Would you believe it, it didn't get lost in transit! Here it is, a year 3 months later after  being told it would originally be finished and shipped out late January of 2021. I'll give it one thing, I though it was gonna be smaller, but that's fine.

This is now considered resolved.

Finally getting somewhere. Was notified a few hours ago that my order is now being shipped.

Reminder that original shipment time was supposedly the end of January 2021, then pushed back to the week after May 14th, 2021.

yellow is the tracking number.

Looks like it was shipped out 01/25/2022

I'm not considering this as resolved until I have my physical item in my hand, till then I just have to wait.

On the psa I made about her on toyhouse, someone had pointed out that it seemed evident that she did not read my note at all. That it was most likely just opened to make it seem like she actually read it. They think this is the case because she doesn't state anywhere about the tracking or shipping I requested, along with how she still believes I'm going to pay more for shipping.

- "if there are no problems with that extra cost I can calculate it to be able to make the shipment" <- the last line of the first paragraph

You can clearly see that in the note I sent her on November 12th it explicitly stated that I'm fine with paying extra for INSURANCE and TRACKING, but not willing to pay extra for shipping. 

I did shoot her a message again last night about how I have 0 control over anything at this point, not realizing that she never talked about the insurance or tracking. And as of today, 12/31/2021 I have gotten a response and I had also sent out a reply back to her asking about the note and expressing that I'm not paying extra for shipping, only insurance and tracking.

This person really contradicted themselves with their own payment fee, which is just baffling to begin with.

- "If I was to do this character I would charge an extra $20"

- "The complexity fee covers things for the tiny details on the character, such as the markings, the spike on the tail, the tail details, and the feet!"

-"Page dolls are simplified in the markings because of how small they are."

If the page dolls are simplified for the markings, then why did he have you pay extra for them?? That doesn't make any sense, this piece doesn't live up to the quality that was represented in his page doll examples. I can clearly see open ended lines and lines that should have been erased/trimmed. Not only that, but even after the 'fixes', there were more fixes to be made! I wouldn't consider this to be a finished product at all and to be honest with you, if I were you I would file a charge back as the product isn't as described. Even after the fixes.

I decided to try and send a message to her the other night,(12/19/2021), saying that I had been trying to get a hold of her since November and to please read my notes before responding to me. My notes have been read finally and I received a message back from her. She's saying that she had been waiting for me to respond to her note from August 26th, but at that time there really wasn't anything I could even say just because I have no control over when the package gets sent out. She never got the notifications on the note I sent her in November up until I decided to text her on her Twitter. So I'm assuming she probably gets deviantart notifications about notes in her inbox? I'm not sure why she didn't check to see if there was any communication on Deviantart even without getting any notifications if she had the whole email thing set up for notes. 

She's also saying that the postal service isn't allowing her to send my package now, showing me that it's wrapped up and I guess ready to go.

I have yet to respond because I'm still trying to figure out the words to use so I don't sound like a dick. And honestly, I don't know how to respond, if the postal service isn't letting her ship my package then what else could I even say to her.

I guess this might relate to here, but after months of inactivity from angiefluflu I have learned that she has now recently posted on her twitter. Her latest post is December 20th so she's starting to become active again..? She has still yet to open my notes on deviantart yet however, so I just wanted to update on her recent activity since she seemed to just stop posting on her socials til now.

Issue has been resolved with a full refund from the artist.

Although she has refunded me, this has left me with a bad scar and I have been very skeptical with buying art from artists now. 

I'm planning to call paypals help center with this case on Friday, since im pretty sure they're not going to be taking calls on a holiday. I also believe I payed using my bank number instead of using my card. So if things don't work out I can contact my bank on Monday or Sunday.

When I made an attempted to file a charge back yesterday during the later hours, the case wasn't even approved. It got instantly denied by a paypal bot since my transaction was over the, I believe 90 day,  charge back date. There wasn't a paypal representative to look at the item received claim I put in last night. Even through it has been over the 90 day requirement, I never received the item. So I should be eligible for the buyer protection.

Today, 11/24/2021 I have finally received contact from lrkcreations, she's saying I will be receiving a refund but she needs time... I have not received my refund yet so this is still unresolved. Just wanted to update about her finally contacting me.
