I had a pair of glasses that were still under warranty break almost two months ago now, completely unusable now. I contacted support the same day it happened and was told they would get replaced, I just had to pay the $50 fee. Ever since, I've been waiting to hear that they're ready for me, to ask for payment information, anything that tells me I'm close to getting my new glasses. Nothing but useless "we take this matter very seriously and are working hard to resolve the issue" type emails since then.

Yeah? Well, I'm not really taking it seriously anymore. Here's the solution, I give you $50, you give me new glasses. There, problem solved, took me 5 seconds to figure out what's taking them months.

Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated. Is this normal? Should I be doing something to move this ridiculous wait along?

Hi, this question is not exactly about mtg, but I don't really know where else to go. If I should post somewhere else, please direct me there. (I did already try posting in a custom card making sub and pretty much copy-pasted my post from there. I just feel like this sub might be a little closer to what I need.)

As the title says, I got the idea of printing proxies of Pokémon cards for some of my kids who I have gotten into playing the actual Pokémon TCG instead of just staring at their cards and trading them around like normal kids. It is one of my proudest achievements. I really want this to work out, but I've never tried anything like this before, so I'm looking for tips from people who have printed their own cards before.

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 printer and a paper slicer already. I've found a few websites that should help me print the sheets. I have a couple of concerns right away and maybe more as I go on.

1. Big obvious first one; cost. I want so badly to be able to give these cards out for free, but I know I'd need to buy a lot of materials to make it happen. I discussed the possibility of selling the cards at very low cost to the kid's parents with my boss, but neither of us likes that idea very much. My boss offered to cover the cost of making them instead, but that will, of course, only happen if I can keep that cost reasonably low. I would love it if someone could point me in the direction of the best prices for cardstock, colored ink, and whatever else I may be forgetting.

2. Quality. This may clash a little with point #1, but I would like these proxies to be of decent quality. They don't need to be perfect, I'm definitely not trying to trick anyone into believing they're real cards. But they do need to be readable and playable in our playground games. I am also putting these cards in the hands of children as young as six years old, so they can't crumble to dust the moment someone touches them. I've read that most proxies need to be sleeved to not get ruined on first use? A lot of my kids do have sleeves, but not all of them, and those that do mostly just for their own decks they already have. I feel bad telling them they would have to unsleeve their current cards or buy new sleeves. Maybe there's better cardstock out there that could go sleeveless without costing way more, but I'm not holding my breath, I could just bite the bullet on that one.

Thanks in advance for any tips, and sorry again if I'm in the wrong sub. As a long-time card game lover, I'm entering a world that is so familiar yet so foreign to me at the same time with all of this

Just got burned by Knightweave, buying a suncloak that gets way to warm to actually use on hot sunny days. Looking to get something else and I'm wondering what people can tell me about the one I found with the link below. Main thing I'm looking for is something to avoid sunburn over the summer (I live in the Midwest) while also not getting too hot while wearing it. New to all of this, so sorry if these things are simple and obvious to everyone else.

Like the title says, I just got my first suncloak from knightweave. I know there are some mixed opinions about KW, but the main one being that they're overpriced. The suncloak is much cheaper, and I just need it to keep the sun off me on hot days anyway. Though they did go on sale the week after I got mine, RIP (,:

Anyway, I am mostly happy about it. It does keep the sun off of me. It's very comfortable and fun to wear. They're advertised as lightweight and breathable so you don't get too warm wearing it, and I'm sure they are more so than their warm, heavy cloaks. But when I got it, it was still heavier than I was expecting, and I found myself getting very warm in it very quickly. It's not terrible by any means, but it does kinda defeat the purpose of wearing it on a hot day.

I'm new to cloaks, so maybe this is some skill issue. Are there any tricks I could use to avoid warming up too quickly? The only thought that's popped into my head is cutting it in some places where my clothes block the sun anyway, but I'd hate for that hole to become a big tear.

I've had a pair of Gen 1 wayfarers for almost a year and a half now. I work at a daycare, so I'm no stranger to having sport balls hit me in the face every now and then. A few months back, a basketball hit my glasses at a rough angle, and the touchpad on the side hasn't worked since. Sucked, but managable, everything worked just fine otherwise.

Today, I took a kickball to the face at close range. I didn't think it hit that hard and didn't notice any issues at first, but when I got home, I was hit with the "speakers not working" error. I've tried restarting, factory reset, nothing. Not a single sound comes out of them no matter what.

Looking for advice on what to do from here. If I recall, warranty is only for a year (in the US where I live). Is there anywhere that they can be repaired for less than the cost to buy a new pair? Or am I looking at buying new ones at full price?
