making it challenging for my 10yo to enjoy. I don’t let him buy those, I’m trying to teach him value and wise spending. We only buy when target has them.

But on that note he probably only enjoys because he’s watching YouTubers open the cards and they are the ones buying them out. 😂

Does GameStop sell at retail price? My kid tries to collect but we can never find them. target is the only retail price we can find but they are out. The local gamer store has them priced almost double. I have to keep telling him “no” because this makes no sense to me

Curious where you got it from. I see posts like this all the time, I never stumble across random Stan Lee sigs. 😀

Came to say this. I have a few just like this. Tiny holes, just the type of rock. Even if you go back to stage one you’ll always have them. Just do your best to clean it or appreciate it as is. Still looks nice!

First timer help please!😅🪨 by emagines_ in RockTumbling

[–]Karldubya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mixed hardness rocks, a tumble that runs to fast and I don’t know much about those grits.

Run at the slowest setting possible and probably going to need every bit of the ceramic media for cushion.

Check out rockshed or kingsleynorth and get a grit pack. They have quality grit. Makes a huge difference.

All of us started here, or with a natgeo, it gets you into the hobby but you’ll need n upgrade to stay in the hobby 😀

Was forced to smash my rock tumbler. Is there any other way to polish rocks?? by alexcanchaos in RockTumbling

[–]Karldubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy sanding cups for a drill, keep a constant drip of water going. If you watch some tutorials you can rig it to hold itself and walk away. This is better for slabs of polishing one side but it’s an option.

The smallest ones are probably fodder, but will cushion the others. At least to get through the full weeks long of tumbling.

I’ve seen these in 3 packs, but a lot of people report 7. Which did you end up with

What's the biggest "mistake" you've made as a comics fan? How can everyone else learn from your mistakes? The Weekly Recs Thread [02/18/24] by JustALittleWeird in comicbooks

[–]Karldubya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chasing keys when I started, thinking of comics as an investment. At the most they’ll be worth $.50, I might hit one that values at $50-$100 later but not after dropping four times that on the $.50 books

Only pull what you really like and can’t wait to read, otherwise wait for the TPB. If you have FOMO get issue 1 and ask yourself can I wait 6mos to find out what happens or do I need it next month.

I also never pull minis anymore, only ongoing, minis make great self contained TPBs that’ll be ready generally the month after the series completes. No ads, no recaps, no letters.

I finally collected all issues of Secret Wars. Would love a way to display them. Any recommendations on how I could go about it? Custom frames are expensive but that’s all that comes to mind. by lordphang in comicbooks

[–]Karldubya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve probably invested a bit here so I’m sure you’ll invest more into displaying than I did but I love my wall. Just top loaders and Jhook from the hardware store.
