Re: Rich Robots/MGoStore

By Brian — November 10th, 2008 at 6:02 PM — 24 comments

I'm sorry to have to bring you this news if you've ordered shirts from MGoStore and haven't gotten them, but: I'm getting a lot of complaints that people have been charged and shirts have not been received. Multiple contact attempts have not been successful.

So:

  1. If this has happened to you, please let me know and we'll try to fix things.
  2. I will be switching t-shirt providers to an established company in January.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

Should NOT be true.

There is usually a one-time charge to load each unique design digitally. After that, you can order one or many T-shirts at the same cost.

Old technology used to require (that sounds redundant) that you spend lots of time to set up a new order.

Current technology uses the new fangled computer thingy and can print different T-shirts with different designs, different sizes, etc. one after another.

Jim, this sounds like RichRobots is truly incompetent or truly trying to simply cheat people.

You can go on-line to a dozen different sites, order a T-shirt with your unique design, and have it delivered in less than 1 week!

You may want to e-mail your State Attorney General and send a copy to RichRobots.

I did this with AT&T after fighting with them for months over an incorrect bill. Within 2 weeks (of my snail mail in this case) I received a $250 check from AT&T

I ordered a shirt back in July (the Grand Rapids shirt, not Mgostore, but...). Initially they said it was out of stock and that I'd receive it in a few weeks. I said ok. My credit card was charged at this point. So a month later, I emailed them because I had not received my shirt...no answer. Continued to email them...no answer. Finally, in early October, I wrote a more nasty email, and this time it went through. They said my previous emails went as spam, I say yeah right. So anyways, after a few pleasant reminders, they finally refunded me in late October and also said that they'd send me my shirt complementary. Still haven't received a shirt of course, although I do have a usps tracking number...which says that it hasn't been sent. I don't think they actually make shirts. They just scam people. Bottom line, never ever deal with richrobots, but if you did order a shirt, you should be able to get your money back in time.

If you don't you are encouraging them and others to continue to rip us off (and rip off Brian of his deserved revenue).
