Has anyone bought from them and how was it. They have the most beautiful custome. thinks jini

I've never bought one of their costumes, but I think I ordered a DVD from them one time. I think it took a while to arrive, but aside from that, I seem to remember their being pretty good about sending me notification when it had been shipped, and that sort of thing.

I'm curious -- which is the costume you like?

If you are getting the item from ebay(I have no experience with their ebay store.) it may be okay. If you are going to have one made, tell them an exact date and be prepared to wait longer then that date and also be prepared in the stories that they will tell you on why your costume is not yet ready.

I bought an ebook once. Little did I realise that their ordering system isn't automated so I had to wait overnight until they manual sent me the release code but they were very friendly.

Buying of the rack I have had a good experience, but if you are going to do custon be perpared to be dissapointed, they cant sew straps on even, and the beads fall off in the package, then they cant seam to get what you want right and when asked to fix it you have to wait over 3 months and you get it the wrong size..... with the wrong style of sequin

If you are going to buy a "legend" costume, I think Shimi.com would be a better place to go.

Ok well after having mixed feelings I hae decided after there latest trick to add this.....

I orderd a custom costume, and then a ready made....paid for both the first item was shipped and then I was told that they switched the top and sleves becuse the one i ordered wasnt in my size.....Waited 16 weeks for the right top and custom costume got them and the sleves for the RM werent in the box, I e mailed an they arrived a week later, the CC sleves were not what I ordered just bare sleves no detail no flowers....then they requested the top back from the RM that they sent wrong, I had altered it to make it fit since I had waited 16 weeks I told them I would keep it and send payment after the CC sleves were ready well i recieves the second set of sleves for the CC and they were HORRIBLE not my size and stars not flowers......So i just ignored them for a bt trying to decide what to do. I wanted to give it a while and decide what to do about the green sleves. i then get a threatening e mail saying i better pay with in 7 days or they will bring in a 3rd party....I finally wrote back and said ok look you wanna play like that then make the right sleves for the CC and i will send you payment, pls send the 2 wrong sleves back they are like YOU ARE BLACKMAILING US......Im LIKE WTF are you serious, Now they are like we lent you the RM costume we want it back and we did you all these favors they never lent ma anything I paid $1,600 for 2 costumes and the CC didnt even have crystals on the skirt like pictured in the photos on the site and the sleves they defantly were trying to SKIMP on.....Im so furious....I felt I needed to buy the top they sent me in the first place becuse I altered it becuse I needed something, Shoot I had to wait 16 weeks for the right one.....Im not paying for shipping on anything, and im not paying for the top till they send me the sleves for the custom costume and I think i deserve a freaking discount on the CC what morons......IF YOUR READING THIS YOU DONT SCARE ME....DONT SEND ME ANY MORE THREATS SEND ME MY SLEVES AND MADE IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER NOT A AMATURE CRAPPY UNEVEN MANNER

The pictures on the site are NOT what you get. It's the old "bait and switch"

We take slander and libel very seriously. The costume which you received from us was made with the same materials as the original.
Here is the photo from our offer to prove the fact.
The costume was not made with rhinestones as you claim, it was made with sequins -- as is obvious from the photo.

First of all, we never threatened you, I cannot imagine how you could construe such a thing from our request that you "contact us within the next 7 days". We are business people and handle our customers with respect, even when they do not return the favor. If you felt threatened, then we apologize for any misunderstanding.
To the issue of your costumes:
We really went the extra mile for you, and it is unfortunate that with all our efforts and extra expenses we were not able to please you. However, your demands became too over the top for us:

1) you needed a costume quickly and chose one readymade and we accommodated you by loaning you the necessary top and sleeves for your show.
2) we made a top in your size so you could return the loaned items to us
3) you ordered a second costume and were unhappy with the sleeves which came with the costume - we made you a new set and sent them free charge. So now you have two sets of sleeves for this costume.
4) you were not happy with the second sleeves, so we offered to exchange them with yet another set -- to which you demanded that we
- send the set free charge so you would now have 3 sets of sleeves from us (not as an exchange)
- or you demand we pay you $120
5) we already gave you a $125 discount when you placed your order
6) You did not return the loaned top and sleeves as agreed because you wrote that you wanted to purchase them. However, you never sent payment.

In a message in another thread someone wrote "a vendor will never wait 8 months for payment".
Well, here we are, 11 months and waiting...

In germany some dancers I know bought costumes of "Matha the legend" and they are very happy with them. They are looking great.

annwyn · 02-12-2008, 05:32 AM

11 months and still waiting for the CORRECT custom sleves. HMMMMM?

Now lets address # 1. #2, #3, #4 and #6

1. I requested a costume ready made, on very short notice. Yes you did deliver a costume, but NOT the one you told me you were sending. I was send an e mail with pictures that had ready made costumes that I was told were in my size and ready to ship I ordered that costume and a custom one, PAID FOR IN FULL. The day after the ready made was shipped I recieved an e mail telling me that you sent another bra and sleves becuse you didnt have it in my size. So why was I told that you had it in my size? SO I NEVER ASKED FOR A LONER YOU SEND IT TO ME. I thought I was getting what was in the picture. Instead I got something very different. Had I known this I may have picked a differnt costume since you sent me SEVERAL pictures

2. Yes you did, but only becuse I told you I wanted the top I ordered. Not the one you had sent. I should have never ever been asked to ship this back at my own cost. This was your mistake. You promiced me a costume that was in stock but deliverd something else.

3. I ordered SPECIFIC sleves (Have the e mail to prove it) and was sent again SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERNT. Then when you attempted to fix it I was sent some hiddeous sleves (this is not slander but an opinion) they dont fit WAY too big and are not made to fall on the arm properly. When you get them back you will see.

4. Yes I demanded $120 for the shipping charge from japan to turkey to return the sleves. So then the 3rd set wouldnt be free now would they?

6. Yes I have not returned the top or sleves becuse I still have 2 wrong sets of sleves. Which I have told you I will gladly send back with FREE shipping.

Like I said before when I recieve the sleves I SPECIFICALY ordered I will pay the remaining balance, and return the 2 other sleves 1.wrong and 2.not even to measurement sleves that you sent. I will how ever NOT pay for shipping either way.

I do not think that demanding the correct costume parts(that fit) is unreasonable. I do not think that requesting to NOT pay shipping both ways for YOUR mistake is unreasonable, and last I do not believe that refusing to pay a small balance (compared to the large sum I paid upfront) untill the sleves i ordered in the correct size arrive.

Lastly if you would like to settle this in private rather than in public please send the correct sleves, in the correct colors,seqin, pattern and size. Then I will return the sleves with free shipping and pay the small balance. If not then I am prepared to backup everything I have said on here having saved EVERY e mail I will not have a problem doing so. If you have another solution I am glad to hear it, but can not promice that I will agree unless I believe it is fair.

I removed my threads because I realized,
~ I bought that dress from another company, not marta
~ the dress from marta was wonderful because:
~ it did not come wrong, crookedly made, too long, made cheaply and take too long from their company
~ it was another company I believe I was confused with
~ so the threats from numerous parties can now stop.
~ I will no longer be on bhuz, so people out there I have been friends with via bhuz are welcome to email me off my website.
