Beware: Gorehund

[s-trawberrymilk.livejournal.com]

UPDATE #2: (DATE: September 22nd, 2016) I messaged both the new owner, and gorehund. the badge was not sent to the the new owner after our second conversation about it being shipped. I messaged gorehund and did not recieve any response even after my mutiple times trying to reach them until days later. Finally after contacting me, I cannot say I have had a worse experience working with someone ever. Please do not commission this artist unless you would like to be wait years, and be treated like garbage.

EXPLAIN:  I commissioned Gorehund in 2014 for a badge of my new (at the time) character, PB the saber tooth. I paid $50 for the badge, and shipping. The badge was completed in early July. Everything seemed to be running smoothly. However, I never received the badge. Two years later now, I had sold the character, and suit. This may (2016) I contacted Gorehund via twitter, mentioning that I never received the badge, and that it would be nice to get a refund, or have the badge sent to the new owner. They replied, asking for a new address to contact the new owner, and the was the end of it. More than two months later, I contact the new owner of PB, and they have not even heard from Gorehund. I immediately contacted gorehund, and they asked where to reach them (though i had already told them in may). This has been one of the worst experiences with an artist I have ever received. All replies to me were cold, and extremely unapologetic. Long story short I have not received what I paid $55usd for in over two years.

Since I did get my stuff it'd be nothing to warrant an AB post on my part, but it was definitely uncomfortable having to be prepared to forcefully get my money back because they were notorious even then for shipping issues. Had I not known of the rumors at the time and protected myself like that who knows what would've happened though.
