Man that sucks. I've never had a problem with the neostore
but then again I'm in the USA and purchased smaller $ items.

If it's due to that World Of Warcraft game then I can see
how he has lost touch with everything else. I played it
for about a month and threw it in the trash since it
wasn't worth the 15 a month for the crap service, but
I know of many people "including my wife to a small
extent" who have fallen victom to WOW Addition "aka
ADD from reality(tm.)".

At least she is quiet while I play my xbox and ng now. :cool:

Anyhow... sorry to hear about your story but I'm sure
theres something else going on, that just isn't Shawn.

Maybe we should have a official sticky thread on this?

Sticky this? I dont see it happening. I do see bobak posting and calling everyone liars again though. These things will never get sorted out because unless you are on the giving end (buyers) then you have no reason to care. I guess the truth comes out huh?

Another legit order and I hope these things get resolved really quick.

@Shawn

Sir, you're better than that don't let these people down. Some are loyal customers who have hundreds of dollars out already others are new customers who were drawn by your good reputation(Don't throw that away). A simple reply would really help a lot.

Thanks.

It really doesn't matter how many people have had great transactions in the past and how many have great ones even today. The fact still stands that alot of people are paying for products they never reiceve or, if they recieve them, have to wait several months to get. Simply unacceptable and I can't see how it's defendable.

I hope you get your game Harry.

the trend is pretty clear by this point.

if you have an unconfirmed address, your stuff won't go out. fix that promptly and inform the neo store and you should be a-ok.

as far as not returning emails, no clue there.

To tell you the truth, when a buyer f's up with a deal with me I just ignore them, too (I guess it's different if I actually had their money and chose to ignore them). If the rules are laid out there's no need for the seller to repeat himself. If the buyer can't follow the correct instructions I find it's best to hault the transaction there unless I want something worse to happen.

There's a trend with all the complaints coming from Europe. Unconfirmed addresses seem a common thread.

I don't know what to tell you.

I'm not calling anyone a liar ('cept for int3ns3), but I'm waiting with less venom than the rest of you.

So we have Harry Hazard and RXBANDIT claiming problems.

Okay, we'll see what happens.

I thought after so many posts people should know "Unconfirmed address" = NO NO? :rolleyes:

And you expect Shawn to ship out game to unconfirmed address overseas?
You'd better give Shawn a legit address in order to solve this problem....

Most non-US addresses cannot be confirmed.

Those details are detailed here:

http://www.neostore.com/store/international.html

Also described are optional payment methods.
Quoted for emphasis (so hopefully nobody will just cruise past that link and further feign ignorance):
Neo Store said:
When using an overseas credit or debit card:
To prevent a delay or cancellation of your order, you must enter the correct billing address that is on file with the credit card that you use. If possible, it is best to use an American Express card when ordering from overseas. In most cases, this card will pass our system's AVS check (Address Verification System).

If you are ordering from Great Britain & Northern Ireland, your card should pass the AVS check without problem, as long as you entered the correct billing address. In this case, no delay should be expected.

Most other countries will not pass the AVS check. This is mainly because your credit card company is not on record with merchant services within the western world yet. In such an event, you will promoted to provide us with proof of credit card ownership. This is accomplished by faxing or emailing scans of the front and back of your credit card along with your matching identification card. A scanner or a digital camera is required for this process. Once you have successfully completed this required process, you can use the same credit card for future orders without delay.

Well, when I bought from Neostore before all this trouble began, I used PayPal with an unconfirmed adress and I'm from Sweden like Harry is and I got my items within 10 days. Besides if there's a problem with the adress you let the customer know, at least that's what I would have done if I ran a store, which of course I don't.

Contacting someone if there was an issue would be the key idea. But then again, the world is flat and maybe europe really doesn't exist. Hence the unconfirmed address. :cool:

hey

initially there were probs with my order however since i have rectified the address situation as requested by shawn so now my billing address is the same as my shipping address yet ive recieved no correspondence from shawn. I paid using the shopping cart facility on the site via debit card. I provided as requested contact details of my bank in order that shawn can verify if need be. Again i have had no correspondence and these requests were made after the money for the order was taken out of my account. The money should only come out once all this is sorted and shawn knows he can definately deliver on the goods and/or service NOT before.

Well you followed everthing to the letter and your item should be with you already.

If there were additional requirements then you should have been informed. All these guys need is just some sort of communication.

You and the others who are being legit about this have every right to bitch. Just ignore the people who want you to smile and cheer up since its Shawn, they are VERY overprotective of him and forgive him like they would their own flesh and blood. Its all pretty mindless.

Just thought i'd add a lil 'controversy' to this thread - sorry to rock the boat so to speak but i MADE FULL PAYMENT today (well my girlfriend did - with an unconfirmed address) but at least you all know i had the funds available eh!

Guess what the really interesting thing is - SHAWN ACTUALLY REFUNDED MY MONEY because he is not covered by Paypal Seller Protection!! I'm in shock myself must admit!!

At least you know i wasn't messing him around now - and for the record yes Shawn can quote his policy all he likes how does that excuse him from taking people's money up front?

Bobak, any problem may arise in any deal, but such a lack of communication from any of the two side is INACCEPTABLE, don't you honestly think?

6 months is 6 months. :rolleyes:
