Korean people like to put things off till pretty much the last minute or until you annoy the hell out of them. Being Korean I have felt both ends of this characteristic unfortunately. But I'm working as fast as possible, and I plan to have something to make it up for the constant delays for the customers this time around.

this explains many things

It's unfortunate how this went. k0re seems to be quite complacent about the delay in the arrival of the merchandise, and his business will suffer immensely. I would guarantee if he showed he was hounding customs, CJ Entus, etc. he would get a huge amount of return customers. To my surprise, the opposite is happening and I'm sure many of his customers will never return.

He definetly doesn't update as much as he should....I understand delays but this is ridiculous. Also, a new team was suppose to be ready to buy from, that didnt happen. I understand things dont always go as planned, but that is why you dont rush business. Even if the store reopens, i doubt i will buy anything.

I am so glad I was able to obtain my sweatshirt from wefanshop instead. not only did i get it in a week, it was cheaper.

Until I see the actual CJ stuff I'll wait before I buy the KT merch... Too skeptical atm. This has me nervous too with $500 into it.

I can't see many people using this service again frankly, I don't even mind the delays but the lack of reports as to why and how this occured is terrible.

I didn't even order anything and I'm nervous for you guys...I was planning on buying when KT and SKT1 came up for order, but this lack of communication with the customers is making me consider otherwise.

I'm still waiting to see how this ends up before I consider buying anything.

I didn't order anything here, but is it 3 months now? I'm pretty sure it's taken longer (5-6 months-ish) when I've gotten stuff from tlnet/susie/etc. Usually just forget about it and get a nice surprise eventually

Yeah, but with lilsusie, she at least keeps you updated and tells you why things are delayed. I'm only hoping those are the same reasons with this. Been around 3 months and haven't received anything yet.

Edit: Well looking around some more, looks like I can understand a bit more why it's delayed so much.

Yes seriously. Is this a scam or what? Should we call Canadian customs to see if they're actually processing anything like this? The website doesn't need to be fully functional at this moment based off what k0re has said, but I think he needs to have updates at least every week on the very front page about what's going on and how he's helping things move forward. Maybe embed a youtube video update on the front page of starcraft mecca for the update every week.

The communication was fine at first but once it passed the original June arrival date, k0re needs to kick it into gear and do everything he can to communicate with us.

Perhaps there was more to it when paypal wasn't letting k0re access the payments? Maybe it got red flagged as a likely scam or something.

And last I heard he had the merchandise at his home/business. Someone requested pictures of all the merchandise because they wanted to see what 700 orders of CJ gear looked like. In my mind that would go a long way in authenticating this whole thing.

Edit:
I looked at the SCMecca forum and found k0re posted these images. This is the merch still in korea

Still, I trust the guy to a certain extent because he does seem to have his heart in the right place but that can be deceiving and he's a guy on the Internet so what can I know. But then again I'm kind of a pessimist and it's one of my bigger flaws I guess =P

As for the pictures, It's a closed box and a box with a jacket on top and it's hard to see what else there is in the box. If there's 700 orders, the pictures could easily show more stuff so while the pictures do go a long way, I still can't wait to have the stuff in my house ^^

I was hoping to have a look at the store. The message sais it went down June 21st. Initially I was gung ho, checking back every day or so. I had forgotten about it by this point.
