Hrmm there are things such as broker rates ...
You know when you buy in mass ?
Wich gives prices as low as others ...
I actually charge less to people on GFY (125 non UV 150 UV $) then I charge mainstream (169 $).
That's arround the going rate for batch runs print shops

Originally posted by CDSmith That's fine for you man, but what about others? If Juicy says he isn't happy about something, then what, he's lying? What about the shitload of people who didn't get their cards on time last year? Do all of them need to get their fucking heads checked?
Why is it that when someone gets ripped off by someone, someone else will jump in and say how great *they* were treated and how wonderful the guy was to *them*? Who gives a shit about how great they were to you? The central point is that someone besides you ISN'T satisfied and is saying it straight out.
It seems by Juicy's post that Dre had a chance to make this right and didn't. Seems like it's the matter of a simple refund, how hard can it be?
CDSmith you are a cool guy in my book.... all I have to say is this is the first order I have had with DrDre and would use him again without thinking.... nothing but quality service and design.
I'm sorry if others have had a negative experience but I can only comment on my experiences.
I would direct anyone looking for quality work to DrDre without giving it a second thought

Actually, you're doing more harm to your business if you're staying in the dark like you did today. Everyone thinks you're hiding from something, which is not very good for reputation.
At least write a message saying you're talking with Juicylinks and trying to find a solution. That takes less than 10 secs.

Yes I know, but why did Acid Flyers come across as the hero to complete Juicy order?

I replied everybody's ICQ ... But fealing like how I was fealing today (mad and about to cry), this would not have been a good thing to post for me .
I know that from experience . I've said things I didn't mean in some threads before under the emotion . So I better just backoff and try to work things out .
Some people owe me money here ... been like that for a while now . And I don't bring things publicly . I don't work my shit publicly unless it's very necesarry .

You think that not giving a small statement will stop people from asking questions?
Hours is still enough to hurt a reputation.
Anyway, it's your business. I'm just giving my opinion.

Your response troll?
a) he didn't do the design

c) he may be cheap, but if you had gone direct to acidflyers it would have been cheaper, the quality product didn't come from him
It's great that you were pleased with the product and price, but backing up Dre with all your adulation is hilarious when he didn't do anything but order your cards, same thing you could have done.
"WTF, on google you can find the answer to every question in human history, EXCEPT how to convert cams..
Originally posted by NaughtyJenn ice.. i understand what your saying... but u gotta take note that dre didnt put in his order till monday... and yet told juicy that it was being shipped monday night...
im glad its all getting fixed right now though and nothing against dre just hate to see a good company like acidflyers get the negativity over someone biz...
Jenn ya know I love you and AJ..... shit happens though.... you have been there, I have been there and so has everyone in this business............
Even when I couldn't get ahold of DrDre.... it didn't make a difference....... he still completed the project in time and I am happy.
Shipping can be fucked sometimes... trust me I know.... I have sent shit out via.... FedEx, UPS, etc.... and it doesn't get there on time.....(sideline... I call and bitch to get the cost taken away)
Bottom line.... get shit done before you need it instead of freakin out..... I placed my order with DrDre weeks before I needed it which gave me time to deal with anything that could happen. If I was him and had a 1k job for a paysite to do and a 200 dollar business card deal on my plate, I would please the 1k job first and work extra to get the smaller jobs done.
You can't blame shipping issues on a designer if he has done everything he can.
Plan ahead and this issue would never have happened.

I still don't think you quite get it.
Let's say I think webmaster A is a "cool guy" and a good business man. Webmaster A has dealt me straight before and I am 100% happy with webmaster A. YOU however get a bad deal from webmaster A. You try to work it out with webmaster A, but webmaster A isn't around or is no longer interested in talking to you or whatever. You take your beef public because webmaster A, in your view, has left you no other alternative in the matter.
Would you want me jumping in the thread telling everyone what a great guy *I* think webmaster A is? You'd say "CD, who gives a shit what you think of him? I'm the one who's not happy here"...... that's what you'd say.
I can't explain it any better or clearer or simpler than that man. I hope you understand what I'm trying to lay out for you here. And no worries, you're an alright guy in my book too. We're just talking here as far as I'm concerned.

Hrmm ... where do you wanna find print job of the same quality ?
the only guys I see are envisionnextadult .
Do you know how much they charge for a business card ?
250 $ ...
I charge 75 $ (when I do the print, 100-150 when I don't) depending on the job .
I don't think that's too expensive .
2nd : I work with my graphist a lot . Spend couple hours working things out and I DO often modifications and sometimes full design (I did medium pimpin card design and some others).
So please shut your mouth until you know better . Cauz it would have actually cost him 5 $ more per set +25 $ for the design if he would have went to acid flyers and ordered it himself

Juicy has said he's happy, then all is again right with the world. Good enough for me.
Ice, you have one seriously good point in your last post.......
if people would quit leaving their business card orders to the last fucking minute every time an Internext rolls around this shit would not be happening. People need to stop forgetting about that guy Murphy and his damned law.
Cauz if you get design from me and order from acid, it will cost you pretty much the same then just ordering a design and going there yourself .
I charge 225 $ for design + 5000 cards
When I don't print, I charge 100 to 150 $ for a design.
He charges 130 $ for 5000
Ok so design + 5000 = 225
130 + 100 (basic good design) = 230

I don't think you guys understand that there are broker rates ... if I would want to beat his own prices with his own print compagny, I could ... actually that would not work long since he would probably shut me down ...
But still ... It aiin't more expensive to order from me then from him at the end .
Anyways I don't think I'ma take any new clients for that kind of job (except design) .
I'l build an automated system with very strict rules b4 I do that

I have been speaking to DrDre on icq and that is why he has been posting. Personal issues is personal..... if it going to affect his business, I'm sure he would let people know.
Shit.... he got my stuff done.... even with whatever he is going through... how many times have you done things for your business or income when you were dealing with personal issues?
We all put personal issues second in this industry..... if we don't then we don't make money. I have spent many nights working away when I would rather spend it with my woman, mother of my child to be, Jenn (Angeleyes) but she understands what needs to be done comes first.
Perspective people.... I put my life and family first but not at the expense of putting food on the table.
Originally posted by iceicebaby So shit went out a day late, etc.... shit happens.... deal with it.... people in the design business have more than your project on their plates...... you try to handle 12-20 jobs at a time and see how well you do.
How the fuck do you know what DrDre has on his plate..... you don't so STFU. Designers have more going on then what is important to you.... know that....
Spoken like a true idiot.
"shit went out a day late shit happens deal with it"
how bout your paycheck comes a month late cause your boss sent "shit out late"
fuck you and get real.
thats not how business is done.
when you gaurantee a time and date it better be done by then unless its communicated that there's a delay.
"you try to handle 12-20 jobs at a time and see how well you do."
hire more fucking people or dont take on what you cant handle. simple as that.
when i order something as a consumer i dont give a fuck what is on that companies plate.
I'm not saying that I've never did anything wrong thought ...
All I'm saying is that I've always made it right to everybody I've done business with . I've never argued over a refound and always treated my customer like a king .
Fuckups happen . You gotta know when to back down .
But I REALLY don't think I can be comparable to Hungryman like fletch said. I don't know if employing somebody is a crime fletch, but if it is, you tell me !
From now on, I will only take old clients for a while .
I will build a site where I offer my services / explain everything about it .
Put fix delays . You order that day, you use that kind of shipping that cost you that much and you get it that day .
That way there will be NO fuckups .

It's not like everyone is living under a rock. It's a new way to make business now. With internet and especially if someone is doing business on GFY you have to learn how to deal with those situations and fast.
Staying in the dark, not responding, even if you are talking with the rest of the planet on ICQ is the last fucking thing you want to do..

Yes we are cool CD.... but from my icq convo's, webmaster A has tried to talk to webmaster B....... and webmaster B has expressed frustration in the issue that shouldn't be there in the first place.
Some shit shouldn't be made public on the boards before it's time. We all look to the boards.... GFY, JBM, etc.... for info...... But I will not sit by and let DrDre get bashed when he has been nothing but solid with me.
If DrDre fucked me over... hell fucking yeah I would post it.... but I can't..... I would reccomend his services to anyone that needed them.
Originally posted by kush There's a right way to take things public, and there's a wrong way to take things public. I don't think Juicy used the best way to make it public.
Also I find it ironic that Dre will probably benefit from this thread with more new business
I doubt it ... lots of people bashing and not even knowing the situation .
And I don't really need / want new people . If they come I'l take it but seriously this is a lot of problem for little money.

Then instead of extolling the virtues of Dre, why not just tell Juicy that he jumped the gun on this, if that's what you think happened?
You must admit, it is damned annoying when two people have a beef, and some third party comes in and starts yapping about how great *he* was treated. I've never understood that tendancy some people have. My first instinct is to get the problem solved between the two people actually IN the dispute, not talk about myself and how I was dealt with.
Originally posted by iceicebaby Some shit shouldn't be made public on the boards before it's time .
Should juicy have waited til after internext to get a response about business cards he was told were shipped when they were not?
Come on now... I dont give a fuck what the work load is or how many employees someone has... If you tell me something I expect it to be true. Especially if I am paying you for it. Lets not forget the lies.

Nope, that's not good either, but if the person is a straight up no-shit business man then none of that shit talk will matter will it.

This is especially true in threads about hosting problems. Everyone starts bragging about how the host is rock solid and that the owner is such a great fucking guy.
There is nothing more frustrating when you're getting fucked, need some help and bringing the issue online because it is your last fucking hope.
it seems now i'm back drama is over, but let's see this
Originally posted by NoCarrier What kind of excuse you think DrDre will have this year?
I expect some people not believing his bullshit at first..
But after a couple of posts like they always do, people will start to say things like :
"DrDre is a good guy"
"DrDre has a solid reputation "
"DrDre can make kickass business cards"
"I've never had problems with DrDre, he's a good guy".
"DrDre has a big heart, he sent his kidney for free to some kid in Africa. "
Originally posted by jimmyf happens 99.8% of the time.
and I was wondering this also
Honestly I don't remember if it happened to recommend Dre here (I remember doing that over icq). I know he is truly a good guy and there was no chance to even make a reference to him if I believed it's somehow possible to see him scamming people left and right.
I never had a problem with him over a business issue and beside these two or so events we all read here in the past, which seems to had a valid excuse, none of the people I know had any problem with him or his work.
GFY is great tool to do business, but nothing (mistake, delay, error) is tolerated from the majority of members. Personally I try to handle these things outside gfy and bringing things here is always the last stand.
Webmasters endorse others for various reasons. Knowing someone is good to do a task and I'm confident he won't scam anyone, is enough for me to recommend him as a possible option. I do it only to assist the party seeking for something and for no other reason. Others do it in order to show they know a lot of people in this business, for a refferal % etc.

There is nothing more frustrating when you're getting fucked, need some help because bringing the issue online is your last fucking hope.
It happens on every type of dispute thread, everything from paid traffic to design brokers. Always someone will stand up for the guy and back their bro no matter what he's done or how much he fucked up, all because *they* are happy with whatever. Ignore the problem and back your friend..... I don't get it.
A true friend would tell their friend that they fucked up, tell them to make it right, and to not do it again.

shit fucking happens troll..... If I have to expect every check on time and they don't show up..... and I freak out.... then I'm not ready for this business.
If you can't deal with the curves this business can throw you, I suggest you go back to flipping burgers.
I have been fucked over by cc processors that have lost their merchant accounts (which resulted in me losing 2500 recurring members), hosting companys that have lost their backbone ( which resulted in my sites being down for weeks while I find and upload my sites to a new server), affiliate programs that I have sent traffic to that have fucked me over to the tune of 25K for one month, etc.....
This is a volatile business we are in and if all my "eggs" were in one "basket" I would have been dead in this industry long ago.
But because I am not a moron.... I'm still around today... getting stronger by the minute.
You are only as weak as you make yourself, and if your issue becomes others..... is it their fault?
All of this drama and bull shit over something that could have been easily handled? That's fucked up. This issue was handled terribly.
The way people handle problems tells a great deal about someone. This whole drama speaks volumes.
It just hurts more then other things ... I just felt like crying my ass when I've seen the thread . anyways

I can agree there and I think DrDre has responded. I just don't want to see someones reputation trashed over a misunderstanding considering it has been resolved
Originally posted by iceicebaby I can agree there and I think DrDre has responded. I just don't want to see someones reputation trashed over a misunderstanding considering it has been resolved
Well yeah, he has responded but hours later and that's a no no..
Anyway, I'm pretty sure he learned his lesson today. There's nothing more to add about it.
Not tryin to stir stuff up here but if my memory is correct i saw a thread yesterday were juicy was calling out Doctor Dre to reach juicy but Doctor Dre's reply was" i will hit you up im going to sleep now" or something along those line.now by looking at this thread it looks like he still has not contacted juicy before this thread was started. My question is was that thread related to this one? correct me if i am wrong on this
