Phil the Thrill

Maple Leafs MICs. Both were Rinat Valiev's pre seasons from 2017-2018 worn for about a whooping 14 minutes each. Jerseys are spotless and will eventually become a Tavares (the white) and a Matthews (the blue).

Domestic here isn’t good either depending on the route it takes. Had another one take two and a half week that was a 30 minute drive from me.

Sold one to a guy that sat 17 days at US customs from Canada. Could be a bit

Ew

I’ve been saying, they look suspiciously like something that would be on a Retail jersey. I don’t think Adidas ships stuff to teams with Retail looking tags. But who knows.

I think I’ve seen it mentioned Keener can do the Bruins. You’re safest going that route.

He's definitely not a people person for sure.

Yeah he's told me that. He does what the league gives, but then team customizer's deviate.

I mean, overall, you used to know what you were going to get with each. EPS - Obviously terrific quality and perfect for teams they do on ice for/unique nameplates/numbers. However they have their methods and are sticking to those, whether if it's how all teams actually do (i.e. back in the EDGE days when the Flyers didn't use EDGE material for their nameplates or him calling the Predators old customizer's work as being a "high school art project"). As long as you don't question this, you are fine. Keener - Guy advertised himself as a collector as well and listening to his customers to replicate exactly what is done on ice (deviates from standards if you ask). I just feel like he's moved away from this by limiting customer instructions, but that's my POV. Like I get it from a business perspective, but it's just more of an EPS approach.Others may disagree.

Sorry, to clarify - I’ve never personally had an issue with EPS. More so meant Josh isn’t the world’s friendliest person.

Man if you wanted that positive feedback, you should have gone to the distribution centre and expedited the process. jokes aside, it’s the worst when people don’t understand you don’t have control over shipping/customs. At least both my buyers have understood.

Yeah I think it’s just Mississauga and then I heard Burnaby is bad. I ordered something from Ottawa and took 2 days. So just pray your stuff doesn’t coming from the GTA.

Even still, certain plants are awful. The Mississauga plant here had a COVID outbreak. I shipped something that hasn’t moved in 2 weeks.

You’d think. Canada Post is incredibly slow right now and then IS customs sat on it for 3 weeks. I’m done shipping until COVID is done

Jersey was delivered to building beside so all is safe now. Took a whooping month to arrive from Toronto to Chicago.

Those Caps are probably in my top 5 favourite jerseys in the league. Such a clean look.

Well hopefully it’s just that then. Worst case scenario I’ll offer a bit back to him, but can’t do it all since I’m also out a jersey (and would never accuse him but for all I know he does have it).

Nope didn’t insure. Don’t think it would have matter though since it shows as delivered so Post Office could easily turn around and say “it was delivered. Not our responsibility”

Thanks guys. It was actually on Facebook, not eBay. I feel bad for the guy, but I’m also out a jersey (an expensive one at that). Kind of hard for me to just refund him.

Lives in an apartment and apparently has community pick up area for the mail. Package was dropped off at 1pm today and he went down at 6pm and wasn’t there. He’s calling local post office/checking with building beside but not much I can do. Says delivered.

Has anyone ever had a package that the tracking says delivered however when the buyer went to grab the package from their porch/mailbox/mail pick up, it wasn't there? How'd you settle it? I'm worried I might be in this position with someone I sold to.

Yeah that's awesome. I'm a huge Ward fan so great pick up.

I mean I have a 52 Marner that can be made into Matthews. But I think you’ve mentioned you like to replicate on ice size

46. Which is a bummer since there is a lot of great stuff here.

Which is fair that they don't want to be bombarded with information. I think us including what we do is more for our own sanity, but it still gives comfort knowing we are including exact specifications (i.e. nameplate material, layered vs. kit, reference shots). My example for the Leafs is how closely he cuts the nameplates to the letters. He goes right up against the letters although the Leafs in reality leave a healthy amount of space on each side. Unless someone points that out, he's just going to continue to do it in the incorrect manner (or for me just ignore altogether). I guess it is just more he annoyed me his attitude was that he doesn't need the help, even tho I know myself and others have received stuff from him with errors. It reminded me of something Josh at EPS would say.
