ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL 2016 THREAD - (NO LC PICS PLEASE!)

[thegatorviking]

Shipping anything of value with USPS is a nightmare. Fed Ex or go home.

 

[picasso swerve]

you'll probably be ok in a 10.5. they fit a shade bigger than 350s but ignore anybody saying to size down or get a 10 etc if the TD you have are too small. it's a myth that adidas Yeezys run big both models run small as sh*t.

Idk about small as **** but half size down woudnt be bad, especially if you like a snugger fit.

IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO FIND A DEADSTOCK OG ULTRABOOST SIZE 10.5 AND HAD TO PAY $450 TO ACQUIRE. DONT THINK THOSE SUB $350 PRICES ARE VALID ANYMORE FOR DEADSTOCK PAIRS.

The price you paid isnt an attest to what their value is, but the terrible deal you got. NO ONE should be dropping over $300 for those, only suckas.

I posted this in the GOAT APP thread, but I also think you guys should be aware of this since many of you use or plan on using GOAT. 

I have been selling on GOAT for a few months now and decided 3 weeks ago to make a purchase on it. I decided to buy a pair of Yeezy 750 TB. The whole transaction process went smoothly. Seller shipped and the yeezys got authenticated. Normally, GOAT ships with 2 day priority and from my past experiences with USPS, it usually takes that time for the package to get to its destination. GOAT shipped it out on a Friday, but tracking never updated again until the following Weds. At first, I did not see as an issue, but when I received the yeezys, things took the turn for the worst.

It was raining the day it was delivered, so I immediately signed for the package and went inside to open it up. I noticed that the packaging was a bit sloppy with the tape work. I opened it up and took out the shoe box and when I opened the box, there was nothing inside it. 

I immediately opened up the app and went to "my orders" and reported an issue it since I did not receive my yeezys. GOATs automated email service sent me and email saying that they would contact me immediately. I did not get any contact for 4 hours so, I called up USPS and my credit card company to file claims. I called the number that GOAT has for "customer service" and its actually an answering machine telling you to send an email. During those 4 hours I sent a few emails with an pictures and details of the packaging. When they got back to me later at night, they said that is not the way they package it and that they will do an investigation. 

I went online to look for GOAT purchasing reviews to see the packaging and I found this video. 



My package looked nothing like that. After inspecting my box, I realized that somebody opened it up from the bottom and re-taped it with some clear-ish duct tape. You can actually see the brown tape through the new tape and it has been opened. 

After a few days passed, I got an email from GOAT saying that they will speak to their USPS rep. The claim I filed with USPS got closed within a couple days, but I got my initial request of the actual price of the yeezys declined and was only given $100. I spoke to a customer service rep and with my USPS branch manager since I had to ship something out that day and they both said, although my purchase was $1,xxx, GOAT only took the insurance from the signature confirmation which is $100. Bc of that USPS closed my case and decided to pay me out $100. 

Since I did got any contact again from GOAT, I called my credit card company to follow up on my claim. They contacted GOAT, but never got a response, so after a week of waiting they decided to override the charge on my card and get my money back to me. 

Although I got my money back, I think it is just ridiculous what happened and there were red flags that people should be aware of. 

- Customer Service is pretty lacking

- They don't insure the package of the actual $ amount

I know a lot of ppl have been saying that GOAT and StockX is the safest way to go, but I just want to let them know that things like this can happen and it is not completely 100% safe. They do provide great platforms for selling, but anything can happen like my situation. 

This is why I need to start making purchases with a credit card

[9th Wonder]

jms630 Size 9 Triple Black from GOAT?

 

[pg62]

I need it. Fakes are everywhere. However, right now, its easy to spot the fakes from legit pairs - per my limited research. In the next month or so that may not be the case.

So true specially for 350s...  Are there even GG fakes already?
