Record store day 2018

[IRONFLAME]

More than half a year and no records neither a refund! they never reply to emails or via their online chat system. I will now file an online complaint on the duch police's website. can't believe these guys trying to rip me off 138 euros! 🤬

@IRONFLAME can you email? darren at sigur-ros.co.uk

hello @darren,

i emailed you on november 29th, hope you got my email. i had included proofs of paypment, receipts, chat transcripts/screenshots, etc.

those guys at northendhaarlem.nl seem to think that fraud is a funny game. they are mocking me for having "ran to the record company and complain to them", which of course i didn't do. however i think that what you suggested (involving the record company) indeed seems to be the only solution to finally getting my money back. 138€ ain't no peanuts for me :⁠/

have xl suggested anything how to proceed, after you forwarded my email/documents to them?

thanks a lot & happy new year!

[darren]

argh thanks for the reminder! will get back to you tmrw!

wow those guys are a piece of work. Pretty unbelievable.
As stated above - I contested the charges (two of them I had) as fraud with the bank my credit card belongs to and the bank refunded my money without question.
I'm sorry they were so obnoxious to you.

I wish I had paid with my CC too, but unfortunately I used Paypal, and when I contacted them in autumn they said too much time had passed to intervene. I just wonder how Visa e.g. can help you even after almost two years but Paypal can't (after only seven months) ...

I am sorry to hear. I am also surprised. I didnt know Paypal had such limits to their guarantees. I was under the impression it was more protected. I wish you luck getting your money back!

[breakbeat]

Paypal is I think 180 days (I got mine back from PayPal pretty sharpish once I realised this was a scam).

Might be worth contacting the RSD people and reporting them, maybe they wont find it so funny if they're banned from taking part in future

Still I'm surprised by all this. North End Harlem never replied to my email, but then later on I read on their website they don't do emails, and the day I contacted them over Live Chat, I got response immediately and three days later my money was back on my account. all smoothly, friendly, nicely, no-problemy.
