Hey, I'm Lushbob. Some of you may remember me from such months as December, January, and February.
So yeah, some of you guys will remember me. I kind of, unexpectedly disappeared. Schoolwork was really catching up with me, and it still is! I've got massively important exams starting in two weeks that last for the next two months, but after that I'm really going to try and become an active member of this community again.
I love cards, and I realise that I can still show a huge interest in them while refraining from buying any. See, I bought the David Blaine Variety Box for $150 (and then some more for international postage), and it never turned up. It's past the time that I can reclaim the money through PayPal, and the DB shop aren't replying to any of my emails either. That's when I realised that I'd blown £100+ on nothing. So, I cut down my spending so much that cards were totally out of the picture. And then I stopped checking AetherCards to stop tempting myself, and after I hadn't been on for a while it was really hard to start again. But I'm going to make an effort, and it'll be my summer holidays so I should have a lot of time to kill.
Wow. That was longer than I expected. Basically, I won't be collecting cards as much as I used to, but in a few weeks I hope you'll all see me back on here and more active.
Oh, and I'll be breaking my no-buying rule in the case of the Seasons decks. ;)
Peace out!

Why didnt you just claim the money back? and did you give them the right address? But Welcome back!!
-
Well, I gave them a certain amount of time to wait for international shipping, and then once I thought it was enough, I emailed them and allowed a certain amount of time for them to reply before sending another, and by the time I realised they weren't ever going to reply, it was past the claim-back period. And I definitely gave them the right address.
But thanks, it's nice to be back!

Hey, I'm sorry that the DB people aren't getting back in touch with you. Have you tried in writing?
I just left an email with a contact there. I'll get back to you.

Hey, I'm glad you will be back here, no matter how regularly. Many members tend to come and disappear, then later, hopefully, reappear. I'm sorry to hear about the DB VB loss. Hope it gets solved!
PS: Don, I just realized you just crossed the 4,000 line. Congrats!

i have sent them 3 email before they never reply any of those

They are considered to have the best customer service so that seems weird. They may forget to reply to 1 email, but as long as they are polite, it's kinda weird they skipped 3.

@LushBob Never give them time after the re-claim period because as what happened to you will happen give them up to a week before the re-claim period end and if you don't get a reply by then, claim it back...

Thanks, Don. I would have tried to contact them in writing, but I can't find an address on the website. If you have it, then it would help a lot.

I've had no word yet. They do sometimes spend days out of the office when traveling on business...

I'm really sorry to hear about you experience with DB. I hope they get back to you as soon as possible. I don't think its very professional of them. I mean its not like it was a small purchase. its a big thing. But oh well.
So anyway, welcome back. We'll do our best to not "TEMPT" you too much on cards. ^-^
