Is pickyourshoes.com a scam?

ok I have just sent in my western union payment for my shoes but the problem is that he won't give us his Identification number and there are a hundred different guys called Roger Liu (the guy I have to send the money too) according to western union (they were talking to me on the phone) and one is a criminal.

People have posted links on thew sneakerfreaker thread, but has anyone here ordered from them?

western union is never a good idea regardless of who you're buying from.

I used PayPal to buy mine. I got them a week later. The delivery service they use is a bit shit as they just left them on my door step. But they are a real company : )

BTW ... Size 8.5 guys Air maxes for sale ! They're too big for me : (

bezz is right western union is def one of the most dodgy methods of transferring cash around the world. paypal ftw... hope it all works out in the end though mate.

They need ID and all of this crap that the guy didn't give us. 

I don't know why everything's going wrong for me lately, this isn't the only thing I'm worried about

i've paypal'd shoes from there before with no problem. for some reason it won't work for me anymore though but i think thats paypal thats fucked me there....

 Dont worry mate we all hit puberty at different times.

 Just relax it will happen.

 

 

go's to vote for stryke it the funny thread

got a pair a few months ago no drama's

I went through that a year ago.. I think explaining why I'm already 5" 7 

It's just lots of bad stuffs happening lately, two months ago it was all good, it's just my unlucky/shitty few months of the year I guess 

Paypal or Western Union?

Don't worry mate. You're too old for me so at least that's one positive!

 

Those jokes never get boring 

 

So what do you guys think I should say to the western union customer service person, she says she needs his ID, full name and address, should I say get it off hold?

Acctually, I think it's all good once he sends us the shoes, he can get the money.

Dude, obviously you are to young for a credit or debit card. Can that western union transfer quick smart!!! You will never see your money or shoes again and they will rape you with fees!

Is it possible for you to give your old's or a mate cash and get the to put it on there credit card.

You need to sort yourself a BOPO card! Its like pre paid VISA and no age limit ect.

DO NOT USE western union!

No, no it's under my mum's credit card, but it's sent by my name.

Can i ask then why on earth you are using western union and not pay pal?

You should only use Western Union if you're transferring money to family IMO. Anyhoo, I hope you get it all sorted out

... and...

not a scam, but im sure there are a million roger lius out there. id definitely recommend paypal for any internet transaction where possible.

I don't think so, I should have set up a Paypal and payed that way though.

I have never personally ordered off PickYourShoes.com but I know quite a few people who have with no hassles at all. Your problem is using Western Union, my advice would be to try and get your money back and set up a PayPal account. You can have PayPal linked directly to a savings account so you don't need to have a credit card.

But the guys expecting that he's gonna get the money through western union now.

so what, its upto you in the end, you're the buyer not him.

Just adding another vote for Paypal payment. I've bought 4 pairs of shoes through pickyourshoes, all on Paypal just linked through with my bankcard. Only bit I got worried about due to my slight tinfoil hat tendencies was the extra ID check. It was a piece of piss though, I just took a digital photo of my address and name from the top of a bank statement along with my passport ID page underneath. All sorted and went through sweetly.

If he won't give you the necessary details needed to pay him through Western Union then that's his own fault. Just get your money back and start over.

1- PYS is legit.

2- Never use Western Union.

I bought a pair off there for the first time a month ago-No ID or any of that shit needed

I've sent the man this

"We need your date of birth and and place of birth and also your drivers licence number. if you can't give us this information I will cancel this gay western union order and use paypal."

Well I've learn my lesson for the day, Western Union is pure crap.

My mum won't let me cancel it though, and she believes that the guy is the one on Government Watchlist and I've showed her all of your comments, I'm so god damn frustrated, I want to cancel and order with paypal but my mum won't let me, I'm trying to refrain from being angry at mum but I can't. 

Now she say's I don't deserve the shoes, I'm only trying to make this damn easier for both of us.

I feel like it's just not worth it anymore, everything's turned against me now.

That doesn't make sense, if your mum thinks the guy is dodgy she should cancel the order!

No one ever got anything good by listening to their parents   

And btw it's usually not good to use the word "gay" in a business transaction 

But she thinks if the guy is when I pay with Paypal I can't get my money back and there's no protection.

and with the gay thing, well I am pissed off, and Western Unions Transactions are pretty much 'gay' compared to paypals.

When somebody else has your money and you have fuck all, it can pay to be civil.

I guess so.

But I don't want the shoes anymore, too much trouble, I'll just cancel the order and get my money back, it was sopposed the be my early birthday present, but I think I'd rather want to be happy for another week and have not that many problems rather than have these shoes, and my mum can just keep the money, she would have more important things to buy with the money, I guess I already have a nice pair of shoes anyway.

Yes it might be gay but you don't actually say it, or they'll think you're some 12 year old kid who doesn't know what he's doing  

Heaps of businesses all over the world use paypal, but almost none seem to use wester union so that should give some indication of which one is more secure and reliable!

I'll try to get my mum to cancel it now anyway, sure I really want these shoes but it's too much trouble.

if they are good shoes they are never too much trouble.

tis a bit like that!

Sounded abit like that, I could have made it sound less emo but I couldn't be stuffed

They are, Reebok Pumps, I might acctually get them if the guy replys and gives me all the info I need, I hope he does, but it's unlikely.. when I think about it I already have a nice pair of shoes anyway.

"Fuck the world, I'm gonna go find a dark cave somewhere and write love poems about my ex-girlfriend... "

makes me remember when I once had a name on a game and I was called Emo_hunter01 just for the laughs, and stupid emos kept PM'ing me and disrupting me.

this should never come into the equation when one is purchasing a pair of shoes

Yeah I know but it's not really my money, it's just a birthday present.

even better

  ok now you've gotten me, I'll pay off my GTA 4 pre order if I can't get them.

2 x nice pairs of shoes > 1 x nice pair of shoes

no shit the more the merrier - in fact, the more shoes i bought, the more i wanted!!!! reminds me of something else....

icecream!!!

Guess what everyone?

I scored a pair of ERS 2000 Royal Flush Edition from First In Flight for 60 bucks, was gonna get the Ventilator Royal Flush but it was in Size 12 and didn't fit me well but still
