I ordered a LV wallet from oc and it came somewhat stained with the dyeing color near the logo. Hardly noticeable but not what I expected given those prices

I've messaged him, not expecting much. Response I got was basically "what do you need me to do for you" going to see how that goes with him.

Agree with you, like you said given the money I paid I expected better. My 15 euro LV wallet (quality not the same of course) but never had any peeling of materials I am having now.

New MB pen in today. 1 of 2 ordered for different sellers on 27th Feb. Still waiting on 2nd.
This one was $16.80 at time of purchase.
Really pleased with what arrived. It's the blue 'Jules Verne'.
Weight is good and feels substantial. Quality and finish feels and looks good.
Really nice blue look and feel.
Didn't come with a fancy case, standard cloth tube, which is ok. I'll not use it anyway.
I've got a few MB rep pens now and normally swap out the pen refill with a Monteverdi ballpoint refill from the 'bay. Quality of ink seems much better.

Update: issue with OC.

Whilst I understand on a whole that OC is respected for goods here. My first experience with him has been somewhat poor.

- Seems to be intentionally not responding to messages.
- unwilling to help / assist with the issues
- customer service from OC is poor so far, no offer of help or resolution to resolve the issue.

Wallet is only 4 months old. Cost: £95 . Pictures uploaded showing issues.

Potential buyers may wish to keep this in mind when purchasing :)

If I've come across as a bit of a dick feel free to shout me out ha! Just want highlight potential issues to others and save them money.

Outcome in short OC is not prepared to help in any shape or forum. Chalk this one down to a learning experience

Hey mate. When he replied saying "what do you want me to do?" What did you reply?

I'd have suggested repair/replace at his discretion. If he rejected that then I'd have been pissed...

Who do you recommend @eliano ?
Nobody mate. Ive been on this thread since the start and oc has always been a rip off in my opinion, i cannot suggest an alternative , but £100 for a Rep wallet is a bit OTT . Oc is not a TD

100% agree that $100 is a lot for a rep wallet.

I have no affiliation to OC, was hopeful that you had an alternative trader who offered similar quality for less.

Cheers.

I asked what he could do for me. As I was not satisfied that it is falling apart after such a short time.

He asked if I've ever soaked it in water (who knows why) After responding to that and providing more pictures (as per his request) his response was "sorry after a long time to use the wallet, the problem we can't help you"

Needless to say won't be going back to him. Looks like I am not the only one having problems with him these days

So glad I opted for cheap hermes belt instead of going through OC. Sometimes cheaper is better.

Ordered something of DHGate and paid extra for DHL express shipping. Got an email about 5 days ago that the product has been shipped but the shipping number doesn't show up in DHL and at DHGate it looks like this:

Crossed out some parts of my order number but it hasn't been updated ever since the first email. Is that normal procedure?
Shipping from China to Thailand via DHL Express should be pretty fast.. but nothing in the mail yet either.
