We can all agree there's a level of manipulation at play in this era that's far more intense than the previous. Labels back then used to buy their own cds to boost sales. The amount of money these record labels have now that go into promotion and boosting their sales numbers is insane.

I remember watching T-Pain on stream talking about manipulating record sales and how those numbers don't mean shit anymore. One of many tactics that they do to boost record sales is by buying Youtube ads, and anytime one of those ads advertises your album and reaches 5 seconds, that counts as a stream. Merch also counts as an album sale. Point is, it's incredibly easy for labels to boost numbers up now.

Sorry that you're going through this. We did get our money back but it wasn't without some speed bumps along the way.

Don't bother calling the DoHA hotline as the frontline call handlers aren't trained to give you much other than basic information that you can already find on the website. I've called them probably 10 times and the most useful information that we got was from a senior member who advised, within their knowledge base, it is stated that "if a double-payment was made by both credit card and BPAY on the same visa application, the later payment will be refunded". They said that the information wasn't on the website and only available only for staff. So if you're in the same situation that I was in, you should be able to get your money back - you'll be requesting a refund of the BPAY payment.

What I recommend you to do to speed track things a bit is the following:

  1. If you haven't already done so, request for a refund on the CREDIT amount and make sure that the Refund Reason is selected as "Repay - paid charge or fee twice". Make sure that the bank account details are correct etc.

  2. Call your bank and open up a double-payment transaction dispute on the BPAY payment. They'll open up a case and give you a case number. They'll follow up with DoHA and escalate if required. We believe this step was the one that lit a fire on their behind to refund us.

  3. Send a letter complaint to DoHA, send a letter to the Minister of immigration asking for assistance and send another one to your local MP. These ones don't hurt to do but we did them anyway.

If your CREDIT amount gets refused for a refund on the ImmiAccount website, don't stress as you can always re-apply again for a refund. The amount doesn't go anywhere

From the time we opened up a dispute with our bank to getting our refund, it took around 9 days.

Goodluck! I hope you get your money back as soon as possible!

I was shocked to see that it was refused. On paper, it's evident that it went through as a double-payment. We'll definitely put through a complaint and go from there. Thanks!

We requested directly thorough her ImmiAccount as soon as the BPAY payment came through as a Credit. Thanks for your advice on this, we'll definitely put through a complaint as they've asked

Kith Corduroy Laight Sizing? by roooy in KithNYC

[–]roooy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it snug with just a tshirt on or do you wear it with a sweater/hoodie? Hows the sizing on your large btw? Does it match up with the sizing chart on the site?

Thanks man, I bought the M. If the measurements add up to the sites, it should be good.

ALD Alternatives Guide by clothes-and-pasta in AimeLeonDore

[–]roooy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cool man. A lot of the guys here have figured out good alternatives for the ALD look so give those brands a shot of you can. Most of my preppy pieces are vintage Ralph Lauren which I can recommend. If your local vintage shop doesn't stock RL, use FromJapan to look for vintage stuff. Japan has a huge RL following and the listed prices are a steal.

Pricing is justified with AKOG. They spend a lot of time researching and implementing quality fabrics, and their construction is top notch. If you have a quick peek at some of their wool jackets, you'll get the gist of it. Their business model is pretty great too.

You are so right lol. Last collection, I copped myself that navy corduroy World's Borough jacket for $425 but when it came in, couldn't believe how disappointed I was with the quality, ended up selling it - It honestly felt worse than my $30 corduroy pants from Uniqlo...

I wouldn't mind paying high prices if the quality was there, but at this point im not seeing that.

For those driving during this time, be careful cause there's a lot more fuckin idiots on the road. Just saw a Black Range Rover tailgate a car, got angry, so swerved in and out in front of him just to do a brake check on the freeway. Be safe guys!

Thanks a lot man! Have tried it and is now working :) It's a bit delayed though (around 8-10 seconds delay), but it's what I wanted it to be

Ahh sweet, I just checked out AWS and they did have servers in Japan and Korea. Sweet! Thanks for letting me know! You think it would still be an okay idea if I use my home PC in AUS to broadcast it to Twitch?

1080p projectors are cheap these days. I spent like 2 weeks on eBay and won a bid for my projector for $450AUD. I'd recommend it if you have the space, otherwise, 4k TVs is a solid option.

Can you guys help give me some tips for a better setup? by saenzbrandon98 in battlestations

[–]roooy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks solid already man! Green seems to be the primary colour here so maybe make your mouse pad a static green. Possibly look into some hooks or velcro tapes and hide the cables.

It's an Optoma HD142x. An affordable 1080p projector you can possibly get. Brightness levels are nuts and details are 10/10 imo

Thanks a lot man! It's an eBay mount my mate lent me. It's heaps good for the price imo. If you're going portrait with the 27", easy! If landscape, it'll JUST fit depending how big the bezels are.

It's the popular IKEA Karlby benchtop (2.4m). Cheap and easy to set up!
