Hey!
Here's another angry customer of oliver.
I'm from germany and have been a quiet making-the-perfect-spidey-suit thread reader for a long time now already. when i saw ovdh's costume and realized he's from germany i decided to buy one. so after getting in contact with him i drove to worms (about 3-4hours away from my town) on the 11th July 2007 to give him the first 1000€ and let him take my measurements. he promised me to have the suit finished by end of august / beginning of september and also said that he might drive to my city to visit a friend of him, so he can give it to me personally. you all can imagine the rest of the story, after trying to call him and reach him for several times he finally got in contact with me around beginning november promising me another time that the costume will be send out very soon. because he delayed it so often already, i decided to drive there again and take the costume personally. 11th of November i arrived at his house in the afternoon and when i saw the costume on the mannequin it looked really great, but it also looked like he had just finished it some minutes ago. ok i gave him the remaining €1000and then i put the costume on and he already told me something about some costumes he made in the past that had problems with the webbing. ofcourse after putting it on there were some parts of the webbing broken and he had to glue them. after glueing them he told me to see and try if the webbing breaks again - and if it does i should send it back to him so he can replace the complete webbing.
After my 3-4hour travel back home i took the costume out of the box again and without even putting it on again i had to realize there were at least 10 parts of the webbing completely broken again. i called him the next day and told him, so he said i should send the costume back and he will replace the webbing. I was already a little unpatient and mistrustful so i asked him to do it within 1 week please. he said he will need 2 weeks, but after 2 weeks it will be finished for sure.
ok on 11th of november i sent out the costume to him, 2 days later he confirmed that it arrived at his place.
after 2 weeks he started delaying me again, he started writing a wierd message in ICQ about the complete costume needing to be replaced, but it was really wierd, i couldnt really understand it. anyway the message also said that he will drive to my city on 7th december and bring the costume.
on 7th / 8th december, when i tried to call him several times to ask whats up with my costume and he didnt answer, he wrote a mobile message to my cellphone saying sth. like he wont drive to my city but he will send out the costume in 2 days.
3 days later i tried to call him again several times, no answer, so i sent him a message to his cellphone telling him to give me the costume's package tracking number.... no answer. tried to call him again the next days, no answer - so i sent him a message that if the costume is not at my door the 29th december, i want my money back...
and guess what? im still waiting for a contact sign, no answer, no message, no nothing from him.
i wanted to avoid this, but right after christmas i will contact my lawyer to sort this out... i'm really p*ssed about ollie, i even tried to hook him up with a job in my city when i started having contact to him, because he said sth. like he wanted to move here - i was really nice to him.
so anyone who already has a broken OVDH costume, you better think twice before you send it back to him!!
anyone else have had contact to him the last week?
