Paging Meelee (I'm SO sorry to have to do this!)

Jan 26, 2007

    1. Does anybody know Meelee or might anyone know if she's all right? I bought quite a lot of jelly bracelets from her at the end of December, paid, and as of a couple weeks now, she hasn't answered my PMs or my queries in her FS thread asking her to get in touch with me with a report on my purchase.

      I hope she's okay - if I don't hear from her soon, I guess I have to open a paypal dispute before my time runs out; it's almost been a month already, I think I only have a couple more weeks before my time is up. :(
       
    2. I also bought some of her jellies and haven't received them. I paid her around Dec. 27th. I last heard from her on Jan. 10th saying she's been really busy but was going to mail out my jellies that day. Well, I still haven't received them. I PM'd her recently but no answer. I'd love to know what's going on. Meelee if you are out there please get in touch with us.
       
    3. Meelee is a very good personal friend of mine. She has been busy lately what with school and a problem with her car. However if its been that long she should have sent out your stuff or at least replied to you! ^^; I will try and get ahold of her by phone and see whats going on for you guys!
       
    4. Thank you very much - anything you can do would be very much appreciated. I figure if I don't have them by next week, I will have no choice but to open a paypal dispute to see if I can get my money back. Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.
       
    5. Agreed. :) Just to let you guys know I have contacted her on the telephone. I told her to get on DoA right away and to reply to your PMs. ^^ Good luck guys!
       
    6. Thanks. She still hasn't contacted me, has she gotten in touch with any of the other 2 people (I think there's a total of 3 of us) looking for her?
       
    7. Thanks so much. I really appreciate you calling her for us. Haven't heard from her yet but I feel better knowing you've spoken to her.
       
    8. Thank you so much for trying to help us, Syndal_lynn... I figure if by Wed I still have not heard from meelee, I'm filing a paypal dispute. :(
       
    9. I guess you haven't heard from her yet, Sher? I haven't either. I'm not very optomistic at this point. I really, really wanted those bracelets. I don't understand because Meelee said she was going to mail mine out the next day after her PM which was Jan 10th. If she has them ready, how difficult is it to mail them out? Obviously she's okay if Syndal_lynn just spoke to her on the phone. So what's the deal? This isn't right. We paid for something, we should receive it.
       
    10. No, nothing yet Laura. I wanted those bracelets, too, I found some rings at claire's that the unoas can wear, but nothing for the bigger dolls, so I was pretty excited about these.

      I don't understand either.
       
    11. It looks like there are 4 of us who have been able to get Meelee to either send our stuff, refund our money, or even contact us:

      Me, Cyn, Luxury, and laurmann2000
      :(

      Tomorrow, Wed, unless I hear something, I'm filing a paypal complaint.
       
    12. Hey guys. I got ahold of Meelee again. She says she's sorry about all this and she has said that she would like to refund you guys your money and still send out your bracelets since its been so long.

      She said she's been so busy with her new school that she hasn't had time to get onto DoA and such. SO! Those of you who paid with Paypal, expect a refund either tonight or tomorrow morning. HOWEVER if you don't get them in that time frame file a claim so YOU are secure in getting your cash back!

      Those of you who paid with concealed cash or mony orders, Meelee gets paid this Saturday. Bracelets and money will be sent out sometime this week. They are all in her car waiting to go.

      I am sorry I can't offer more for you guys who have paid via cash or money order ): I will be sure to call her all this week once she has been paid and if I need to I'll go over to her place and pick your your stuff and send it out myself. SO expect your things to be sent out on the 7th or 8th of Feb. Myself or Meelee will PM you when they are sent out.

      Again, I'm sorry guys. I'm doign everything I can to make this better for you guys. :)
       
    13. Thank you so much, Syndal_lynn! I was getting concerned that she was really ill or something. I'm glad she's alright and that this will be settled. I've been wanting jellie bracelets that fit bigger dolls for a long time and I was excited when I found her shop.

      It's nice of her to refund us the money and to also send us the bracelets. I was worried that I would be out of thirteen bucks. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it is when I'm jobless!
       
    14. Good heavens, you sweet thing, you are doing MORE than enough, gosh!! :) You are VERY very kind to help us get what we paid for, and I sincerely THANK YOU for all of your efforts. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

      It really isn't necessary (just speaking for myself here) for Meelee to refund my money AND send me the bracelets. I am happy to pay for what I bought, I just expected her to follow through with our transaction by sending me what I bought. If she sends me my bracelets, she can keep the money. But as you said - if I don't have a refund by tomorrow afternoon/evening, I will open that paypal dispute just in case.

      THANK YOU AGAIN. It is in no way your personal responsibility to get us our stuff, and I really appreciate all you've been doing. :aheartbea :) :D
       
    15. Well if you want to its an option to repay her after you get your bracelets, but like I said, she's going to just go ahead and refund you guys and send you your stuff. :) We (and me as well!) justw ant everyone to be happy though this ^^;;; We apolgise for this and I do hope everyone gets there stuff very soon ^______^ *hugs*

      I know whta its like to buy stuff and wait forever for it, so if I get a chance to help others out, I do ^^;; Knowing Meelee personally, she's not out to keep your'alls money. She just gets really busy and puts things on the back burner. But be assured she has thusly decided to hop on it and get thinsg straighted out. :P And I am here with my whip to make sure everythign gets done :P
       
    16. syndal_lynn Once again, thank you so much. I was one of those that paid with a money order. I feel like Sher does in that she does not need to refund my money if she is going to send out the bracelets. I really just want the bracelets. I look forward to receiving them and am very happy with this good news. Thank you for all your help.
       
    17. Hey again guys, update time ^^

      Meelee did one refund tonight for whomever filed the claim for it. Unfortunatlys he doesn't have the money to do the others, so she said if you want your refund, file the paypal claim. :) That way when she gets paid on Sat. (She gets direct deposited into her account) she can just go into her account and hit the 'refund' button for the claims. Those of you who don't feel the need to have a refund PM me and tell me. Please do go ahead and file the claim JUST IN CASE and I will tell Marie who does not actually need the money refunded so long as the bracelets actually get sent on the 7th or 8th. :)

      If you gusy do PM me, include the email you paid her with. ^^ If you paid with cash or moneyorder and would like just your bracelets, just PM me as she has your sn's with your orders. ^^

      Any questions feel free to post it on this thread or PM me. ^^
       
    18. I filed per your suggestion Syndal_lynn... if the bracelets arrive I will cancel the dispute (or, if it's too late, I'll pay Meelee).

      Thank you so much for all your hard work that really you shouldn't have to do. Thank you!
       
    19. :bump bumping up for any news from meelee...?
       
    20. Any updates?
       
    21. no, luxury, not yet, and no refund either.
       
    22. bumping in the hopes for some news...
       
    23. Nothing here either.
       
    24. I wonder if the bracelets have actually been shipped out.
       
    25. Truth be told... I have been unable to get ahold her of, myself. She has shut off her cell phone. *sigh* As soon as I hear something I will tell you guys. ;.; I'm sorry about all this!

      I've emailed her though. So we'll see what happens.
       
    26. Thanks again for trying. This is sad. I hope she's not in a depression or something.
       
    27. I understand that people can get busy with life, but that really does not mean that certain obligations should outweigh others. Especially ones involving other's money. Sure, bracelets are not that important and they are not vital to my life. But receiving something that I paid for is not only necessary for my satisfaction, but necessary for a seller who wants to keep a good reputation. Now if there is something medically wrong, and her health is hindering her from stopping by the post office to ship bracelets then I understand. If that is not the case, I don't see why it is so hard to stop by the post office before heading off to whatever is keeping her so devastatingly busy.

      This whole thing is just really irritating, and I just want my bracelets or my money back so I don't have to deal with her anymore.

      Syndal_lynn, thanks again. You really didn't have to go through all of this effort because it isn't your responsibility, but you did. I really appreciate it.
       
    28. Yeahhh I can pretty much just second what Luxury said here. I guess she's not interested in selling anything in the future; I sure as heck won't buy from her again.

      THANK YOU Syndal_lynn -- this TRULY isn't your responsibility, and I appreciate everything you are trying to do too!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
       
    29. I have not bought from Meelee, but at one time, I wanted to. I was planning to order some bracelets for one of my future dolls.

      That desire is completely gone.

      Situations like this really piss me off. It's pathetic that people are having to file Paypal disputes in order to finally get a reaction from her. Her actions are extremely irresponsible.

      As Luxury said, if health is the issue, I can understand. But school? I understand that sometimes school can be stressful, but there's certainly enough time to drop by the post office and ship some things. The longest I've ever been at the post office was half an hour, but that's just because there was a ton of confusion and re-waiting in line involved. Usually I'm in and out in at least ten minutes. Yeah... it's totally gonna take precious time out of her day to drop by and ship a few things.

      Syndal_lynn, it's very kind and mature of you to be taking this responsibility over. You shouldn't have to be doing that and I know that everyone waiting is really appreciative of the updates.

      I hope this all gets solved. And I hope that Meelee doesn't plan on many people buying from her again. 'Caaaause... it probably ain't gonna happen. :D
       
    30. I've tried another means of contacting her. o.o Since emailing her hasn't worked. ^^;;

      Thank you guys again for being patient. I am sorry about all this. >< I'm not quite sure what to do... because if she doesn't answer me, even though I know where she lives its not like I can get into her house without her there...

      She is a good friend a mine and I didn't think she'd be negligent like this o.O;; I'm not sure whats gone on in her personal life the past week or two as I have been unable to get ahold of her. >< I am trying to make sure she is okay as well as see if she's sent anything out... *sigh*

      Again guys, I'm really sorry about all this. She is a great person... just not a responsible seller I suppose. ;.; Sorry guys! I'll keep trying!!
       
    31. Syndal_lynn, you do not need to apologize to us!! Gosh, you are going WAY above and beyond to try to help us get our stuff. I did file a paypal claim, so even though meelee told you she'd refund us on saturday after she got paid, that was a week ago now - and I didn't get a refund. So I certainly don't know what's going on, either, but she really needs to be aware that if she tries to sell anything in the future here, like a doll (or anything else for that matter), if somebody reads this, she is going to have one heck of a time getting anybody to buy anything from her, and that will be her own doing. :(

      I'm certainly glad I'm only out twenty bucks and not more. Suffice it to say, I'll never deal with Meelee again. I DO hope she's all right and that she isn't hurt or something.... but thus far, even when you did speak with her and tried to get some satisfaction for us, she didn't follow through with what she said she'd do, either.

      I really don't feel like you need to do anything else - you've done MORE than enough, and I don't want you to worry about this any more, okay? It's only 20 bucks. Please don't trouble yourself further, you have done MORE than enough!! :)
       
    32. I can't thank you enough, Syndal_lynn. You've been so very helpful! I'm just about ready to give up on expecting anything from Meelee. It just bothers me that someone can be so irresponsible.

      Anyway. I think I'll pick up some materials and go at trying to make my own jellies. If I'm satisfied with the quality, I'll consider opening up a jelly bracelet shop for those who would like to buy from a reliable seller.
       
    33. :) You guys are a bunch of great people. I feel like I should make her get your stuff to you all because she is such a good friend of mine. I've been very good friends with her since middle school, she even lived with me for a time. ^^; She's a great person... but like I said. o.o Apparently irreponsible when it comes to sales. ;.; It really upsets me that she'd let her personal life get in the way of this, even though it is somethign so small. She knows just as well as everyone else that money is money no matter how small that amount.

      I'll keep tryign to get ahold of her anyway just to make sure she is okay. I very much want you guys to get at least your stuff if not your money back because I feel bad for all of you. ;.; Whether it was 5 or 20 bucks... yeah. Money is money.

      *hugs and love for all!* :D If i hear anything I will be sure to post it up. :)
       
    34. Great News!!

      I got ahold of her :) She'll be coming voer to my house tonight and dropping off all of the bracelets and since I have to go to the post office tomorrow anyway, they will be sent out tomorrow by me, personally. ^^

      I'm sorry again about the huge wait. ^^;; Marie has turned out to be fine just ultra busy and while that isn't an excuse... At least you guys will get your bracelets now. ^^;;

      As for refunds... She's told me that she is absolutly broke. I'm sorry for anyone who wanted refunds. ;.; At the very least you will get what you paid for though, I am sorry if anyone is unhappy in the end.

      Aside fromt he service, the bracelets are well-made in my opinion. I have a few myself and they've done great on my girl... who goes everywhere with me. :) At least you aren't getting any bad product!

      *giant hugs for all!!* Please everyone, as soon as you get your bracelets in the mail PLEASE PLEASE say so! I want to make sure everyone gets what they paid for!! :)!!!
       
    35. Syndal_lynn - thank you AGAIN again for everything you are trying to do!! :fangirl:

      Everything I have to say about Meelee and her attitude regarding her fellow collectors isn't allowed here on the board, so I'll just leave it at that. :(

      Thank you so much. It really wasn't your job to do all this.
       

    36. My thoughts exactly. I will never have dealings with her again. The way she handled this is just infuriating. So unprofessional!

      Way to go Meelee. :roll:

      Syndal_lynn, thank you thank you thank you! You are simply amazing! Meelee really needs to look to you as an example on how to deal with people. You've been nothing but wonderful, and all this time it wasn't your problem, but you wanted to help anyway. I'll always be thankful to you. Simply amazing.
       
    37. Alright guys here's the scoop:

      She brought two pakcages with her. One for Sherry and one for Laura (last names omitted for privacy. If htere is more than one Sherry and Laura please PM me with your last name and I will tell you if these are one of your packages!)

      I now have them and will be sending them out tomorrow. However, she siad she hasn't finished making the bracelets for the other orders. >< I am SO SORRY to those of you who have to wait longer...

      I am not sure what to do about those who have to wait longer. DId anyone file a paypal claim? If not and you want your money back I'd suggest you file now. I don't know if you will get any money as there is none in her account... *sigh*

      But she says she is makign the Bracelets on Tuesday and has arranged to drop them off at my job for me to send out on Wednesday. If you gusy are still interested in waiting, I will definatly still send them.

      Sherry's and Luara's will be sent tomorrow.

      I am sorry to everyone else. ;.; please post what you guys would like done!!
       
    38. :roll:

      All I can do is wait considering I paid with concealed cash. If I hadn't of paid with that method, I would have filed long ago. I'd like to have the bracelets, since she's so amazingly broke and can't spare to cough up my thirteen dollars.

      I seriously have my doubts that these bracelets are going to be done when she says they will. From what's been happening, it'll probably be another few weeks of a wait for me.

      Absolutely ridiculous.

      Thanks again, Syndal_lynn.
       
    39. Perhaps if her parents were notified of this they could loan her the money to pay these people back. :|

      Edit: On second reading, I'm not sure if she's in college or high school. If the former, this tactic probably wouldn't work.
       
    40. I'm sorry Luxury ;.; I will try my best to get them to you within a reasonable amoutn of time. ;.;!!

      Her parents wouldn't lend her the money anyway, truthfully ^^; They have their own issues.
       
    41. It's alright, Syndal_lynn. I really appreciate your help!
       
    42. I"m "sherry" ... anyway, dear Syndal_lynn, you REAAAALLLYY shouldn't have to do all this. I think she's taking huge advantage of you, your kindness, and your friendship.

      Anyway, that's not me to decide or to say, it's just bugging the CRAP out of me that YOU are doing all this stuff for this person. Gah.

      you are lovely and wonderful, and I hope everybody gets their stuff.
       
    43. meh,I know. ^^;; But I just want you guys to have your stuff that you paid for. I have the means to get it to you, and if I don't do it Meelee most likely won't ever get to it. I'd rather take stuff with me when I am going to the post office anyway and send the few little things than know I could have done something and didn't. :P
       
    44. Thanks again Syndal_lynn. I PM'd you with my last name as I'm Laura. I'll be glad to receive my bracelets but I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I certainly will never buy from Meelee again nor would I recommend her to anyone considering purchasing from her. But I suppose she doesn't really care or she never would have acted this way. Anyway, I'm sure you don't want to hear that as she is your friend but she's very lucky to have a friend like you.

      Thanks again.
       
    45. Sher and Laurmann2000, I sent your bracelets today :) I ought to arrive fairly soon, and please tell me when they do. :D

      And I know, I know. :P I didn't have to do all this but like I said, it makes me feel better to know that good people who paid good money for stuff got their things.

      Frankly I can't blame anyone for not wanting to buy from Meelee again. I can't be there all the time. Everyone just be happy knowing that I'm not always around and she won't always have me to fall back on. ^^; She'll learn one day, guys. *hugs*
       
    46. I doubt she'll get the opportunity to learn - I can't imagine anybody who reads this would buy from her again...

      THANK YOU, dearest Syndal_lynn. You know I'll post here as soon as my bracelets arrive, and YOU will get positive feedback for a transaction that wasn't even yours! ROFL!!
       
    47. Sher, you may want to consider putting this thread in "The Problem Transactions Index", so people can read up on how much trouble we went through. I'm not sure if I can do it considering I didn't start the thread.
       
    48. Luxury - it looks like all I'd have to do is reply to THAT thread you linked to, with THIS thread. Will do! I'd hate to see anybody scammed for even more money than this ended up being. I hope you get your goodies too. :(
       
    49. Eventually she will if i have to pry them from Meelee cold dead hands *giggles* But no, she will get them. I promise. :)

      Again, you guys are a bunch of wonderful people and I'm sorry everyone had to go through this. ^^;

      After Luxury everyone will have their refund or their bracelets. Cyn (Who I believe was the last one?) Got her money back via paypal. That was the only person Meelee could afford to refund at the time I jumped on her about it.

      So Luxury, I am tryin' hard ot get yoru stuff! I'll call Meelee tomorrow and make sure she made your bracelets. :) I'll try to get them sent out tomorrow ( if they are made o_o! ) Otherwise look for them to be sent on Thursday. :)
       
    50. Syndal_lynn, I cannot thank you enough! I'll definitely be giving you positive feedback as well for going through all of this for us. You're fantastic~

      Thanks again~! <3
       
    51. Syndal_lynn - my bracelets arrived today --- THANK YOU ---------

      this wouldn't have been possible without you. :aheartbea
       
    52. Yaay! I'm glad you finally got your bracelets, sher! Hopefully they were worth this insane wait.
       
    53. I hope you get yours SOON too luxury - they are neat... thank heavens for syndal_lynn !!!
       
    54. I'm so glad you got them, Sher :D!!! ^____^

      Luxury: You called it, the bracelets stilla ren't made. *sigh* However I feel that they'll be made soon in an effort to keep me from calling her much more. :P I can be very... pursuasive *coughannoyingcough* when I want too. So Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to send. As soon as I do I will PM you and post here, okay? *hugs tight* am so sorry again that you are being postponed AGAIN... ._. *HUG* As soon as I get them in my hands (I am gunna pick them up from her house) I'll send them. :D
       
    55. I haven't gotten mine yet but my mail has been sooooo slow this week it's driving me crazy. I'll post when I do get them.
       
    56. Many many thanks, Syndal_lynn. ;~; I hope she hands them over soon.
       
    57. My bracelets got here. Thanks so much for taking care of this.
       
    58. I'm glad they finally arrived. :) *huggles*

      Luxury-- I am still bothering Meelee every other day about the bracelets. :P You'll get them. I promise. x.x!
       
    59. I'm guessing there's no news on the bracelets due to Meelee keeping up that wonderful deadbeat appeal. :roll:
       
    60. Do you believe this? She should be banned from DOA. No, it wasn't a lot of money, but what's next? If she tries to sell a doll and this happens? Seriously. :| :|
