I have been waiting since May 2015. Deposit paid and now September 2016 ! Nope nothing.
When was your tail ordered ?
Why dont they allow you a refund in your deposit. It's hard to go else where when they have your money
March 2014Quote:

I've just read through this forum and it breaks my heart for you Mermaidhunter! :(
I understand that rush orders and priority customers can push things back, along with circumstances; however at this point as a business I would be doing at least weekly updates to those customers who have been waiting unusually long.
A simple update of "hey we got a little painting done" or "Sorry, we didn't make any progress this week" would be kind and polite.
I hope you hear something soon and get more frequent updates.
Well I am in no rush again as the swimming and photo-shoot season is kinda over with up here :(
Skipped a month....... 32 months and counting.........
Thats just too long :thumbdown:
I know it's a bit to wait, but I can promise you guys that they're working extremely long and hard on all of your tails. They love their business way too much to jeopardize their reputation by not following through on an order. The whole reason they worked extra to bring out their Mythic line was to be able to provide tails to people in a timely manner. They're still working on their current clients for sure. I'm not 100% on their process or what kind of tail detail you're wanting to get done, but they do take an extremely long time to create. Especially if they have a lot of clients, I could imagine the wait time to be a bit long. Hang in there! I'm sure you'll get it soon enough! :)
Mermaid Hunter - not long till you hit the three year mark. That's surely got to be a record...
Have you had any explanation as to what's gone wrong?

I have heard that it was complete and ready to start painting.
I have heard that they wanted to recast some fins because their technique has improved.
I have heard that others have seen it and it is nearly complete...........
I don't remember if this was brought up, but would the size still fit you from the measurements you gave?
Well I did send updated measurements a year after my payment but nothing since.
I have checked my measurements recently and so far I am stil good within a half inch or so.
Merry Christmas, month 33.......... :cry:
Have they added you to basecamp? They posted an end of the year update about their goals for next year. So hopefully you'll hear something back within the next two months since you ordered yours before the date they posted.
This may sound stupid, but have you emailed them recently? I know with the holidays it may take a while, but it's just a ridiculous long wait time =/
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and Happy all the other Holidays
I really hope you hear something back. <3
No, not added to basecamp.
We "talked" about a month ago and they were aiming for before Christmas........... nothingsince.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy Hanukkah to you as well.....
Finfolk just announced they are hiring more crew. Hopefully this will shorten production time.

***** HAPPY ANNIVERSARY *****
:cheerleader::cheerleader::cheerleader::cheerleade r::cheerleader:
Today marks my 36 month/3 year anniversary of placing my order. :jawdrop:
To date, no word, no pics, no update..... zip, zilch, nada, zero.
While others have placed their orders months, if not years after mine and have received them..... I am still waiting and waiting and waiting.
The last update was back in November 2016 and was told that they had to completely redo the body - all new scales, all new body piece, all individually re-done and that there was some concern about silicone age and paint adhering properly, and they had issues with how some of their former assistants assembled my first body.
So.......... THE WAIT CONTINUES!!!!
:rotfl::rotfl::cheerleader::cheerleader::cheerlead er::rotfl::rotfl:
^that sucks man :(

the wait sucks but knowing the issues with former assistants I think it's probably better to have it remadeQuote:

You know I was talking to finfolk recently specifically about your tail, and my friend Marlas. And in both cases through no fault of really theirs (in your case an assistant who had ill intentions, and in marla's case some circumstances) both your tails basically had to be remade from scratch after hers being done and yours almost done (after first trying to salvage what was initially done). Which is a cost they end up eating both time and money. There's a reason so many of these tail makers end up not using assistants; because no one can do quite what they do. I think they've lost any money they would of made from either of you in the remaking of the tails, so certainly not a scam or anything (not that you said that, just that I know people will read and wonder). In any case I know you're both at the very top of the silicone list so I am sure you'll be hearing soon. Cuz I asked them about it specifically (on behalf of my friend Marla) and there's no one else before either of you. Hopefully you'll get it soon and we'll all be amazed!
Hmmm.... I always hear from the girls after I make a post. Coincidence??? :thinks:
Anyways they have said it will be done by the end of the month..... April 1st? :jester:
We'll be watching.......:eyepop:
well no actually, It only seems like a coincidence because I figure it's not my business to post these things until they're brought up ;) I talked to them about a week and a half ago about Marla, and brought you up as well at the same time.
I can't wait to see how your tail turns out :)
Well, end of the month.... no tail, no pics, no word. :cry:
The countdown to month 37 has begun.......
I have to wonder about that quote seeing that I have not seen/heard anything concerning my tail (being done by the end of March) and the fact that I have seen at least three other tails being finished and packed up to ship on Instagram........ :thinks::thinks::thinks:Quote:

Have you messaged them again recently about the tail or are you only posting here? I'd say message them and specifically ask for proof photos of atleast some work done on your tail.
I messaged them once, but heard nothing..... going to message them again now.
Yes I know it was.... and actually, in-spite of writing them directly, the only time I do get a response is when I do make a fuss on here.
Yes, I know you asked on your own accord about mine.... just saying, if there was no one else ahead of Marla and mine....
Sorry, but this is starting to get beyond frustrating with me, especially when one sees other's tail getting done in half the time and I am hitting 37 months now and have put off 3 photoshoots. I don't even know if it will now fit.... things change in three years and I only supplied a measurement update over a year and a half ago when they asked as they were about to start.
I'll give this til the end of May and if nothing, I'll just cut my lose. :cry:
Like sands through the hourglass......so comes month 37........ and no pics or reply.
Onward to month 38!!! EXCELSIOR!!!!
Are you emailing them? The only time I get a response back is via Facebook, maybe try messaging them there?Quote:

We'll be watching.... :biting nails:
I understand the big silicone tail makers have so many orders and people to talk to and tails to make, and that's why things take so long, but reading things like this makes me feel a lot better about being a few weeks behind on production because it's the end of the semester. Hopefully they'll pull through with the pictures!
Zip, zilch, nada.... :thumbdown:Quote:
