What would you do?


Here's the deal. At the of of this past November I ordered a couple of things from a site called workingclassstreetwear.com. Since that time I've received no communication from them. By the time I thought of reporting it to paypal, I was two days past the 45-day deadline. I've sent a number of emails to the addresses they have listed on their site, as well as leaving a few messages at the phone number they listed. I haven't gotten a single reply. I want my money or the shit I ordered, but I'm out of ideas. At what point do you give up and call it a loss?

i looked up the registration info for the domain name and there was nothing listed there that wasn't on their site...which is unusual.

registration for WorkingClassfortheWorkingClass.org was done through a privacy company, so you can't see who actually registered the domain.


personally, i'd write like every other week until i got a response. level headed and fair. guilt 'em! i don;t think screaming is gonna convince anyone to respond.





If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

If you want to get hard line then there are consumer protection agencies you can report them to. It's not really a matter of them just not delivering the material; it's actually wire and mail fraud. You really could stick it to them if you wanted to. On the one hand, they're probably a small business and it will hurt them but, on the other hand, they're ripping you off.

I think the most annoying fact is that it is a site with product geared towards the working class and what do they do? Fuck over the working class people that order from them!

I was gonna do a "whois" but BD beat me to it.

Nevermind, decided to WhoIs search anyways...

Here is what I found and how I know this is them:

http://austin.citysearch.com/profile/35674765/austin_tx/this...

Thistleboy Streetwear
Seamus McDonald
(512) 452-2923
2525 W Anderson Ln Ste 455
Austin, TX 78757

My steps:

Did a domain WhoIs search at godaddy.com



Org name: Thistleboy

I searched the listed phone number in google and found the Thistleboy CitySearch.com listing.

Thanks Monty! I thought they were in Arizona, just because they say they're opening a place there. :puzzled: The phone number you have there is the same one listed on the site, but it's good to have the guys full name. On the sight they list Seamus, but no last name. Might have to look into that site Mark posted.

Thanks guys!:thumbup:

Me & my guitarist were talking about the whole Skinhead/Working Class ethic of wearing "designer" labels,that aint cheap,and then crying about being downtrodden. Then,it dawned on me. Pissing away your money on crap you really don't need is probably the most Working Class ethos there is.

I don't think they have an actual storefront anymore. I used to stop by that shop pretty regularly when I was still in Austin and the guy was always cool with me, but I've heard over the years that a lot of folks have had trouble with his mail order. I seem to remember a big mess on skinheads.net a few years back about it. Damn, haven't been on there in forever. Anyway, he always had top quality stuff in his shop and the best prices too, it's a shame if he's not taking the mail order side seriously or something.

Decided to go with Mark's suggestion. Fuck them if they don't like it.

Thanks again Monty, as I needed most of that info to file my claim.

No problem!

And yes, FUCK THEM! It's not like you filed claim without trying to contact them. You tried, they hide. Fuck that.
