Anyone else been having trouble w/ Eat Metal/Greg Varsami?

The subject of daniel's last thread that mistakenly got deleted:

daniel wrote:Ok, like I said I ordered 3 T-shirts from Greg beginning of January. I ordered them online, they sent me a confirmation they had the shirts, I stressed which sized I wanted again cos people seem to make mistakes with that, and then I paid, last week I finally got a parcel, which my name wasn't written on, only the street and door number (I live in Finland, half English), anyway, only got two of my shirts(Sortilége, Brocas Helm), Manilla Road was missing. Now I've emailed several times and there's no reply, then I see Greg is posting 400 metal LP:s for sale here. If I've paid my money I want an explanation for why I haven't got what I paid for, and I shouldn't have to write over and over and over or wait for ages for a reply if the other party obviously has access to a computer and has time to post.

Anyone else?

(@mods: leave it here in Into Battle for the time being.)

You should deserve something for trying.

I never had trouble in the past getting my stuff, but it would some times take ages to get here. I've ordered some stuff from him now, we'll see what happens.

Need to clear something out: i posted about the reappearance of the thread before it was accidentaly deleted in mod's forum, i had absolutely no clue about what would finally happen and i just thought it was only a matter of time until it was moved back to the public forum. You may or you may not believe that, but that's the way it happened.

In my last post, i didn't say that THE SAME thread would reappear as it was since i knew it was already gone, what i said was that we wouldn't ''bury'' a thread that was about someone's problem with Greg and eatmetal. That in case you were implying that one of us was trying to cover any of eatmetal's possible faults, that will never happen neither with eatmetal nor with any other label, if anyone has a problem he can tell us how the back story is and open a thread about any issues he may have with any label/distro/dealer. Hope that's understood.

Either way, a little patience wouldn't harm. Believe it or not we exchanged more than 30 posts in the mod's forum in less than an hour trying to sort things out as soon as possible. Unfortunately we couldn't resurface daniel initial thread, but as you can see a very similar one has already been opened and its main point is the same as the one's that was deleted.

Sheesh sorry for being away for a few hours;

Anyway as stated before my only experience with Eat Metal was fine, no problems at all, also another dude I know got his stuff without troubles. He seems to be slow at times but reliable. I couldnt really think of him being a rip off, as he seems to have a decent reputation overall. I hope he will get back to you...

Replying to e-mails is something he's not very good at. But my EMR orders, though a bit slow, always arrived.

I have never done anything with EMR
So I have NO PROBLEM
