Great idea!! Dont forget DMB
Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
Today was good test on the new OG cart system, still not perfect. I hope they go back to random and work on it some more and then try released times again. I am all for random drops, but would like for them to have some time window of 3 hours or less. That way I can try to have a life.

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
no receipt(s)... no print!

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
Paypal Receipt only = Print
Obey Confirmation and Paypal Receipt = Print
No Paypal = No Print
Can we make this a sticky at the top of the Prints Page?

Quoted for truth. On a busy drop day, the Obey server is bogged down...What this also includes is a bogged down mail server, so the queue of emails gets jammed and is never delivered.JackMama wrote:Paypal Receipt only = Print

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
The print showed up on my iphone before it did on my PC.

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
The print showed up first on my iPhone, second on my MacBook, and thirdly on my MacBook Pro. However, inevitably I scored the print with my macbook pro. Yes I am a nerd like that.

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
No doubt. It seems pretty evident that if you never got a receipt from PayPal, then no funds were ever transferred (since PayPal is a multi-bazillion dollar company and it's their business to do this sort of thing - which includes sending out emails with very low failure rates) and thus you should be referred to the ol' "you can't get something for nothing" idea. And as far as the Obey confirmations go, why would anyone think that an obviously overworked system would put much priority on something which doesn't really contribute much to the whole bottom line thing? The Obey confirmation email is A NICETY.JackMama wrote:Paypal Receipt only = Print

All noobies should be required to read the above or something like it when agreeing to having an account.
Paypal dictates whether FUNDS CHANGED HANDS. FUNDS CHANGING HANDS makes the world go 'round.

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
Maybe the mods can create a Did I get the print? sticky or thread of faq in the announcements for the inexperienced to be directed to for this subject..Always the same questions and always the same answers..

Nice print, I liked the face and how he played loose with the rest of the image.
I wasn't able to try today, but then again I have the old one he originally did for Adidas and I'm happy with it.
I hope we see more art in this style.

They should start sending refund notices to people's doors in tubes. That'd be a brutal psych-out.

I actually got to the submit order button on my iPhone and probably should have let it just go, but I hit it twice by accident. iPhone hung tight.halopigg wrote:The print showed up first on my iPhone, second on my MacBook, and thirdly on my MacBook Pro.

Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
I have received a print without emails from paypal, or obey just recently with parlor patterns. We will see this time for sure, cause I also made it to the invoice page with no email confirmations.

Yep... we all win some & loose some...theBrain wrote:amenGiantTarHeel wrote:Could someone please offer an explanation of why OG should update the servers, stick with random times, stick with announced times, etc? They still get their prints sold every week. It doesn't seem to help them in any way to heed to all the comlaints/requests to make it easier for those who struggle to obtain prints. Their goal is to make art and sell it and they do a pretty good job of it despite all the problems that arise on drop day. Anyone tried to buy an Audrey Kawasaki print? Those are announced drops to the second and you have exactly that, 1-2 seconds to get it in your cart or you're done. I say keep with all the randomness. That way we all win some and lose some.

I've had been collecting Shep for years now and have had literally every order scenario happen to me. The worst burn of them all was being able to place a order and being charged for the "Obama: Progress" print but ended up getting a refund from Obey. I've learned not to get excited about the print until I get the UPS Notification email. That's the only sure fire way you know that print is yours.
Re: OFFICIAL Ali Anticipation thread! 5/13/10!
