(11/?) I asked Joe if we could buy the unfinished work in order to bring it to a local cobbler to see if we could wrap it up and have *something*, no matter how trivial, to show for the 6 months we were involved…and they wouldn’t allow it.
And…so…another 5 weeks after requesting a refund, I finally get a check in the mail. Only…5 minutes after receiving it, I got a text from Joe: “can’t make this stuff up, they had already issued a second check and sent via certified mail and stopped payment on the first check so you should see the new check in a day or 2…”
Another week…the check finally arrives. So…a quick timeline of my experience with ‘dream factory’ @garrixonstudio
- August 2nd, 2021: I reach out to them for a 1 of 1 project
- September 3rd, 2021: I sign a service agreement and pay $3k THE SAME DAY for a sample sneaker to be finished within 6 to 8 weeks.
- January 3rd, 2022: With nothing delivered whatsoever, I ask for my money back.
- January 10th, 2022: they show me pics of an unfinished, unassembled sample to try to keep me on board. I agree to it as long as they can stick to some timing commitments. They reject my proposal.
- February 15, 2022: I get my money back.
The funny part is…the guy who initially told me about Garrixon went through pretty much the EXACT SAME experience as I did. During the same time period. And he told me he spoke to some folks who also go through Garrixon and there were at least 5 or 6 other companies that he knew of that went through the same experience…
I’m disappointed because when I say I’m going to do something, I do it. And in this particular case, I made my plans public and wasn’t able to deliver. So. I figure…maybe I can do something else…
Anyway…anyone want some Bored Ape sneaker cards?
