Last update: 7 October 2010
Several people have received their items or full refunds and I've updated the list to reflect this. If your problem is solved, leave a reply and I'll remove your information from the list. For those who have not received any word from Mashimaro Girl, you should email payments[at]mashimaro-girl[dot]com
10 September 2010: MG is sending out packages again. If you received yours, post a reply here so I can update.
Update 16 August 2010:
Thread for appealing to people living near the owners' probable address to seek some action: THIS WAY
Probable personal contact information about the owners can be found in the last few posts of this thread.
A rundown of what has happened so far:
Most of this is info that has been exchanged between me and their staff Kate / K /
- Since Mid-January,
- Fei sent one email to Kate saying she was ill but would be sorting out our orders (which spawned the creation of the list of customers below in a bid to help Fei expedite matters). Obviously, that has not been happening.
- Kate's friend went to
-
- Kate just received word from the owners on 4 April 2010 that Fei has been hospitalized all this while due to a serious h.pylori bacterium infection. She's not being allowed to travel until the infection is entirely eradicated and the illness has been keeping her away from the computer. They are hoping that the illness will clear up by end April latest. At this point of time, if you have been trying to email them, you may find that your emails are not being responded to. Don't take this personally, as the only person who's answering emails now is Kate and she hasn't been able to reach the owners to supply you with the information you need
- Latest update 8 June 2010: Fei emailed Kate stating that (i) She popped back to the US for a bit and handed a couple of girls their items (ii) Fei is back in China now but she will arrange to do all refunds / shipping end June. (iii) Fei currently has bad internet connection but she has updated the shop email's auto-reply with this information so perhaps you might like to email her to see it.
- Latest update 28 July 2010: Apparently, nobody else had heard about their stuff and mashimarogirl isn't responding to emails again. I really have no words for this situation.
Do note that Kate /
a) does not handle the accounts at MG as far as money goes, b) does not have access to the PayPal account associated with the store, c) has not been paid wages since November and has not received items that were ordered for people in a group order d) is incapable of getting the items mailed out.
If it is not too late for you, you are strongly advised to file a dispute and escalate it to a claim if you have not done so. 3 people have received full refunds from Paypal so far.
If it is too late for you to file a dispute and you want to contact them, here's some contact info you can try, although I have to warn you that Kate and I have tried these channels and did not find any to be useful.
Physical location:
1078 Mid Rivers Mall
St. Peters, MO 63376
Shop phone number:
+1 (636) 397-9998
For your info, this location is primarily Realitea, Liang's tea shop. He let his wife Fei put her stock in his shop. That's probably why operations of the tea shop aren't affected even if Mashimaro Girl stock isn't coming in.
I have removed Liang's supposed personal contact info because in light of things, I don't think he will have the time or mood to address your inquiries. Besides, if they were useful, one of you would surely have gotten in contact with him.
Please note that the list was originally made when we assumed that Fei, while ill, would be dealing with our orders. It's been forever since I made this post and nobody has heard about their stuff. Nevertheless, I will still list your info if you post it.

I paid on 19 Jan and communication broke after that. If they actually invoiced you between 19th to 27th, then lack of internet connection is really a dodgy excuse.

II) Kidsyoyo Miss Duke blouse, black

III) Dear Celine Sweet Embroidery blouse, white
http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_det
Amount Paid: 269 USD
Date of payment: November 19th, 2009
Expected shipping period:
The order was supposed to take about a month to be made, so it should've been shipped somewhere around December 20th~25th. I sent them an email on the 21st to inquire about the status of my order, they replied on the 23rd with the following:
"Hi, we've received everything except for the Dear Celine blouse. We contacted Dear Celine about your blouse, and they said that they were about to ship your blouse, but then found a stain on it. They contacted their manufacturer, but the manufacturer said there is no more material to replace the stained part. Dear Celine offers to refund the blouse and not ship it.
Please let us know what you want to do. If you want to take the refund, we will go ahead and ship the rest of your items ASAP.
Thank you very much."
I would've preferred to be notified of this directly without having to ask for info but I knew what to expect communication-wise when I ordered, so I didn't mind.
I asked for the blouse to be remade in plain white cotton, after a bit of back-an-forth they confirmed that DC agreed to remake my blouse on the 28th.
I sent them an email asking to get an update on the 30th of January, they replied on February 3rd with the following:
"Gabrielle,
Right now, the member of our staff who communicates with the warehouse is traveling in China. This means I am unable to ascertain the status of shipped and pending orders. I'm trying to get a hold of them, but at the moment have had no response. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you, and hope that you can bear with us while we sort through the mess.
Thank you very much."
I'm not all that worried to be honest but I thought I'd write down my info as well for clarity's sake since I'm in a similar situation.
Action required: ship my order asap. i'm in no hurry, but...yeah.

Amount Paid: $308
Date of payment: December 28 and 29, 2009
Expected shipping period: March 2010
Action required: Please send us an updated status of our order.
My cousin (LJ id: echorin) and I ordered 3 items from them late December, but we asked for discounted EMS instead of airmail, and agreed that items will be shipped out at the beginning of March. However, I would really like an update, because I think my custom sized order from Rose Melody should have been or almost finished. We didn't hear back if my Rose Melody order was placed, accepted or when it would be expected to be finished. Communication kind of died after the payment. I was not too worried and did not want to open a dispute, but just a small update would be appreciated.
We would like to get our items before April.

Expected shipping period: They told me sometime "soon after" Jan 15, 2010.
My last email from them (on Jan 15, 2010):
"We checked the status of your order. The JSK has arrived in our warehouse, and the Infanta skirt has just been shipped out by the seller. We should expect to receive it by the end of next week, and we will ship everything out soon after that."
The only other communication I've gotten since then was the email from K telling me that she's lost contact with the warehouse people, and then the automated reply.
Action required: Just ship my order ASAP, please.
