Actually I can't get the damn lens out, so still working on that. I did start thinking today that these lenses might not even fit, I doubt the lens shape and size is an exact match to a gen. I'll let you know if I get them in.

So this past week I have had to open my first dispute. Ordered the Ralph hoody and bottoms for £38 previously mentioned in this thread; top arrived with a stain by the logo that looks like someone with oily hands has picked it up. I originally asked for £20 back, which I thought was fair, but they came back saying $10, which they have now raised to $15 but said that is the maximum. They want me to return it back to them, which would cost £12 which is over 30% of the price I paid! I have also mentioned previously that I suspect the items to be counterfeit, although I opened the dispute as stained.

So... the options are:
a) escalate it to Ali asking for the £20 back because it is stained;
b) escalate it to ali asking for the whole amount back because the goods are counterfeit;
c) suck it up and take the $15

I only originally asked for £20 back because I thought this was fair, although now the seller is basically accusing me of staining the top myself!

I'm A2 (320 points) by the way.

Any feedback appreciated. Cheers

They are pretty fcked anyway if you prove it's counterfeit.
Chinese will never accept your "best" offer :) if you asked 25, they would've gived you 20
Just put a little more pression on them and they'll accept your deal

They use heated sand to adjust frames but I have used hot water for some flex
Goodluck!

Anyone purchased any good quality denim??


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


i dont think they can replicate the denim very well, their cotton feels different, i got some dsquared jeans but they are crap, very soft but not a good replica, and some Balmain biker jeans but they are an oiled finish looked accurate but the threads frayed easily

Take the $15. Buy a $3 stain stick and a 6 pack of beer. Everyone wins.

You could threaten him with the counterfeit claim to see if you can get more but I would not do it for just a couple of bucks since that may result in his store getting pulled and the rest of us out a RL vendor.

Got my eva yeezy's. Good quality pair for the price but I think they're too big. I wear size 9 UK so I got US 9 1/2 which is UK 9 apparently and they feel a little bit loose. They look the same size as my other size 9 trainers but I guess they have much less padding etc. so they're bigger inside. Gonna try to sell at cost on gumtree or something so I can buy a better fitting pair maybe (or just wear thicker socks!).

Just something to be aware of if you're buying some. They say they are EU 43+1/2 US 9+1/2 UK 9 but my new balance trainers say EU 43 US 9+1/2 UK 9 so obviously there's some discrepancy in sizing.

I received mine as well, they claimed it to be 100% cotton. And I am sure it is not. The sleeves are on the short side. And the logo is a joke.
It smelled of chemicals/plastic/jet fuel. So not too happy. I will wash it to see how it holds up. I will dispute.
My main point is that it is not cotton. I will try a burn test on some fibers, and if necessary attach a video of it to my dispute.
