went to a tailor like in September to get a like x7 Lulu t shirts tailored. They were literally brand new; never wore out because they were too long and baggy and I wanted them to be tailored to my body or whatever.
cost about $60 each so that’s like $420 on shirts and I paid $180 in advance for the tailoring.
Mans didn’t even take my measurements; just eyeballed it on one shirt and said he’d have it ready in a week or so. Assured me that if I didn’t like it he’d fix it.
Took like 2 weeks I try it on and it was absolutely skin tight and unwearable. Like took me about 5min just to put them on/take them off.
It’s been a back and forth process; he removed some stitching and was still too tight. At this point I asked him to remove the extra stitching entirely and just make it as it was originally.
Fixed again and it’s still too tight, and there is still extra stitching.
At this point I’m out like $600. It’s also been almost 3 months since I first came to him.

Sometimes there are obvious clues that you should never ignore. Its the same with women.

It might be an interesting lesson to try to claim in the small courts.
I think too many people complain but take no action. I once took action against Ikea and got over $1000 in compensation, and that was just for late delivery, not defective products. The compensation exceed the value of the purchase.
The key to claims is written evidence. Trying to rely on spoken words, oral contracts - this is a waste of time.
The way I got money out of Ikea was that I had a receipt which showed that they said that they would deliver on a certain date, and they didn't. I also had a print out of many many emails, which showed that they had wasted my time. I then included an invoice to another client, to prove what I charge per day. I then proved that they had wasted half a day of my time, which costs me x. So they owe me x.
Crucially, the thing that created their liability is their receipt - it shows that I paid x and that they would deliver on Y date. The receipt did not say 'We'll TRY to deliver on day Y' it said that they would deliver on day Y. That is what caused the liability.
So..... my lesson from that escapade is this;
If you try and sue, you will probably learn a few lessons about commerce = the primacy of paperwork and contracts being your first lesson.

And you still patroned his services?
He's shit at his job but this gamble is on you man. You would be better off buying new ones than suing.

I’m fuckin pissed bruh
Vermillion-Rx Admin 2y ago
Yeah i get that but you're not only gonna shell out court fees, but if you lose you'll be even more pissed and even if you win you'll still need to find another tailor
Next time don't let noobs eyeball your valuables before working on them

Meh I mean worst case I’m out another $100 (cost of filing) and best case I’m comped for new shirts plus get my money back

I mean you could try asking the tailor for a refund and if you really feel inclined, sue
financehardo420 2y ago
It wouldn’t be as big of a deal to me if they were old worn up shirts but those bitches were brand frickin new lmao

Not worth the trouble imo, I would politely ask for a refund and if he doesn't comply I'd just leave a bad review Just chalk it up as a learning experience
financehardo420 2y ago
He’s also made me wait 3 months bro lmaoo

I think suing someone over clothes isn’t the move. Pretty sure that’s not how Romanians handle things
financehardo420 2y ago
Lmao so I’m supposed to be chill w having paid someone $180 to ruin my clothes and have to spend ab another half a rack just to replace said clothes?
Idkkk dawg sounds like damages to personal property and services not rendered to me

Also sounds like something a pussy faggot corporate husk American that has never been hit in the face would say; you’re better than this.
From what you’ve said about yourself I gather this isn’t the last $600 bucks you’ll see in your life. Definitely ask for a refund; I know that you can’t give him a smack in this country, so just let this be a learning experience about who to give your business to.
