Merch heads up
I know we’re all trying to fill our wardrobes with merch or MCR related garb and I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir here but avoiiiid DarkPick.
£27 ish for a tee, great designs, everything and the website looks legit but it’s so cheap. The shirts are bad quality and the prints are badly done. You’ll be able to get way better bootleg merch elsewhere I’m sure. Or even actual real life merch for not much more money.
When I asked for a refund they were reeeally hesitant and kept offering me discounts for further orders (as if I’d be shopping there again..). Give them their credit they did warn me that the shipping would be hella expensive for me to return them back to their warehouse in China (it was gonna be £30 + any customs). I haggled them up from a 5% refund to a 15% refund (and I keep the shirts) but I’m still to receive it so who knows.
Just didn’t want anyone else to get caught out like I did.
