I would like to share my experience to you.
I ordered my tail from eric at may 8th. I filled in the email with my sizes. I didnīt know if he would like to have the measurements straight down to the feet or with the roundnesses.
I asked him via email and get no answer, so i sent him both measurements with a mark that the first is straight and the second is with the roundnesses. Hope you understand what I mean.
After a few week the tail was at my home. I must say it was only the tail the shell bra not included.
The tail was green(i ordered purple) and much to short. I tried it and it he the lengh until the half of my back ;-)
The other problem was the design. I wanted one with a sewed end. The green tail had a lot of holes and was made with glue.
That was absolutely not what Iīve ordered.
I send emails.
He said the holes must be there that the water can flow and things like that.
I thought....hmmm ok probably it fits better in water ( in my diving dress it is the same). But no way, too short.
I dried the tail and send him back.
A few days later he proposed me to change the faults at this tail.
He wanted to repair the green tail!!!
In september i wanted to go in holidays at the beach(we have no beach here at all)
He said that it would be here til that week.
2 weeks before we go away i asked him about the tail again.
he said he would send it next tuesday. I said that he had said it would be there at the exacting time and if he could send it express way.
He said he could but i should pay 200$ for express shipping.
It was his fault and I should always pay the shipping.
ok i went to holidays without the tail.
After two weeks back in germany, the tail still wasnīt there.
Then he told me that it isnīt finished yet!!!
He always said next tuesday and nothing happend.
Then he didnīt answer my mails at all.
He got a new email adress and didnīt say anything.
I told his mermaid model melissa about my story.
Then came a mail that I shouldnīt terrorize his friends...
I choosed to take me an attorney of law. I ased that man what to do, and we would wrote a letter.
Than the right tail was coming. In january!
Just without the bra.
A lot of weeks and a lot of mails later, the bra was send, too. I think it was in march.
He has no idea of woman bra sizes.
I tried that thing ( looked totally not like on the photo) and it was over 10 centimeters too short.
i ased my mother try it, she has a model body. she is very slim but have just a little breast...
How should I even wear it??http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/devil.gif ( i have selled it on ebay, but it was not easy to find a buyer without a breast...)
I would never do that again..http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

what?! Holy cow I am so sorry! :( :( :( You got a green tail when you ordered purple, it has holes in it (mine certainly doesn't have any holes in it) and your bra should have came with your tail. This is getting ridiculous! I can't believe all these bad reports! I am so sorry :( :( I know the feeling of having a tail that is too short all too well!

that is absolutely horrible and he called you childish? Clearly his focus isnt on his tails anymore. This is really really really horrible. Is he even doing this work himself or outsourcing or what? Ugh this is just so awful. I think you should post it everywhere.

He said the holes are burned with fire...
I donīt understand that...
The next tail I will make will have holes too but not like that. I had fear that will break apart while swimming:-/

not holes like that! I took your advice Jesse and cut my holes really close to the tip and went over them with paint again. They certainly don't need to be that giant

There are burn holes in my mertailor tail. I wrote him and complained about it but he said that's how he makes them. I said he should warn people because his pictures do not show that.

This still isn't resolved? When I called him earlier this year about my tail when I was having issues he actually started talking about these forums in a negative way saying all people do is write bad things on these forums and talked about the customer in Austria that was upset...I had to stop him I was like Whoah! First, I like the forums bc they generally give honest reviews, second the forum helped me cuz as soon as I posted my experience he got right on the problem and started fixing it and third..I don't wanna hear about someone else's problems, let's talk about MINE. Then it got resolved. My tail does have burn holes in them, one right on my butt. I just took my tail to a highly regarded seamstress in Nashville (they are not cheap at all)! And they are not only taking in my tail at least 4 inches around, but trimming the top and using the extra fabric to patch in his holes. The lady last week when she observed my tail and remarked on the holes I said "oh he means to do that, it came with those holes for better water flow" totally standing up for Eric but she shook her head and said "no one ever means to do this honey" "this is ugly" and then tsk'ed tsk'ed as she critiqued the problems that I made up excuses for bc I love the tails and I want to like the maker of those tails and be on his good side. I will upload pix once it is finished. I hope your issue is resolved!

Granted the color thing should be corrected and i understand the holes in the fluke but also keep in mind that latex is hard to work with especially when used for the applications your using it for the reason he has to burn the bottoms is to seal it (which is hard to do) he'd have to be able to tastefully seal it in 10 seconds before it hardens again latex is touchy stuff and would be difficult to set together. my mother was a seamstress and she wouldn't even go near latex as a material for sewing the latex could tear or bunch up improperly if someone doesn't know how to handle it. also the waist has to be bigger to fit over your thighs if they cut the opening to fit your waist you'd risk tearing each time it passes the largest part of your thighs remember he has to take into account every measurement that opening hits before your waist. and if you read his bio he's someone who been doing this only a few years and may make mistakes (which i do agree should be repaired or fixed) and at the same time you have to understand he's just one man. he has tried improving on his methods on how to make the tails seamless and perfect but again it's difficult with the materials he uses I'm not saying let him off the hook if your unhappy but I'm just saying cut him some slack he's trying and sometimes there will be small problems it doesn't matter how good you are at something your going to make mistakes once in a while.
