Guys I order a uniform from WW2sale.com and got ripped off. They sent me the wrong size and will not do anything about it:

Order ID: 52756
Date Ordered: 27/04/2012

Me:(may16)

Hello I received my order to day! I am please with it, the stitching
is done very well. I only have 2 concerns:

The jacket is smaller then the sizing chart says on the website. It's
a 50 chest not a 52. I've had it checked by a tailor to make sure.
Could I've gotten a XL not a XXL?

One of the mag pouches seems to be alot older then the other and it
has one of the catches broken.

I can send pictures if you want them.

Thanks

The error is not 2cm it is 2 inches as shown on the tape in the picture. I can understand a error of cm not of inches.

Dear Chris Hurley , So sorry for damage for our shipping express. When you place next order ,we will send a gift as compensation. But the size of tunic was right , because the tunic is made in another manufactory ,they has different size chart compared with ours. Many thanks for your understand . Looking forward your early reply. Thanks


I would ask that you pass the word these guys suck and to not buy from them please.

Thanks guys
Hurley.

If you want a decent ww2 uniform, buy only from At the front or WPG.
Cost more but the quality and service is there.

Chinese shops are notorious for having wrong sizes. As SHaKaL said, WPG, At The Front, there are others, will cost more but quality wise can't be beat.

I'm guessing you paid by credit card: contact your CC issuer. Most likely they can get you a refund.

I had a similar problem with Spearhead Militaria. They sent me the Austraian uniform instead of the Canadian Battle Dress. They eventually sent me the right uniform. It's a bit small (close enough that a little weight loss and it'll be fine) even though I stated clearly that I wanted it one size up. I made the mistake of giving them my real measurements. I'd say the answer is to lie about the size you need. I still have the Ausie uniform.

Personnaly I got a satisfying service from spearhead militaria, when I got my Canadian Battle Dress last year. Got what I paid for, good pricing... I ordered using their chart.

So... 52 inches at one factory equals 50 inches at another factory?

Or did you order a XXL and get an XL? If that's the case, and XXL is supposed to be 52 inches why does the factory they use use a different sizing chart? I'm confused.

They say they're custom made, so how could any error that large be acceptable? when did metric inches and imperial inches become different? (I know there aren't inches in the metric system :P)

Hurley895, sorry to here about your crap experience.

It is best to avoid WW2 vendors that offer Allgemeine SS Tuxedos as well as "Fantasy" items such as USMC Camouflage M42 Jump Suits. Soon as you see a vendor offering this type of nonsense it is best to take a pass.

$162.59 for an Iffy looking US Tanker Jacket Repro? WTF?

But THIS!!!

I've seen many historical pictures to back this up. But I'm not sharing!

LOL!

Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS

facepalm

Interesting, especially since the sizing offered is for Men.

Comes in size 52R too.

Now I'm afraid...

i went with http://stores.ebay.ca/Memory1945 on making a custom uniform for me... they did the conversions i asked for and it came out great! made my uniform a one of a kind.
I had some special conversions to make it look 'better'

i knew it! the Nazis were actually Chinese in disguise!

I believe that's http://www.gavinmilitaria.com/index.php.
Majority of the items are exactly the same description/free "gifts".

If it actually is, most of the items are fairly cheaper on the webstore (such as the Dot-44)

Just a word of the wise, they were hacked back in March. Apparently not the first time it's happened. You'll get a tracking number that works, everything seems fine and dandy. Makes for interesting times trying to sort shit out once it's past the 45 days with Paypal and Gavin.

Also, dealing with a company who's office is on islands just off of Puerto Rico.

I too recommend At The Front or What Price Glory

Don't buy a word of what WW2 promises...I wasted an hour and a half online With their rep with an "English" name..even copied the conversation... begged me to "trust" them assured me if size was incorrect...send back for full refund...or make correct..explained this was for a very specific client and this would lead to more purchases....lost the client, I had to suck up the payment...was promised sale out in abut 10 days to me...more than a month later I got package, was told order was Lost...but they just took time in sending... I asked for gabardine breeches...got wool. client ..this was a test run from him of me...already... angered...left to find another source...so first sale from WW2...lost me credibility and a client...tunic had terrible quality button holes.. they were shredding even before I rebuttoned the tunic... collar stitching bad...only two hooks when I told it had to have three on the collar...those were placed backward and would not hook and badly sewn in!! sleeve buttons were just tossed on...crooked and not correctly spaced...As I moved the buttons...I noticed one button conveniently revealed where the seamstress...not a tailor as advertised.. had cut the fabric. Despite assurances to make good..."Please Trust Us!!!... I informed them the tunic was was off size...asked for 17" collar...got 18 1/2, 42-44" chest...got 50"...length was way off the size...sleeve longer than asked for, etc. Their response to assurances to Trust and they'll make good.... wouldn't take a return nor a refund stating their policy is 2-3mm difference..not stated in our agreement..not what a real tailor would do...they take a size they make the size... chest was over 6 inches off...way more than 2-3 millimeters...collar an inch and a half off...sleeves about 2 inches off, etc. They promised tailor made and sent me what they had in stock... and lied about the delivery...I questioned them...they say..who told you this...read verbatim the discussion I had..and name..said never heard of her... scam from the get-go and that was how they intended to open relations with a commercial client!!! Sad/glad to see this is a regular occurrence...need to shut them down...or I think they are going by another name...see same product out of China but different business name on Ebay...Shame on them...just reassures people's thoughts on not buying from China...I have moved to Europe...better quality and better prices...

I hear mentions of other businesses...I can't say for German...but I highly recommend an L-A area based company... WWII Impressions...material is spot on...not that fluffy tn Chinese made junk...these uniforms, and hats look like new originals...A buddy was with me at a recent historical event...wearing WW II USMC shirt, proper tan trousers for Marines and side hat...proper looking Chambray material for the shirt...fooled me...even no back pockets...and his size...I have dealt with the US Army stuff...impressed...pricey...but worth it especially l if you want sized to fit...even women's WAC/Nurses stuff... I think he even uses original threads fr the most parts... I'm normally cheap when buying for clients...but he's worth it to me...
