@imzwho

Of course not. The Fuku was killed off May 2015.

@Enigma they are not AA: They are Next Level brand

@Enigma
Specs
Next Level brand
100% cotton
Two arm holes, one neck hole, and a couple of buttholes in the forum

@Enigma Next Level. From my experience, they run a bit smaller than AA, but they’re also softer.

@mikibell Thanks mikibell.

@coleafiory very light and comfy, but my nips show a lot

@coleafiory I love those tri-blends. So very soft.

@fuzzmanmatt What they did is took one picture and then used a computer to change the color of the shirts just like they do with blankets notice how they are always the same even the creases? Because they take one picture then color in the rest of them using Photoshop

@AiraCobra right, so you never know what the actual color will be

@fuzzmanmatt Oh don’t be silly, we all know what’s really going on. Clearly the description is lying and these shirts actually ARE eight different colors at the same time.

@ruouttaurmind There are a couple of nominees in the first few comments.

@bleedmichigan I was thinking the same thing. My shirt has not shipped ever.

@bleedmichigan

It makes sense that those didn’t ship.

They have to get printed first.

That’s why they’re estimated to be delivered late December.

@mflassy Yeah I know it says for my order December 12 through the 18th. Estimated.

@lakertaylor13 yeah no way my Meh shirt will make it by the 12th shipping smart post.

@mehcuda67 And they still forgot to list the big hole at the bottom! Those dummies!

⬆

@awk True! BTW, loved your topology analysis on the last t-shirt sale. Just saw it tonight trying to figure out who all the buttholes are

@djslack I noticed that. Seems sketchy… Will they ever offer huge sizes on their new site?

@djslack @medz We need XXXLT, but they even took away the XXXL.

/giphy sad

@medz if these next level shirts run smaller than AA, then I need the “Omar the Tent-maker” option to be offered.

@joelmw Just wait, as you get older you will sag and shrink.

@RogerWilco Now THAT would go like a Fuko!

@wmbarr very unlikely. Probably just enough time to list sold out to roll into the next day.

@wmbarr I have been told that my clock is always a little off.

@candiedisilvio1 Me too.

@2many2no Got one!

@huntd I didn’t either! And I didn’t click ANY of the meh buttons!

@mflassy Of course I did! I’m good like that.

@ruouttaurmind

Dark chocolate in a women’s small?

@mflassy No, I really don’t think I could sport that look. Also, all earth tones are specifically excluded from my wardrobe. Bad tan experience as a child.

@ruouttaurmind

So you DIDN’T order one for me?

@mflassy This is not accurate. I didn’t order one for both of us!

@ruouttaurmind

Ok. I’ll rephrase it.

Did you or did you not order a women’s small dark chocolate t-shirt to be benefited from by @mflassy?

@mflassy

dark chocolate t-shirt to be benefited from by @mflassy?

Ok, I do love the confidence here.

Do you really feel the shirt will benefit from your form? If so, how can I decline such an assertive request!

@ruouttaurmind

Who or what wouldn’t benefit from my form?

I mean, you could get a lawyer to read it, but it’s mostly gibberish anyways.

@mflassy No disrespect intended in my response. I apologize if it was interpreted as such. Begging your pardon. Truly.

@ruouttaurmind

@narfcake and these were listed as the first they printed themselves as well… so ya know… you missed out on a tshirt that may well be worth $10.15 , to collectors like yourself, in 20 years.

@thismyusername More like 0.10 to 0.15!

One thing I do wonder (@dave?) is whether there’s sufficient blanks in stock. Some of my recent shirts from TT have been on Canvas blanks instead of Next Level. That usually only happens when there’s not enough blanks in stock.

@narfcake Oh shit! Dude! I totally dropped the ball on this one. I can send you a make-your-own kit! Just furnish the blank.

@therealjrn Thanks for the offer, but it’ll be unnecessary. I mean, it wasn’t like I missed a catshirt or something.

@sammydog01 One thousand purple stars to you.

@cinoclav The quality of the workmanship of this shirt is about as meh as it can get.

@Barney Agreed. Apparently Next Level meant down, not up. Unimpressive shirts, even less impressive printing, and least impressive effort at getting the color correct. Wonder if I’m the only one whose color they screwed up.

@Barney The response was ultra meh. After sending in this same picture to CS, this is what I got back:

Thanks for sending the picture and so sorry about the mixup! We no
longer have the shirt available to send a replacement. Would you be
alright with keeping the shirt received with a 10% refund applied back
to the order?Let us know if that is ok and we will get it done!

My answer?

Umm, no.

As if it’s not bad enough the shirt is the wrong color, the printing is crooked. Why would I want to pay 90% for a defective item? That’s honestly insulting. I think after 142 orders from meh, you would be happy to just write this one off and I’ll donate it to someone less fortunate. Maybe I can find someone with one leg shorter than the other so the logo looks straight…

@cinoclav Uh-oh…it sounds like meh is using the same CS as woot.
Pro tip: Take 30 seconds to read and comprehend the problem before offering a resolution. Often times, this will prevent 2-3 follow-up emails that you’ll spend even more time on.

@medz Having once been a CS supervisor for a large e-commerce company, I couldn’t begin to agree with you more. These were the kind of situations I would use as an example for the rest of the team.

@cinoclav It looks like you got screwed and tattooed. I hope your new tattoo is on straight and is the correct color.

Seriously, this is rotten customer service. I wonder which rep was having a bad day? I’d ask to speak to a different customer rep.

Let us know what happens.

@Barney I’m willing to throw it out there. It was signed by Reine.

@cinoclav haha wow.
Hey we know we sent you something you didn’t order but how about you keep it and we give you a whole $1 off.

@cinoclav If they printed them to order returning it or a discount are probably the only options. Did you make a counter offer? Try 50% back maybe? Unless you hate it so much you won’t wear it, then I guess you could return it. Sucks either way. I would have thought your VMP would help out.

@sammydog01 Yes, my counter offer was basically what I said above. Write it off and I’ll donate it to someone who could use it a lot more than myself. We often donate clothing to a few places around here where people are in need. Someone would likely be thrilled to actually get a shirt that’s new for once.

Honestly, if it were printed correctly I would consider some sort of reasonable offer. But that’s the real kicker to me - not that the color was wrong but it’s basically defective. I know it’s not that easy to see in the picture but in person it’s immediately noticeable.

@cinoclav First, sorry you got a crappy print on the wrong color. That sucks. I think there was some confusion on our end about the photo you sent, but, just like you said you would, I actually just reviewed it with everyone on the team. No excuses, you deserved a better response. Anyway, we’ll make it right. Thanks for calling it out. Be on the lookout for a response.

That said, uh…can I have the bad shirt?

@ChadP Thanks for following up with everyone. I think because of my own job history, it’s possible that poor customer service responses bother me more than they should. Or maybe not enough, knowing what I know. Regardless, if you want to send a return label, the shirt is yours. Though it was likely going to be donated here, where they could probably use it a little more: https://www.shelterlistings.org/details/36280/

@cinoclav Definitely the better option.

@cinoclav - You definitely deserve a replacement or total refund 'cause it wasn’t as ordered, but I gotta say I think the shirt is funny. Printing “meh” off-kilter kind of emphasizes the definition of the word, don’t you think?

Unless one has OCD, then it’s probably torture.

@KDemo I thought about that too. There’s definitely a subtle irony to it. I’m certainly not OCD but looking at the print misaligned (on this or anyone’s shirt) simply makes me think, “someone really didn’t give a shit about doing their job well.” Ah well, they made it right and credited the order back to me. I’ll make it right in return and donate it to someone in need.

@cinoclav Sell it to @chadp for shipping? Donations don’t always end up "to someone in need."

One of the local thrift store here sells “rag bags” for $2-3, aka shirts that didn’t sell within a few weeks. I would say that about a quarter are in very good to new/unworn and less than a fifth are truly in “rag” condition. And yes, a few of my woot shirt finds were from such a rag bag.

I picture chadp yelling at the CS team while pounding his fists on a table/desk/

@narfcake It’s not like donating it to a big conglomeration like Goodwill. I could literally stop there and ask any of a dozen (quite obviously homeless) people standing around outside if they would like whatever I have in hand. Bags of clothes are most definitely apportioned properly among those in need.

@cinoclav Great to know!

Around here, some thrift stores operated by FOR PROFIT entities, which makes me more watchful where my donations end up. The way they work is that items are donated to a non-profit organization, and they issue the receipts. In turn, they “sell” it by the pound to the for-profit operator. It’s shady – and has certainly made me more watchful about where my items go to.

@narfcake I’m somewhat familiar with the problems with a lot of these organizations. There’s a Goodwill close by but I won’t donate to them. The shelter I mentioned above is part of the Community Action Agency in my county. They do good things.
http://www.caadc.org/index.php?/about/content/v1/history_of_our_agency/

@ChadP Bet he’d send it to you if you sent a prepaid envelope… just sayin’

@narfcake That’s very common around here too. Almost all of those “Donate your used clothing here” bins say on them in small print “This is not a tax-deductible donation, this donation bin is operated by a for-profit corporation.”

Welcome to America. Even charity can be for profit.

@Collin1000 Yep.
http://www.invw.org/2015/10/28/the-thrift-store-chain-that-dressed-up-like-a-charity-and-got-sued/

@ChadP So, was it your doing that I received a delivery from mediocre with a replacement shirt? To you, or whoever was kind enough to do so, thank you! That was so totally unnecessary after having credited back the other shirt. Also a bit odd since the CS reply originally stated there were no more of that color. Regardless, you all once again have proven how awesome you are.
/giphy big thanks

@cinoclav It came out of @ChadP’s dresser drawer.

@sammydog01 That’s better than his laundry hamper.

@cinoclav Glad it made it. It was a bit of luck that we were able to get one made. Even adjusted to print for centering.

@ChadP I considered getting out the ruler just to make sure. Thanks again!
