Run. Quick. Any where else.
Scene:
Took $1K Ferragamos to be steam stretched back to size 11.5. After being in storage for 2 years I thought it was time to reestablish some semblance of panache. Was told it would take 4-5 days. I left them.
The Pick-Up:
The shoes were paid for in cash. The CC machine was still not working. wink wink. The shoes were handed back will a gash in the toe leather, covered in dust and not stretched at all.
The Summation:
Petty theft or money laundering pure and simple. They have no intention of doing the work. At least not in this case.
I like my country a great deal. And, I respect craftsmanship of any type. These people are not representative of Canadian values and display no care or craftsmanship. Stay away. Avoid the soul sickness that comes with dealing from people like this. It will do your life a lot of good.
