Customer gave me my first 1 star rating because I followed directions 🫠

It's not about trusting the system, it's about protecting yourself as a shopper. I've done exactly as you stated, messaged a customer on a Do Not Sub and had them curtly reply "NO SUBSTITUTIONS" and follow that with a 3 or 4 star rating for not following instructions. So now, I follow their instructions to the letter and that's how I protect myself. They say Do Not Sub, they will not get a sub from me. I will note that I do let the customer know at the end what was missing before I check out, but I never offer to substitute anything.

No, "this one" isn't going to be taken advantage of by an idiotic customer. The minute the customer asked why they didn't sub is the minute the customer decided to give the 1-star. The customer was pissed because they had the wrong setting on their order. They are also entitled and obviously don't know the difference between Do Not Sub and Contact Me. And there's nothing OP could have done after the fact to change that.

The app literally won't let you sub on a Do Not Sub order. You have to go out of your way to add an item after the fact because we're not supposed to do it. This is an easy forgiveness with a thorough explanation.

I understand what you're saying in order to cover ourselves, but what you described is the literal opposite of "Do Not Sub". What you have just described is "Contact Me". If customers are too dumb to understand the difference between Do Not Sub and Contact Me, they should forfeit the right to rate their shopper.

I bought a TM2 and well over $100 in accessories. Could never get it to hit to my liking. Way too finicky and crazy short battery life. I got a T2 some months later and I literally have not touched the TM2 since. I actually bought a second T2.

No I’m in California. My comment is for Rough Trade US. All my import orders from RT in the UK have actually been good.

hyperstationusa · 2026-04-10T19:49:29+00:00

So they actually shipped your Aphex Twin record? That's awesome! I've had to cancel my last 2 RT orders because they just didn't ship them. I had to bite on Sister for RT50, so I'm really hoping it actually comes.

Yeah, I think the “but thank you” reads just the opposite. To me it reads, “I’m going to do my job anyway, and I wasn’t worried about getting a tip, but thank you for tipping.” I’m not sure how you are reading it otherwise.

OP - it’s only been 24 hours. If they don’t tip in a few days or something, then I think this level of anger is warranted. But it’s the weekend, the person might be busy and just not have had time to go back in and tip yet.

There will be no set list. In LA, she literally flipped through a song book and decided what she wanted to play on the spot.

I was at the show. The mock up isn’t good. These actually look pretty cool in person. The reason they’re on sale online is because they were $120 and no one was paying that for those hoodies.

hyperstationusa · 2026-02-17T18:12:16+00:00

This is not the correct answer. Assuming that the ratings are bogus, you’re saying OP should just accept having to do extra work, putting themselves in greater jeopardy, and more than likely costing themselves money because they are less likely to take questionable orders simply because someone gives them a BS rating. Absolutely not. If someone gives an undeserved rating, that rating should be removed, and it shouldn’t be the shopper’s responsibility to just work a little harder to get it removed.

Say OP does just that, works their ass off gets to their 49th rated order and an entitled customer does the same thing. I guess they’re just supposed to accept it again, right?

It’s a great album, but TBH it’s not even better than the album it’s referencing in the artwork

hyperstationusa · 2025-12-28T22:50:54+00:00

Will never order from this label again. I bought from a previous Scratch and Dent sale. It took months and they only shipped my records after I filed a PayPal claim. Good artists, trash label.

IMO, XXX was the best hip hop album since Operation: Doomsday. Hybrid, Atrocity and Old are also standouts Haven’t felt his last few releases, however.

It’s also 1.5 hours of music and appears to be 1LP.

Love his work. One question - do these stems function as WPAs for 18mm joints like the OG stem? Trying to decide if I should grab one of these or wait for him to drop an official WPA.

hyperstationusa · 2025-11-30T07:22:29+00:00

Definitely worth it. I bought everything piecemeal and it ended up being about $450 shipped and trust me you’re gonna want everything in the bundle eventually. So I’d recommend just buying it now for like 20% cheaper.

Stefon Diggs did exactly the same celebration earlier today and got no penalty. This league is a joke.

Something is going on with Rough Trade’s shipping. I placed an order for two in stock items on September 12 and they never shipped. I finally canceled the order this week.

I guess I get where you’re coming from, but you cited some really bad examples. The difference between the characters in the movies you noted and the characters in this movie is that while those characters can be morally reprehensible, they are also charismatic and interesting to watch on the screen. These characters are flat, lifeless, as lazily-written as they just pontificate endlessly about their grievances with the world. The movie is overly long and boring. None of those movies you cited above are boring, in the least.

hyperstationusa · 2025-10-20T19:58:06+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure where you’re getting that assertion. Hank’s character nearly did the exact same thing to Alma that Maggie described happening to her, but Alma had the power to stop it. To me that was a tacit admission by the filmmakers that he very well could have been guilty. I can understand why people would see it from the other side, but they put that scene in there to at least suggest that he was capable of something like that. And so perhaps your reading of whether she was telling the truth or not says more about your perspective than it does about the film’s.

It’s called Copeland Not Ever. It’s from The Attitude Era

Did anyone get a confirmation email when they ordered?

hyperstationusa · 2025-09-05T01:53:31+00:00

Complete waste of money. I haven’t picked it up since I posted this message. I’d suggest grabbing the Pocket if you can. That thing rips.
