So, the asshole bimbo at eBay who “sold” me the Corpse Bride wig and took my money has yet to ship it. Despite indicating that she has 41 in stock, she actually has none. DO NOT BUY FROM THE EBAY STORE B.SOMEBODY.
Had I looked at the assholebimbo’s profile, I wouldn’t have bought from there. They have 21 negative feedbacks from the last 12 months AND they keep them private so you can’t see people complaining about their shitty service.
[added 8/27: the chick did refund my money today. Guess it’s better than yet another negative feedback. :-/ ]
I’ve put out a couple of emails to other online costumers who claim to have the wig in stock and the first one who responds with YES will get an order. I also have a backup plan of getting a plain purple wig from Junkman’s Daughter and using that. [edit 8/26: no one has them. I’ll be using a JD wig fer sure.]
Fucking eBay. I HATE it. Why do I even use it? I’m far too impatient to wait for the stinking auction, then wait for the frelling shipping. BAH! When I shop, I want it NOW. Not 2 weeks from now.
At least the corset has shipped and will get here first of next week. Yay! I can’t make the skirt until the corset gets here. Who knew there were so many freaking shades of WHITE? Oy!
I’ve got the makeup lined up for noon Saturday, so if all goes well (ahem, yah, right!) I’ll be in full Corpse Bride drag by 2pm Saturday. Look for me roaming the Hyatt on Saturday!
Oh, what corset did you get?
And remember.. The first rule of Ebay is that we don’t talk about ebay… The second is to always check out that feedback rating before you bid. :(
Sorry, couldn’t resist the first one.
Yah, yah, I know. Ebay sucks, it’s always sucked and I know better than to get into a shopping frenzy on ebay.
Ebay is chock full of people who are a) immature, b) clueless and c) inconsiderate. I know this. Unfortunately, eBay is also chock full of every conceivable type of thing you could ever want, soooo, I end up there occasionally. I should’ve been more careful. :-/
Ebay is not the place for impatient girls to shop!
The corset is white, natch, with some doohickeys on it and, most importantly, has the requisite sweetheart neckline.
The corset transaction went perfectly and the corset has already been shipped. I have to wait for it in order to match the fabric for the skirt that I’ll make next week. :-)
