"Artists Beware"

This is my first time posting here, since I generally try to avoid talking badly of an artist I have done business with. But I have been waiting a while, and I hope this helps.

UPDATE: So he's sent it, I got photographic proof and a shipping number, despite the harsh email I recieved back for posting this up. Obviously not taking this down as I haven't even mentioned his name etc etc blah. But yes, Shipping DID infact cost $195, the reason was that it was Delivery on signature of Adult, Guranteed shipping arrival of 27th October, and Canada Post will be the carrier the entire way though till it hits Aus, then its FEDEX (I see why it cost so damn much now.) As USPS/UPS and Australia Post could not match the delivery date until 2nd November. Thanks all!

I bought a full-suit of a black werewolf made by temperance and a freelance fursuit maker off ebay, but not from an actual fursuiter, but someone who had used the costume as a halloween costume and decided that he wanted to sell it. I wanted to get it before this years halloween. I bought it in September, having paid the full amount on the 25th September, a full month pretty much just so I knew it would get here in time from Canada to Australia. More behind the cut.
