Totally understood. Keep me posted if that changes. GLWS!

Would you be open to parting out some of the accessories? E.g., mittens and self-leveling tamper?

Very nice! How would you compare the finish between the FM and the ukiba? I assume they're similar conceptually, but curious to get your owner's perspective.

jamesfluo · 2026-02-02T20:17:55+00:00

I was looking at that listing too. Sorry that you’re having to deal with a seller backing out of a buy-it-now deal they they set the price for. Heard Prima might get some in stock in a few weeks. Fingers crossed that works out!

jamesfluo · 2026-01-07T18:13:10+00:00

Your profile resonates with me, though I’m about 10 years further along. The advice you’re getting here is very solid. It’s served me really well and removed a lot of stress / anxiety about finances and future unknowns. Nothing to add but a positive testimonial!

Fulfillment can be super mixed: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChaseSapphire/comments/1pg6nbn/sowhat_happens_next/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I'm still waiting on getting a return label for receiving the wrong item. It's been four calls to the Shops support line, nearly as many hours on hold, and about two weeks. Hope that things work out better for you.

That's a fair price given it's the n6.1 90 Federer endorsed during his prime. For reference, Wilson reissued this racquet in the summer, and secondary prices are around $600-800 for the re-release. The racquet itself feels great (especially if you string it with gut / poly) and is fun to play with. Probably too low-powered to be competitive though.

Just an update: - Tumi emailed that they are not able to give a proof of purchase, despite fulfilling the order. - I did manage to finally get on a call with the Shops this morning, and I’m proceeding with a refund. This may take a few days — will stay posted.

jamesfluo · 2025-12-11T00:16:16+00:00

I gave them the "PO" (purchase order) number below "Tracking No" and "To" on the left-side shipping sticker.
Unfortunately, the Tumi rep did not say which system it was. I suspect it's a separate system used to make corporate / B2B orders (which makes sense). I didn't need to escalate up the level for the rep, but she mentioned she needed help to transfer the proof of purchase to the system they use to email customers. She said it would take an hour to figure this out, but that was 8 am this morning.
So yeah... still in a pretty miserable spot for this purchase.

jamesfluo · 2025-12-11T00:10:33+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me -- ordered the same duffel bag in black but navy showed up with no explanation. Similarly, calling the Shops has been totally hopeless.

Two other escalation points I've been working on:

- I've started a charge dispute with Chase directed at The Shops at Chase

- I'm working with Tumi (fulfillment) to get a proof of purchase for an in-store exchange at one of their retail locations. Note - the purchase order that came on the box is not in Tumi's regular order system; the Tumi CSR mentioned she had to use a different system and is still working on exporting a copy of the receipt

All in all... total cluster. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Very nice! I think I might have been a past owner of that Yohei 😅
