I have my birthday coming up, July 6th, going out with my friends on what i’ve advertised as a fancy dress night, I have my pack, i have my boots, i have my black gloves…however…i ordered a Krezeman costume on May 13th waaaaay before reading that he was a scammer and its looking like i won’t be getting my costume for the 4th which i can’t tell you how gutting it feels. WHOA, like creepy, i mean, just as i was writing this, JUST as I was typing, a message from ebay pops up telling me it will ship tomorrow from him, albiet after threatening to report him to ebay and paypal if he doesn’t reply in the next 24 hours, 15 mins later a reply. The message is as follows
Hi
I was out of town for the last few days, picking up the last pieces of the Ghostbusters costume, I ran out of some parts to finish and had to go out to Los Angeles, I only sat down to do email about 20 minutes ago, I did not have access to email while I was away. I said I was trying to finish all the Ghostbusters costumes. and all the ones needed for the US release of the Ghostbusters game and BluRay disc were finished,
Your Ghostbusters costume is shipping tomorrow. The processing/construction time is 6-8 weeks as posted in the listing, I am not at the end of the promised time. I believe you told me you needed it for the July 4th weekend and you will have it by then
I have made 15 of these in the last month and a half, as well as 45 Dharma Suits and hundreds of patches. I make everything by myself and I am working very hard and as fast as possible, without sacrificing quality, on everyone’s costumes and all of them are being completed and shipped in the order received.
I’m still quite dubious about this,after reading about him in the feedback forum and how it took one guy a year to recieve his costume, I have a feeling i’ll be doing a mad scramble to make a ■■■■■■ version of a costume.
Thanks kingpin, you’d think he’d have the smarts to not list more items and costumes until he’s got his previous orders sorted, but when he’s earning 200 bucks of one, he probably likes the cash flow…
i really hope so to because despite everything, from what i’ve seen, its not a half bad costume, i’ll want to upgrade in time but i’d be happy as a clam with it IF i get it. If not, well… gonna have to go down the Khaki shirt, khaki tracksuit bottoms or commando pants and printed off noghost logo and name tag…
It’s sad because he didn’t use to be such a bad guy. I love his products, but I’m always afraid to order stuff from him since he started becoming unreliable. Hopefully, he comes through for you, his work is pretty good.
Well on thursday he sent me the shipping info, international priority, saying electronic shipping information recieved. I just gotta cross my fingers now that it will arrive in time, got a week
From start to finish if his patches are done when he starts it takes 1 hour to dye the suit,20 mins to dye the leg hose,3 mins to paint a leg fitting,30mins to sew patches on,30min to dye elbow pads,His belt circuts are a leather holster painted black a cheap chircut board with auto maker light bulbs glued to it and the coil cable cliped on no small circut what so ever!His key chains are from the dollar tree as well as his black rubber gloves.White pistol belt dyed only takes 15 mins.For what he charges for these suits is a major rip off with 20 mins of research on this site and many others like it you can build the costume yourself and be much more correct for half the money.You can do the whole suit in less then 3 hours if you have all the parts!If I were you id just get my money back!!!
That probably may be the case, but there are elements of the costume that i’ll be able to reuse on a better one, i mean, the patches for a start, leg hose and attachment and the pistol belt and its clips. I’ll probably use the gizmo holder but opt to make a more screen accurate one as time goes on. I’ll be happy enough though to wear it as is when it arrives for my night out, i’ve got some grey RIT dye for the pads too.
if there’s one part of the costume i dont have any qualms of saying “tough you got suckered” its the uniform. its like the bare bones easiest thing to do yourself.
Seriously? Any pics of this? I’ve never seen them at my local Dollar Tree stores, so I’m interested in seeing how accurate his are in comparison to the wallet chain clips I got at Hot Topic.
I got my suit from him. It took 3 and a half months. Longer then he said at the start.
I love the overall fit and the patches just wish the jumpsuit was not so dark. He got back to most of my emails and I’m going to post pics and a intro as soon as I have more gear to show off.
Yes you will get your suit but its longer wait and just about when you get ticked bam a tracking number shows up.
Well did u recieve your flightsuit Bob & if so how does it look?
I was tempted to buy one a couple of years back from him for my very first suit but after reading all the bad feedback i decided against it, one question i do have though about those of u who have got a suit from him is which suit is it, would it be to much to ask if its the proper Nomex suit??
I see your from Manchester Bob, what part as im from Salford? Nice see more UK busters from the local areas
No, it didn’t arrive on time, although it has taken a while to get here, i can’t really blame Joe, he did ship it well over a week ago, i’ve followed the status on the USPS website, its here in this country… just i think that its probably in customs or something like that. When i do get it, which i’m guessing is gonna be sometime during the week, i’ll make sure to post pictures. From what i’ve read the suits are Rothco, i’ve heard they’re not the greatest, but i’m sure it’ll keep me happy. I think before halloween i’ll upgrade to a Nomex, seems like most guys here have them.
I’m from Oldham, Greater Manchester, not that far away at all, its great to see there’s other Ghostbusters in Manchester
Well checked status today, its in customs so either tomorrow or day after i’m thinking. I live in Bardsley, halfway between Ashton and Oldham, I went oldham 6th Form.
