What should I do?

[Beachie]

Did you PM her last night? any luck?

----

I think my approach would have been something along "hello, I still haven't received that custom video unfortunately, if maybe you haven't shot it yet, would you be so kind to do so asap? I'd love to hear back from you before the weekend. If it's all done and uploaded, could you paste the link right here? then we're all done. thank you "

of course, with better grammar and what Jolene said, but I would have given her a windows to open up about it not being finished as well as a deadline, because she could probably drag this out forever.
so if you take this approach you can send her one last message on friday saying you're done waiting and taking the problem to MFC support.

Unfortunately, nope... As soon as I wanted to try and PM her (read: thought of something I would say), she had gone offline and I wanted to wait with sending an MFC Mail, until I got some feedback

I took the previous bits into account and came up with the following, does this look okay-ish?

Hey hey!

Sorry to bother you right now, but I have not received the link for the video yet? There were some issues with for example MFC Mail, but you did mention it was filmed, edited and done uploading and it has been a while since we last spoke. So could you please try sending it again? Either through MFC Mail, which should work fine again, PM or e-mail.

If, for some reason, the video isn't finished yet, whether it's still in editing or something, I will definitely understand as well! I would appreciate it if you kept me in the loop though! Just let me know what's going on and I will understand, as long as it won't take forever .

Hope to hear back from you!

Might want to just give up and move on. You paid for a product that should of taken a few days, it has now been weeks. You can continue wasting your time trying to get the video or you can just take it as a learning experience. Realize that a lot of models aren't responsible or are just lazy scammers, and do your best to find good ones. The more time you waste on this bum, the less time you'll have to enjoy the good ones.

I noticed a few thanks, which is awesome of course, so cheers for those, appreciate it! Is it safe to assume, mainly because of the few 'thanks' by models on the above compiled message, that the draft is sort of safe to send to her?

I probably will after this; for me it's not so much about the video anymore, but more basic principles... If I'm not getting the video, sure. But I'd just like to give her one last chance, since all contact thus far has been 'positive'. There's been no video or link produced, but there was no cursing or whatever.
If she still doesn't want to send or create the video, sure. I'll ask for a refund through support, if that doesn't work out, then I'll happily leave it for what it is

I think that's a well-written message and hopefully she'll respond. At this point I don't see the harm in firing off one more email; can't hurt to try. I hope you get it!

I'm always a little surprised at all the custom video scams I hear about on these pages. I have never been stiffed on a custom video on MFC, and I've gotten at least a dozen over the last few years...from several models.

I have been stiffed on Streamate but it was usually a pretty casual thing...like "high tipper in the Gold Show gets a custom video." Not that that makes it right, but I'd be in a constant state of anxiety if I worried about them all that much. lol

I kind of wonder if we hear about so many because guys just randomly buy customs from girls that are offering them and not girls they're familiar with?

I'd say not always. I've known one model for about two years now... and she's owed me a Skype show for a year or so. When I bring it up she always says that weekend, but then is never around. Another one I thought I knew has owed me one for 3 years. I'm pretty sure I'm never getting either one.

So, no, it's not always going to be the random models who don't live up to things. Hell, I've gotten more videos from cheap sales of random models than any other type of video purchasing on MFC. Most of them MFC mailed the links right after the tip.

Muchas gracias Gen, appreciate it!

I have sent the mail about an hour ago and have just received a response. Basically she confirmed it's completed and she just got side tracked & forgot. Supposedly (and hopefully), she'll send the link when she gets home from work, through both MFC Mail as well as e-mail, trying to make sure I get it.
She's being totally nice, so that's a plus I guess, but it still looks a bit off to me. Side-tracked (her wording) for a day or so, sure, but if you see me online after a while should remind you? Ah well, I'll just leave it be for now and give her like until the end of the weekend, plenty more days than just today, if I still haven't received it by then, I might contact support?

For now, it looks like she still 'likes' me, without shouting or cursing back at me and I'll wait a few days .

Thanks again for the input, I'll inform everyone of developments, if any

Well, good news! :dance:

I had MFC open for a while, just idling, watching some tv and I received an MFC mail. Without getting my hopes up, I opened it and there was a very brief message along with a link, the video! If I had known up front she would 'take' this long, which I would obviously totally understand and for many reasons already underlined in this thread, I would have been a happy camper, without having the need to create this thread . Just the fact she mentioned it was ready that got me confused... She apologized a number of times and in the end, so did I for the mail I sent her - basically being 'open' saying I wasn't sure what to do since it's been a while since we spoke, etcetera. Either way, after the mail, I dropped in her room, had a quick chat and then went to sleep. Of course, after downloading the video :lol:
I've watched it and I guess it's exactly what I asked for, apart from a small thing but after reading back our conversations I didn't make that bit clear enough, so that's on me. In regards to the editing; yeah, it shouldn't have taken a lot longer than it did, nothing real fancy, but the rendering, etcetera will have taken quite a while, I imagine.

Either way, I won't rant about this any further haha, I eventually received the video and it looks like everything is fine between the model and myself in the end!

I would just like to thank everyone once again for their time, patience & advice in the replies! Also for not immediately bashing a 'new' member without any posts in the past whatsoever, for his first post being a 'complaint'.

After all that frustration and worry, don't forget to back it up onto and external. :lol:

Seriously, I lost 3 vids when I did not back them up. :icon-cry:
