I suggest you don't. They'll gladly take your money, but not send you anything out for you're hard earned money.
If you are thinking of getting a Ridemonkey shirt
- Thread starter Blueadder
- Start date
It's been since the first week in October since I ordered my shirt. Where is it Mr. Ridemonkey?
Yeah...its been a long time since people ordered them. I want one, but I want to recieve it...
I got mine like 3 months ago
awesome. Where is everyone else's?firetoole said:

Oh, cool...I didn't know they came. I need to get one!
that's so messed up.Blueadder said:
You know darn well if anyone else conducted business like this, the whole monkey would be up in arms yelling scam.
Bad business.
Since this has happened to multiple people, I think a community wide explanation is in order... instead of deleting threads/posts and ignoring the problem
I order mine in mid-september and I can't get RideMonkey to answer my e-mails or PM's. Pisses me off alot.
I have to agree... I mean, I understand s**t happens sometimes but it seems ridiculous that only a select few have been responded to about the problem.LordOpie said:
Call up the credit card company and claim fraud...
stosh said:
and? If there have been so many repost about this, why hasn't anything been done about it.
It's now been 5 months. I haven't get a response back from either RM or the company handling the shirts.
Already filed a disput through paypal.blue said:
Yeah, I think disputing charges is the only way anyones gonna get anything out of this. One guy getting bombed by 40 people wanting something they already paid for...sounds Karpiely on a much smaller scale 
Being short on reading comprehension has nothing to do with it. Why isn't there a sticky in the Lounge, where most people look? And if there's a problem, why haven't people gotten their PMs and emails responded to, even if they didn't send them to the right address?Toshi said:
I know, I know, people are busy as hell. Busy busy busy. Don't want to check multiple email addresses, don't want to respond through PMs. But when you have people's money, you've got an obligation to them. Even if it's only twenty-something bucks for a t-shirt.
edit: not trying to come across as unreasonable, it just leaves a bitter taste in people's mouths when they've tried to contact the person who has their money and get nothing in response.

I think this is going to end up with a really mad head monkey before it is done. Not that he is right or wrong, but seeing past trends with confrontations, I am just saying.
Anyone who FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS recieved either a shirt or a refund.
The asshat who made this thread sent a bunch of PM's but didn't provide his paypal address and therefore RM had no way of providing the refund.
Try emailing a bunch of people saying you want your money back, but not giving them any information about who you are or how to send the money to you, and see how it goes.

Meh. I sincerely appreciate all the work that goes into this site, and I hope that's evidenced by the fact that the minute there was a formal method set up for obtaining a membership, I bought one.loco said:
I guess I just know how I would have handled (and have handled) a similar situation, and it involves going way out of my way to make sure proper communication happened to resolve the situation.
No disrespect meant, nor am I being ungrateful for what is a great free resource here.
actually, it has everything to do with it. as Echo noted it is not possible to refund money without the proper information, and the text-of-which-there-has-been-little-comprehension outlined explicitly how to provide that information.binary visions said:
and fwiw i've bought three ridemonkey shirts over the years and have no complaints there.
That's fine. I'm not going to turn this into an arguement. Guess a lot of people just don't think like me.
From my perspective, it wasn't the customer's fault the order got screwed up - and even if it wasn't Adam's fault either, he's the one to shoulder the responsibility. Asshat who provides inadequate information or not, had a response been sent that said, "I'm sorry, there was a problem with the order. Please provide me with your email address and I'll credit you with a refund immediately", there wouldn't be a thread here now. And clearly, he's not the only one who hasn't been communicated with.
I'm done, it's just a different way of looking at business.

It was pre orders for items that had yet to be printed - paypal can only charge in advance. This was stated in the original order thread I believe.
I agree. There should be a sticky - a mod can have his own personal buy and sell sticky, but no t-shirt sticky? wack.binary visions said:
In any case, I just want my t-shirt. I don't want a refund. I want a t-shirt.
I explained this to RM in my email to the above address and got no response.
T-shirt.
No refund.
Time to stop complaining. If you make life miserable enough for RM and others who bust ass to provide goodies, there won't be shirts, stickers, or anything else in the future.
Read the instructions, use pm and give up the protest marches.
I'll sell my Ridemonkey t-shirt. It even has an authentic Monkeyfest salsa stain, making it that much more valuable.
For some reason I was under the impression that there was going to be another 'run' of shirts within a few months from a new printer and I was content with waiting for that. I lost the email he sent me as I've since switched jobs, but it sounded like that was going to be the case.johnbryanpeters said:
