Custom maker refused my business

[WiriWiri]

I agree with Bico, but I also have a sneaking suspicion that the bladesmith in question wouldn’t be too regretful he didn‘t respond to the OP‘s email(s) if he read this thread.

Oh well. I do remember that JNS didn‘t ship to the UK at some point recently. I took that as a clear indication that Maxim hated the English and our ludicrous lying blubberblob of a PM. And promptly resolved to buy more fingerstones from him next time

Sounds like A) default shipping options with whatever e-commerce site blocking your country/region and B) doesn't sound like the maker wants to make an effort to communicate (busy, health reasons, *******/culero, who knows).

I agree with and have nothing to add to the above comments, so I am posting to say that I agree with and have nothing to add to the above comments. #NoF*ingAround #RealTalk #TellItLikeItIs.

I agree...

Thanks for adding some more insight. I did make some assumptions on my own, one of them was wrongly equating being anti-israel with being anti-semitic. If I read into his original post too much and drew conclusions he didn't intend to be drawn, then I do apologize.

I do feel some of the comments were harsh. OP came to the forum to vent a bit (probably not anticipating he would be called out) because he was feeling excluded. Some choose to respond to him harshly here, which probably has made him feel unwelcome and to some degree excluded from participating on this forum. Why add to his pain? IMO there are better ways to help someone gain more perspective or broaden their understanding.

Unless posts were erased, I didn’t see any responses that were overly harsh - more-so opinions where there was no emotion involved. The OP made it sound like the maker directly blocked the sale post purchase. The screenshot shows a message at checkout, before the sale even went through. As others said, the makers likely doesn’t moonlight as a web developer.

As to why the maker didn’t respond, there is only one side we are getting here - they supposedly had built rapport. I’m only surmising but with the emotion, editorial and assumptions attached to the original post, for all we know the maker knew what he would be getting into if he even tried to explain himself. Or the maker is a prick, but I’m going to assume there are some missing pieces we’ll never know.

TL;DR: you chatted with someone on the internet, didn’t work out, find peace.

Who is the maker? It’s not like you are putting him on blast. No one really is upset about him not shipping there. It’s not like it’s going to negatively affect him. But I am curious to see.

yeah name names!!

that being said, some makers are simply a bunch of cumguzzling twatwaffles, and you just have to accept that. #metwat

Sometimes customers are also twatwaffles and they should look inward and accept that (I don’t feel one way or another about OP). Frankly I hope he doesn’t name the maker because we have hurt feelings, conjecture and no evidence that there was any nefarious intent.

 

[inferno]

customers have the right to be twatwaffles, since they are the ones paying.

its better for everyone if we name names of course. so this can be brought up to light. for future transparency.
and i'm kinda curious.

OP dodged a bullet.

Don’t let him say that about you op. But really, I would like to know the maker you desired this much to start this thread. Living in the USA, it is pretty easy to get a lot of knives shipped. Being in an area where maybe it’s not so easy, I’m sure could be frustrating.

 

[Bico Doce]

I don’t think OP has looked at his own thread since he posted it. He’s already moved on

OP dodged a bullet.

I suspect the maker dodged one...

 

[IsoJ]

Rule: customer is always wrong and maker is right. If the maker doesn't get it(agree to make/sell and behaves too nicely)then it is customer's responsibility to use such insults etc to make it happen. Now customer can spend the leftover money with custco"steel" and whisky.

Not related to OP.

Interesting. Last seen on the site 8 mins after he created the thread.
