I’m sure many of you have seen the website, www.spam.com, the self proclaimed “king of puro dealers”. This man is a schmuck! He’s nothing more than a glorified scam artist. He has owed me ten DVDs since the middle of July. The ten discs were originally left out of a package of about twenty five more. Upon emailing him, he promptly apologized, and promised to get them out that night. After waiting three weeks, I emailed him again: Fifteen minutes later: This was the last I heard from IVP. As of today, October 17th 2008, after checking the mail that ran today, I still have nothing from IVP. He also no longer replies to my emails. It has been over three months now, for 10 discs. For someone that prides himself on having 23 duplicators running all the time, and making his money off copying DVDs, this has been the absolute worst customer service I have ever encountered, anywhere. I will not be dealing with IVP ever again. This has been the ABSOLUTE WORST customer service I have ever received. If you're willing to risk your money on DVD-Rs and possibly not getting what you ordered, this man is for you!

The owner is a very cool guy. I can't imagine he is doing this on purpose.

If this had been going on for a week or so, I'd probably let it go.. but it's been going on since JULY. I could have got the discs shipped directly from Japan in this time, and that includes if they got held up in customs!

Never had an issue and I will continue to order. have fun with that. Hope one of your orders doesn't end up lost in the cracks. I really don't care how many successful deals he's did with you, Showstopper, CBT, Joe Schmo, and Jane Doe, it doesn't make my DVDs magicly appear. I'm still out the same 10 DVDs from him.

So don't come on here saying "Don't deal with this man" when people have had fine transactions with him.

Good for you. Most other people aren't and like to hear about the schmucks of this world who are out to get one over on people. edit: But just for you, I editted the initial post.

If my orders come fine I don't care that he "ripped" you off - it won't change me ordering from him just because your order might've got lost in the mail.

If my orders come fine I don't care that he "ripped" you off - it won't change me ordering from him just because your order might've got lost in the mail. did you not read the post? It didn't get "lost in the mail". He's never shipped it.. There's really no reason for anyone to even be replying. Not something that's really up for discussion. It's the presenting of facts to the public. I don't care how good of a guy he has been to you in the past, and I don't really care what you think of the situation.. The guy is a total schmuck. Who runs a buisness, and refuses to even answer questions from paying customers? Any time I've emailed, say, Smart Mark Video with a DVD problem, I've got replies almost insantly, and a solution within a week. A while back, I ordered 2 DVDs from SMV, 2 Chikara shows. The shows got lost and got returned to sender to them, for whatever reason. It happens sometimes. The total transaction ended up lasting about a month, and ended with SMV resending my order with an extra CZW show. That's how customer service works. But like I posted a few posts up, I'm almost sure my discs have never left his "office".

I will address this quickly. First off, Slambamjam is a great website, especially if you are looking for Lucha.
This gentleman is correct, I have owed him DVDs since July. He did not purchase them, it was actually in a trade. In another thread, he posted the e-mail but edited it to make it look like a purchase.
This is getting really ridiculous.. We've had a trade going for over 2 months.. Last I heard from you, my discs were supposed to be going out 2 weeks ago, yet I still have nothing.. seriously, what's going on? Our deal was:
BJPW 02/19/2008 & 02/26/2008 [2873] 162/163 BJPW 03/18/2008 & 03/25/2008 [3756] 166/167 BJPW 04/01/2008 & 04/08/2008 April 8th 2008 [3744] 168/169 Hardcore Ladies 05/14/2008 May 14th 2008 [3740] BJW Death matches V.16 [2700] BJW Death matches V.17 [2701] BJW Death matches V.18 [2702] BJW Death matches V.19 [2703] Shimmer Volume 2 - 84 - 1 Shimmer Volume 3 - 324 - 1
for
Chikara Young Lions Cup 6 (3 nights, 6 discs total) IWA-MS King of the Death Matches 2008 night 1 6/20/08 (2 discs) IWA-MS King of the Death Matches 2008 night 2 6/21/08 (2 discs)
agreed to trade on 7/15/08, I shipped mine on 7/19/08, and they arrived to you on 7/22/08
My address is: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is this important. I will tell you why. This person is the scum of the earth. We did in fact set up this trade on 7.15.2008. I am a member of a website that deals with tape trading and shilling. I don't want to list it out in the open, but a lot of people know what it is. This person was suspended from that message board after our deal was made for a minor infraction.
His suspension was for three days. Most people take suspensions like men, but instead he turns around and Rats out the entire message board to smart mark video including naming a few people that I consider good friends. He CC'ed that e-mail to the moderator of the message board so I will include that as well.

A website called "Crazymax" online has been actively bootlegging Smart Mark Video releases. Everything from CZW, IWA-MS, Chikara, IWA-EC, Best on the Indies, and basicly everything else. One particular member that attention could > be directed to is this "Tangled Webz". He is the person that supplied my friend with the bootleg copies. He apparently does what he calls "bulk buys"where a bunch of people pay for one show, then everyone gets DVD+R copies of everything bought. My buddy says he's done this on every SMV update for at least the last 6 months. He shouldn't be hard to find, with his $100+ orders several times a month. There are countless other people illegally selling SMV stuff on there, most for $2 or less. Nothing hurts me more than to hear about something like this happening. I spend around $150 a month to get out to every IWA-MS show.. Hopefully you can do something about this to stop the copying that is hurting the indies.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, to continue, he rats out the board and gets banned permanently because of it. The worst part about it all is that he was one of the Biggest sellers of Smart Mark Video footage
If you look at the original e-mail, it was a trade. He sent me Smart Mark Video owned footage At the same time, he also had a large purchase with me for about $60. I shipped those DVDs, because he paid for them and I do not steal money from anyone. However, I will not sit idly by as he throws my friend under the bus and acts like a hypocritical a$$. I will not let him profit off of SMV owned footage, and that is why I did not, nor will I ever, send him his discs.
I have been in business for over five years now and I have always delivered on DVD's that were purchased. This is a very special situation involving some personal issues and I am sorry this is being dragged into a public forum. Thank you for your time, and don't forget to order from spam.com, your number one source for puroresu on DVD!
Oh and for the record, I do not sell SMV footage. I have it on my other list as a means of organization, but I do not offer it for sale.

WCWA.....you're the one that reported Crazy to SMV?!?!?!?! WTF?! If its true..... All I am gonna say is shame on you.
IVP.....I had to edit your thread. I cant have his number and email address posted on here. Dude will be harassed to no end.
I am locking this thread. Wfigs does not want to get in the middle of a trade gone bad on Crazy. Please iron out the situation on their board or through PMs. Thank you.
