I'd like to mention that this is based on my experience and from what I heard from those who ordered along with me. Doing this because they removed the reviews from their Facebook page.

I ordered below merch around 2nd week of May and received confirmation emails on May 17 and 19. They also had this "Pay before you order" scheme sooooo as soon as we ordered, we were paid already. This applied to most merch from them since that was their order form's setup.

They made a GC where they made updates on the merch. Cute nga kasi there are a lot of people din so I was also thinking na "Ah trusted kasi madami"

May 24. They provided an update regarding the orders, especially those from GMMTV pa. At this time, okay pa naman and they even mentioned that they were "In a meeting with GMMTV"

Jun 4. Tutor Kao totebags arrived in their Thai address, but no news on my Gifted Brooch. Order placed by this time and waiting for delivery daw so sige.

Jun 18. Waiting for other merch para mapaship sya to PH so sige, sayang nga naman SF. Other GMMTV Merch is being followed up pa daw so okay, waiting on Gufted Brooch.
Around this time, yung friend ko, nakaorder na ng Gifted Brooch din from a different shop. Okay skl.

Jul 5. Happy Monthsary sa Tutor Kao bag ko sa Thai Address nila. Tapos yung GMMTV merch order placed padin, one month na? Bakit kaya? E yung Gifted Brooch naman is in stock sa GMMTV shop and di pa naman ubos so bat ang tagal?
Yung sa friend ko In Transit na from Thai to PH.

Jul 20. Ishiship na daw Totebag and Sotus gear PERO wala paring update si Brooch. People were mad sa updates GC that they mentioned that delays were due to "foreign nationals not being allowed to commute", then a day later, "lifted na yung ban" when they quoted Ms. Jezah.

Jul 23, they posted on their FB page na in transit na "See you Philippines" daw with the tag "We will let our merch talk on Ctrl's behalf".
Una, di nyo merch yan, re-sell lang yan. Di kayo yung nagtahi ng bags at naghulma ng gears. Pangalawa, service nyo magsasalita for you

July 24, they sent this to the updates GC. Thank you for the thought PERO ang kelangan po namin solid updates at hindi half-assed apology na magbibigay din kayo ng freebies, heck we don't need that. Kaso ano pa nga ba
PeteKao Tumblers were mentioned here, kwento later~

Jul 25, I mentioned them sa GC but they responded via PM na they will update once they have the tracking numbers. Medyo napahiya lolo nyo dun sa Songkran (sorry na di ko alam e) pero wala parin silang solid assurance na maibigay. Considering na hindi pa Songkran holiday neto

Jul 27, di na nakatiis lolo nyo. Nagparefund na sa GCash, and gladly, narefund naman. Yung Gifted brooch. Wala nako magagawa sa Tutor Kao totebag kasi in transit na nga daw as we spoke this time, pero at least naisalba ko yung Php890 ko

Jul 30. They sent another message about the shipment of the item. Ayan palang. Wala pang tracking number kasi "Fast Track Global" does not give out tracking numbers agad, or has not yet given tracking numbers, idk pero yan yung last solid update na meron.

As of writing, wala paring update from them. And hindi ko alam kung ano balak nila kasi ghinoghost nanaman po nila kami at naging rant GC na yung Customer Updates GC pero baka naman CTRL pakigalaw yung baso. Yung sa friend ko, padating na Gifted Brooch nya, totebag when?

Additional stories: PeteKao Tumbler
Apparently, from this shop, some people ordered PeteKao tumblers kasi they "were able to secure 10 pieces" around May-Jun, di ko lang sure. Turns out, wala pala talagang nasecure and it was only brought to light when they released this

Further, considering na "Pay before you order" ang scheme nila, bakit hindi agad nasecure? This applies to most of their orders. Bitter lang talaga ako. Buti sana kung masipag kayo sumagot.

Additional Story: Shipment delay
A friend of mine na kasama kong umorder ng brooch, sent this on July 26 sa GC. Okay, pwede kasing magkaiba ng courier kaya nagkakadelays, pero ayun nga, wala naman delays. Funny how CTRL mentioned na may delays pero nagship sila on Jul 29

I won't be deleting this EVEN IF they fix it from this point moving forward kasi nga, it's a warning to future buyers. Further, lesson dapat sa kanila ito na hindi sila manloloko ng tao kasi we've been fooled enough, we've been patient enough, and it's time to warn others.

You also can't tell patience is a virtue kung niloloko ka na kasi duh, I've been ordering KPop merch since 2016 and wala pang pandemic, may delays na talaga. Pero yung gantong delays tas di makapagprovide ng proof? Pffft. Please. Very suspicious behavior po yung ganon.
