his is a warning to anyone thinking about buying a jersey from Weikitrade. This will take a while, but please read before you waste any money ordering a product from them. I am sorry that this is so long, but you will understand when you have read all of it. Please show some kindness to your other board members and don’t quote this entire thing. Also my person email appears thoughout this, you can write to me if you want.
This past February I purchased two Jerseys from Weikitrade; a Dalton for myself and an Odom for my son. Both jerseys were listed on their web page, I filled out the information for them and paid through PayPal. The total came to $75, two jerseys at $25 each, and $50 for shipping. I got them about two weeks later and only removed the Dalton jersey, because the Odom jersey was for my son’s birthday.
When my son opened his give he did have a #98 Jersey, but the name on the back was “MIKAELE”. This was really bad because not only was it my son’s birthday give, but I had no idea who this player was. I immediately wrote to Weikitrade Kenny and explained the problem, he responded asking for a pic of the Jersey, which I immediately sent him.
He told me that he would replace the Jersey with anything I’d like; I then asked for a #97 Atkins Jersey. The next email I got from them explained that they didn’t have any “Atkins” jerseys, but when they got some in he would send one to me “As part of my next order”. This guy actually expected me to order and pay for another jersey and shipping so he could include the Atkins jersey. Below is the actual emails, I will have the actually emails bold and in Italics. Remember this is his replies to me, so my questions to him are on the bottom with his reply on top. My comments to the reader is in
RED.
Sorry for the mistake . we would add one on your next order .Hope for your understanding .

Hi,
Please hold off on the 98 Odom Jersey. Is it possible to replace it with a #97 Atkins Jersey?
Brad Barnes
Sorry .out of stock
2012/3/28 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
Hi, I've been checking your site often and you are still offering the same Bengals Jerseys. Do you have any item when you will offer other Bengals Jerseys? I'm interested in Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and BenJarvis Green-Ellis.
Thanks
And….
Hello Brad .
so you choose to refund the money ,right ? we can only refund the money for the jersey .as you know . we ship your package already .and pay for shipping before . let me know .thanks . or we can also add one on your next order. thanks

Hi,
I wrote to you sometime ago about a mistake that was made by your company when I order an Antwan Odem Cincinnati Bengals Jersey; see the emails below.
I have been waiting for your company to make a Cincinnati Bengals "Atkins" or "Dunlap" jersey but it hasn't happened yet. Please refund the amount of my purchase and shipping costs. Let me know when this is done and how/when I can expect the refund.
Thank you.
`
.
And now this, he is accusing me of making the mistake.
hello brad .
sorry for a delay to your question . after i checked . i found that the #98 Bengals is of the right player when you place the order . and now the number is wared by other player . pls check .thanks
2012/7/22 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
That's right, I just want the refund.
Thanks
Brad Barnes
Then I tried to get a BJGE Jersey, and got this response:
Hello Brad .
the BenJarvis Green-Ellis Jersey is out of stock as well .pls pick up another jersey and we will add it to your next order for free .ok ? let me know .
2012/9/12 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
Please send me Item#:12062705424318, Cincinnati Bengals BenJarvis Green-Ellis Jersey, size 48 (XL) Black
This should make up for the Jersey that was sent to me by mistake in February (see emails below).
I am very unhappy with what has happened with correcting this order. I have bought 4 Jersey's in the past and have always been happy and have referred friends to you. I do expect you to send me this jersey, at no additional cost, to make things right.
`
Thanks
And here is where PayPal is “frozen”;
Hello Brad
very sorry for everything . first of all . we just wanna refund the money to your account .but our paypal is frozon now .and unable to send money so that we come out the idea if we can send you the jersey on your order . really sorry about everything .
2012/9/13 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
WOW, this is unbelieveable. I've never had this kind of problems with your company before. Like I've said in the past this was a birthday gift for my son. He actually wanted a Bengals Carlos Dunlap or Geno Atkins jersey. When I saw you had Green-Ellis I decided that would be alright too. All of your competitors have Atkins or Dunpap Jerseys an I've come very close to ordering from them, but I wanted to see if you would make your mistake right. I've asked for a refund and still haven't received that eithe
You need to correct this very soon!! I'm really fed up with your customer service, I know a lot of people that go to you for their jerseys from a Bengals message board that I read and contribute to. I will let them know what a difficult time I have had.
I don't believe I should have to make a "New" order to get what is owed me. I paid for a Jersey and shipping and it was not the CORRECT Jersey. You should send me what I request and not charge me a dime anything for the jersey or for shipping. This was YOUR mistake.
Please correct this immediately. Please send a size 48 Dunlap, Atkins or Green-Elliis Cincinnati Bengals Jersey. If not I will let everyone know on the web site of all the problems I have had.
Then this reply:
but i\;ve checked for you . all the three ones are out of stock .
And then we go back to this again:
we would like just to apply a full refund to your account but our paypal is frozen .that's really troublesome .so that i ask you to add another one jersey into next order .really sorry for everything.
2012/9/17 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
You need to make this right very soon! It's odd that everything I'm asking for is out of stock.
Brad Barnes
Hello brad
but the player changed his name indeed after your purchase . i have confirmed with my factory .let me know
2012/9/19 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
Hi,
I am not planning on buying another jersey from you company until this is resolved. This was a mistake made on your end and needs to be corrected as soon as possible. I should not have to pay shipping again since I received the wrong jersey. I have always been happy in the past with your jerseys, but I'm not going to spend any more money until I know you will make things right with this problem.
Brad Barnes
At that point I sent him a copy of the original invoice again, only to get this. Note the date, it’s gone from February to September.
Hello brad . i would like to refund you from the very beginning but as i have said . our account is frozen .and we accept visa card and western union only now . so that i ask if you can add one free on your next order or your friend's order .
2012/9/19 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
Below is the original order, and I attached a picture of the Jersey you sent me. You can see on the order that I ordered a Cincinnati Bengals #98 Black Odom Jersey, and I was sent a #98 Black Mikaele Jersey. Enough of this messing around I want this corrected immediately. If your paypal is not working then you can not receive any order at all correct? So, that means that anyone that wants to order a jersey from you now has to wait or can't do it. I doubt this very much! I also doubt that you are out of all the jerseys I have requested. You being in China doesn't give me any option to take action against you, like we have in the United States. However, I can let everyone on the Cincinnati Bengals message board and on the internet know what a problem I have had with you, and I am very close to doing so. This was NOT my mistake! FIX THIS NOW!
Brad Barnes
Ok, now making progress???
sorry about everything brad
you can place the order online .and add the free jersey on the "leave a message"form . i will add it to your order .thanks . let me know
2012/9/30 Brad Barnes <blbarnes@yahoo.com>
Hi,
I guess you do not understand. I will NOT order another jersey in order to get the one that is owed me. Please send the Jersey I have requested immediately for free. It is the only way you can make this right.
Let me know if I need to fill out an order form and what I need to write on it to get the free Jersey. Like I said, I will not order a new one in order to get what is owed me. Also, please give me your supervisors name and email so I can write him directly.
Brad Barnes

Ok, so that was on October 9th, and they haven’t responded. This is what I wrote two days ago and I haven’t heard anything back.
Ok, this is the last time I will be writing to you. You have cheated me and lied to me over and over again. My next step will to make public how dishonest your company is.
Below is an order I placed in February of 2012; it was for a birthday present and you sent the WRONG jersey. I asked for a #98 Antwan Odom Black Jersey and you sent me a #98 Mikaele Jersey. Below is a copy of the original invoice so do not lie to me again saying I asked for that jersey. I have the proof, I have the original invoice from you and a picture of the WRONG Jersey.
I wrote a few weeks ago and you said the invoice would be sent and the jersey would be in the mail in 3-days. ANOTHER LIE!
You have until 1 November 2012 to prove to me you are correcting this error. I should get it free and with free shipping since the error was entirely on your side. If this is not corrected by 1 November 2012; I will post a comment on the Bengals Message board explaining how dishonest you are and I will show them the same proof you have here. I will not only go to the Bengals Message board but I will go to every teams message board in the entire NFL. It's your choice
