    Does this company still exist?

    Someone was asking on facebook if this company still exists. Apparently their website hasnt been updated in 2 years. Facebook hasnt been updated since August 2014 https://www.facebook.com/mermagica?fref=ts

    If they arne't active it may be time to take em out of the list! Anyone buy from them lately???

    The reviews on their Facebook page— yikes! Looks like they disappeared off the face of the planet and took a bunch of customers' money with them.

    That's... Not good.

    might as well ask the mers from TX that are nearby to check what's going on with that company.

    Wow, those reviews are pretty bad. I just sent them a message on facebook and via email. Anthony, let me know if they reply to you. Raina, thank for pointing this out.

    They replied to the message Malinghi sent out saying they're still making and shipping tails, so they're still in business

    Their FB page gives Denton, TX as their location.

    It's a curious thing that both their FB and Website are not updated.

    So does anyone have a personal contact to the folks who run this company? Just to clear more things up.

    Thats what I was thinking! Mermagica and Magictail.de were the only well known mermaid tail makers to young mertubers!

    I own 2 tails from mermagica.When I ordered my first one in August 2014, it took almost a month for it to show up on my doorstep. I repeatedly emailed and called them, asking why it was taking so long, but no respone. In my last message to them, I angrily threatened them with a lawsuit if they didn't send me my tail in due course. I'm ashamed to admit I also used a few f-bombs, but then again, this was my first tail and I was very frusterated with the serious lack of customer service. I still didn't recieve a response, so I reached out to Mermaid Marla. I had seen her in a Mermagica ad featuring a new type of tail they were debuting, so I decied to take a shot in the dark. Thanks be to the Goddess above, Marla responded and was glad to help me. She told me that the company had changed ownership recently to the oringinal owner's brother, who is a pilot and isn't home too often. When I ordered my second skin in October 2014, it arrived in the time quoted on their website. I think my messages and Marla's messages finnaly reached them. But honestly, They seriously need to do a MAJOR overhaul of their customer service department.

    I ordered recently actually... about 5-6 days ago... the money has been taken but no delivery details have been sent to me. I should have checked the facebook reviews first cause now i'm quite anxious that it wont come. silly me. Ill wait a few days more to see if I get anything.. if not, Ill be using a diy tail out of leggings to swim in for the 20th of january as well as my spare monofin. I'm wondering if this company is still going still actually considering the facebook page hasnt been updated.

    Be super wary of MerTailor tails listed on eBay... Some are alright, but a lot of the time they're put there because there's something really messed up with the tail that Eric refuses to fix. Bad monofins, falling apart, flaking paint, etc. Most resellers getting rid of 'em for those reasons will at least mention the issues in the description, but it can still be nasty business.

    Yes I completely agree...
    Unfortunately Mertailor's tails on eBay have a very strange story each time.
    I still remember what happened on the forum almost two years ago with that black and yellow tail that at the end has been purchased by some girls.
