Well, I still have not received anything from FOR, and Alex has not responded to my last two requests for a status update.
Order was placed in mid November, so he has had PLENTY of time to produce, and ship my gear.

I really hate to think the worst of people, especially from the "old country", but Alex has had more chances than I normally give anyone, and he has dropped, or stolen the ball EVERY TIME, so as far as I am concerned, he is out of the game!

I finally got a response from Alex today. He has had my money for four months now, and has just informed me, that he hasn't even started production on my uniform.
WTF is he waiting for?

Dang man! What did u say in response? I'd be getting my money back regardless. He doesn't offer refunds. He just offers to "make it right", at some point. Of course, since you can't get the stuff in the first place, what is the point of getting it again? Boridin |

I'm glad I will be staying away from him.

I merely advise caution!

On the anniversary of the fifth month, that I made the payment to Alex, at FOR for three items, I sent him an e-mail asking for a status update.
The response I got in return was. Well, the parcel hasn't come back, so you should get it any day now.
Give me a break, how long am I supposed to wait?

Tovarisch Boyesh;
Well, the order finally arrived. Unfortunately, none of it is correct. I ordered three items, and none of the items I ordered were shipped. What was shipped was, A: the wrong style, B: the wrong color, and C: the wrong size.
It was also over three months late, from what he promised as a delivery date.
Honestly, I am so angry at this vendor that I will never deal with him again!

Tovarischi,
Thanks for keeping us posted!!!!
This is very disappointing and from what I am hearing is becoming more and the more the case with Alex.
A couple of years back he did great with orders and also threw in extra little goodies to sweeten the deal.
I wonder what the heck is going on with him?
Sincerely,
Dima

Tovarisch Boyesh;
Interestingly, the postal cancellation shows that this parcel was shipped on 06 April, 2010.
So, in other words, Alexey lied to me multiple times when he told me that the parcel had been shipped back in December, 2009.

I'm guessing: he got in trouble for some of those goodies (like Russian Cigs.) there is some sort of translation issue with him or some of his employees (English to Russian) and/ or he don't really care anymore because he's so busy, he'll take a hit once in a while by ticking off a customer?  That's my guess? Too Bad. I was almost tempted by some of the items on his web-site, but have been reading and hearing to many stories like what has been posted. DaahVeed  |

I had a reenactor in Russia telling me that he rips people off there as well, so I don't think it's a translation issue, I just think he's a [blank}.
