Talk to your CC company...most times you can get payment reversed/stopped, even if it's been some time since the charge. I have had to go this route twice, and I GOT MY MONEY BACK both times.
OR you could call Peter again, and ask that you rec your jacket NO LATER than ONE WEEK from that call, or you will report him to the better business bureau, and stop payment on the CC. Since this is a UK company, I don't know how well they can be...PRODDED...but they ARE selling within the us.....even if it gets hung up in customs, they would at least have sent it....this possibly could even be considered mail fraud....
It CAN be done......
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, as he's the only place to buy the 'real'jacket, but I have held off so long ordering one simply from reading the stories on here like yours.
Good luck,
Indiana Jimmie

: Thanks for the support and reassurance. I appreciate the response to attempt to ease my pain. I anticipated a 4-6 weeks wait because that's what I was told by Peter and that's what I had heard on the Forum. I ordered the jacket on April 11, so now I'm going on 8+ weeks. It's not the wait that really annoys me. It's the fact that they lie about the wait when you order, and then give multiple excuses when you call to check on it. I wish they would just tell me, "We have your order #___, and we got really backed up with shipping and making costumes for movies, but we will get it to you." That would sit fine with me. It's just a little unnerving when they charge your credit card immediately for $255 before they are even ready to start on the jacket. For someone who isn't rich, losing that money with nothing to show for it becomes a little rough.

: Anyway, I do appreciate the gesture, Danno. I will try to forget about my $255.
