Not to start drama (as I can't be sure who browses these forums), but Mertailor is really dragging their feet with my tail and I'm really starting to regret ordering from them. :/
I was so excited to receive it but now that they keep pushing the ship date back, it's turning into too much of a headache.
Usually, that's not a good sign.Originally Posted by Meronica
What kind of tail did you order from him?

I know. :/ It seems like whenever he decides to randomly take forever on certain people's orders, they end up having other issues in construction, and since it's obvious that they have yet to even start on my tail, I wish I could just get my money back and order from someone else.
I ordered a silicone-neoprene as my first commercial tail.
How long have you been waiting since you ordered? I know there is a 90 day waiting list before he even gets started on tails. Have you tried to contact him?
I have been contacting them periodically for updates and given vague responses, which was fine but the website gives a production time estimate of 5-10 weeks, and today they told me that it should be ready by mid-November, which will be around 11-12 weeks from the order date.
Maybe it's just because I'm a bit strict with deadlines in my personal life, but I'm a little annoyed that they can find time to update their Facebook page a few times a day and continue to actively seek new orders without getting their current ones out on time.
I understand your frustration, however 12 weeks is typically the waiting time -like I said before- BEFORE they get to work on your tail. At least, for full silicone it is (I know, I have one!) A receiving date of mid November sounds about like you've waited the usual time.
It's not unusual for companies to update on social media several time a day. It's good marketing, generates interest and let's their customer base know that they are active. To be fair it only takes a few seconds to snap a photo and upload it so they are probably working their butts off in actual fact. There's nothing wrong with that.
I am I certain that your tail will be wonderful when you get it!
Personally, if they didn't even start on your tail at this time, I would ask a refund. Especially if all I was getting was vagues responses, clichés excuses and all.. I'm just saying. If the tail isn't even started, you should be able to get your money back since nothing has been spent for it yet.

I'd check and see how long the other mertaylors are taking before pulling your order if your next in line. If she's made them in the past and proven they can make tails to your expectations. She may just be going slow, maybe shes just burned out and needs a break.
Another Mertaylor, another 4 months.
I may grow old, but I'll never grow up.
It really upsets dull people!
I am tired so effing tired of giving a damn about so much. I wish I could change it and grow a callous over my heart.
I'm sorry. (hug)

So its early in the morning and I am already fuming. See, my mother and I were planning a trip to this really cool place to take my sister trick or treating for Halloween. Now all of a sudden she tells me this morning that instead, my aunt (who is my age, 20) is going to have her "male friend" drive us to the place and me and my sister, who is 6 btw, will just go with them and im like hold the hell on:
1.) First of all I am NOT interested in being the third wheel to someones date.
2.) My aunt is literally one of the most horrid people you could meet. Especially toward my sister. She once pulled her face underneath the water in pool when my sister was THREE with my sister yelling and screaming for her to stop. She ran inside the house when a friggin pitbull ran in the yard and locked the door, leaving my sister outside with the dog. And she has said on multiple occasions that since my sister is not her child, its not her job to protect her or look out for her. The only reason she wants to take my sister with her is so she can look like a saint with the idiot guy who is taking her.
3.) I had other plans I decided to not go through with to be with my family on this day. I can easily NOT go with them but I refuse to allow my sister to be alone with my idiot aunt. So I am going to suggest to my mother that my sister come with me and my friends to this other place we are going to have a ton of Halloween fun which is appropriate for my sister, but I know my mother will say no because believe it or not, she sees me as the irresponsible one. Has much as I have done for my sister, as much as I have protected her and looked out for her, and how overprotective I am of her, she sees her sister, my aunt, as the responsible one. And that fucking grinds my gears because my whole fucking life its like I have been living in her shadow when I have always been nicer, kinder, more polite, gotten better grades, and just all around a better person than her who has always been the inappropriate and rude sort of person who disrecpects her parents and everyone else. But suddnelyy she is queen saint of the world and I am friggin hades..
It is too fucking early for this shit. I have way too much on my mind and way too much on my plate and I honestly cannot with this right now. I refuse to hand my sister over that imbecile and her idiot date. Sorry If I am the one coming off as rude, but you guys really have no idea how much this is effecting me.
Grrrrr!
Well, I hope you can rise above all this annoyance and make Halloween the best it can be for your sister, despite the obstacles you have to overcome. Good luck!

Firstly I think you and your sister are adopted, explains everything. Why involve your aunt at all your 20, time to start exerting yourself.
You could be respectful to Mom and at the same time pass on the aunt thing. If you don't have a car arrange with your friends and tell them what's going on for the support. This would work better if Mom knows one of them. Have them tell your Mom there's no room for the Aunt and her Boy friend!
Have you considered Mermaid Cinderella?

Its not about me making other plans to do other things, that's simple. The issue is that I will not have my sister go anywhere with her alone. If I go out with friends, I am sure my mother wouldn't allow me to take my sister with me, but she woud allow my aunt to take her. Which is complete and utter crap. I plan to have a nice long talk with her about it.
My hope was your friends also had simular age kids and together your mom would understand. Good luck.

Grah! I ordered some cupcake and marshmallow supplies to make halloween cupcakes and when I finished my order I noted them that it was alright to leave it at one of my neighbours. The problem is now that the seller forgot to mention that to the delivery man and now I got a 'not at home' note and I will get my stuff tomorrow after 4pm... It's not like I can just make 210 cupcakes in 8 hours and make the marshmallow toppings too
Your imagination is your only limit
You should at least get your shipping costs back! That's not okay!
TW: sexual assault
I HATE the fact that I live in a town where I'm left with basically two options if I'm trying to walk home once it's dark (as it's now darker earlier):
- Walk down the sea front, battling crowds the whole 45 min walk, and triggering my social anxiety.
- Walk down the quieter backstreets and stand a very real risk of getting sexually assaulted as too many young women have been dragged down the alleyways and raped.
There are other options but they are just as bas: Trams down the seafront which are packed like sardine cans (social anxiety big no-no) and that's if you manage to get on before they are too full, and then have to battle your way off at your stop or busses which are packed and take even longer than walking because of the dense traffic, and taxis that cost a lot and still get stuck in the same traffic as the busses.
In the end when I was left with this whole dilema I just walked down the promenade (sea front, also known as 'the prom') and tried to dodge my way through the crowds as fast as I could but when you end up with families suddenly stopping infront of you and people almost forcing you to walk on the road etc it wasn't a nice experience to say the least. I only get my anxiety in dense busy crowds, like a bit of claustrophobia. So people suddenly stopping infront or trapping me in or forcing me into dangerous situations is so triggering for me >_<
Could you afford getting yourself a coffee, tea - beer at one of the hotel restaurants, just avoid the Pleasure Beach park area? I think that would be too stressful when your tired.
I worked for a short time in a downtown with that kind of commuting issue. I'd stop and have a beer at a pub where the people density was the worst. It would allow the stress and anxiety of the day pass while sitting, watching them struggle to get around.
It helps.

I'd picked up a hot choc from Starbucks to drink while I walked (I don't drink alcohol and hate drunk people so bars are a no-go lol), which helped a bit but I live on the same street as the pleasure beach entrance right now X_x So I can't avoid it or the tourists. And the crazy busy crowds and traffic last until about 9pm before they start to ease off before the lights switch off =( So I'd be waiting for far too long sadly.
At least the season ends November 9th X_x which is right when I start my new job in town (Body Shop!Maternity Cover until Feb but better than nothing) so not much longer to deal with it. We're living/renting this house til about april so hopefully we'll be outta here before the main season picks up again.
Was just a horrible situation to be in, since the illuminations started I've just avoided town at weekends and got stuff done in the week when the kids are in school, but as it's half term (and scottish half term the two weeks prior) it's been crazy busy during the week too. I only went to pick up a damn parcel from the post office and pay a cheque in at the bank ;_;
