Do NOT buy at the French Tailor in Beijing/Shanghai

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Why??? Here is why…

- fitting agreed at 5pm / after waiting for 20 min I call her and asks where she is (it seems there is no need from her to inform me if she is late for an appointment) / she tells me she is there in 5 min

- 20 min later no one is there / I call her again / she says she will be there in 1 min

- another 20 min later she arrives / I ask her if she could not call before or give me a more realistic timing so I could have gone for a coffee or do something / no answer from her

- fitting: suit does not fit - too tight on the chest / comment Joey: must be made new - will take 6-8 weeks

- I tell her I will not wait for 6 weeks

- after discussion she wants to see the first suit to measure it / she wants to come tomorrow evening / I tell her I have already appointments which I cannot move tomorrow / SHE proposes to go than NOW to my place / I agree

- Waiting for 2-3min for a taxi / get in it and are on our way for 1min / suddenly Joey says she CANNOT go / she has another customer who def. cannot wait

- I snap and ask her if I am a client second class because obv. for me it is ok to wait for 1h / she says again the other client really cannot wait / I ask her why SHE proposed than anyway to go now / no answer

- I talk to her boss (Guillaume - finally she can go now

- we arrive at my place and measure the suit / she agrees that the second one is different than the first one and fits much better

- she measures it / after 10 min she says the collar is different and needs another ironing / can be done in 2-3 days (why this cannot be detected without the first suit is a real miracle for me)

- I talk to her boss again

- end of the story

3h of my live I will not get back! :-)
