SE has a great customer base, all of which will probably boycott Tate & Yoko now. Their loss.

interesting, i'll be watching what happens from the sidelines.

i have a long post that is trying to fight it's way out of me, but i'll hold my unsolicited take back abit.  that does seem really sleazy to say the least.

This^ Now I am late to leave work… Sure there will be more for me to read when I get home.

monday, by definition your take is not unsolicited, because I requested it

matter of fact, I'd probably rather hear your opinion than anyone else's, it would probably be interesting

This should've been handled in private.

I was browsing the t&y site this AM and noticed the familiar copy on the TFH winter flannel and sent kiya an email. He said he was aware and had been trying to get them to take it down for weeks but his emails were being ignored…....

I made the first purchase at T+Y and am a bit disappointed with respect to how this has played out. Obviously I am a bit biased because I met one of the dudes responsible for opening the shop and couldn't have been happier with his service and happen to reside in Montreal, but I've also been satisfied with most of my transactions with SE. I, as well, will be watching how this unfolds from the sidelines. I fear it has potential to become quite volatile relatively quickly.

That is a different story (@ jacoavlu)…

Shoreman, the point is not the customer service, or shopping experience.

I just read through this and I'm totally with Kiya, its definitely not ok to just copy item descriptions from a other website without permission. A self written description is copyright protected. And imagine you take time and creativity to describe a item you wanna sell and a lazy competitor just do a copy and paste job. I would be pissed…

[Guest]

No, no; I couldn't agree with you more. It's absolutely lazy and unnecessary. I don't care how quickly they wanted to get their operation up and running, taking something that isn't yours and representing it as such is wrong and shines a negative light on what you are trying to accomplish. I'm of the mind that this should have been handled privately, whether through means of telephone conversations or by exchanging e-mails. If, in fact, it is the case that Kiya has been reaching out for weeks and that said attempts have been ignored, I have no doubt that this situation will ultimately lead to the demise of T+Y. (Once your reputation is tarnished, it is near impossible to repair. Hello, Blackberry.)

exactly, and I'm sure that there was a try to resolve that in private…

I'll have to buy a couple of BBs then before they get extinct

I am surprised by the mixed response, but that's sufu and why I rarely post over there, such is life

[bagley920]

The "mixed" response is from members with less than 5 posts. Convenient if you ask me. All they had to do was admit it, apologize and change it and the issue would have been dead the next day. They didn't do that which is why it became a huge issue.

[Guest]

Blah, blah, blah. Who cares? It's over with. Let it go.

Haraki-San and Kiya at Inspiration LA 2012…

[jacoavlu]

Kiya's wearing the pending Roy jacket. I wonder if they will come with custom chain stitch embroidery?

[Finn666]
