Has anyone gotten a message from "Andy?" He sent me a message a few hours after I placed my order when my first attempt got denied by my credit card.

Because they are not V2s. They are the "sports" version with the logo taken off. The ears are different material to the rest of the shoe and toe box is the same size as the HC.
His were V2 because they had the blue NIKE on the strap, a SWOOSH and the letters on the back.

Towards the end, they went crap on the paint (splatter) and these look like they have been crushed in to look more like the real shoe.
They are V2 though.

Ok, So I ended up cancelling my order. First let me start by saying this. BUYER BEWARE! Now that I got that out of the way, here's the spill...
...So I've already mentioned that I was over charged by over thirty some odd dollars. I even went as far as to bite the bullet and accept defeat as long as the shoes turn out great. Well, unfortunately not all things are meant to be.
So my CC company calls me today with an alert on a second charge of the same amount and if I aprove. Which clearly I don't. I only purchased once. So my CC declined the transaction at my request. This pissed me off. First the over charge, now this. Hell no!
So I go to the site, got with the live agent, and requested to cancel my first and original order immediately. It's about principle at this point.
At first the agent was reluctant. Even went as far as to offer me a discount for a future purchase or a free Jersey if I choose to not cancel?! Are you kidding me!
I stood my ground to cancel.
Told the agent they are wrong to over charge behind my back after processing the payment. Brought up some legal points in banking exchanges and international laws. Which by then, I was re-fed the lie about the international banking system and exchange rates blah blah. I called them on their BS.
So only then did they decide to cancel my order... ...only to then tell me that I will only get 94% refunded as the other 6% will be taken for their banking fees!
At this point, I lost it. So after yet another legal rant on my end, calling them on their BS. They finally agreed for the full refund.
I called back my CC company to detail the entire situation word for word. My CC explained that every excuse I was given is simply untrue, plus it's a horrible business practice. It's called fraud! But hey, these thing happen a lot overseas from where this company is from I'm told.
My CC company will keep an eye out for this refund. So if only partial comes back, CC will give me the full amount and proceed to flag the company from their end. It's a 7-10 day wait, but non the less I'm covered.
So after all that, anyone who got shoes fair and square, got lucky. It seems at this point, I would not trust this company.
So you all be careful when dealing with these shady folks.

...Wow. That's all I can say to that. Wow. I need a personal opinion. Should I get the V3's? If any of you could help, it would be much appreciated http://www.strawpoll.me/10884468

I understand the concerns over being charged more than the final total - it happened to me as well. I did contact them and they refunded me $30 which I was happy with. I stayed cool the whole time since I really want these V3s. I'm still waiting for my tracking number but hopefully they arrive this week.
To me they seem to be worth the risk. Plus CC companies usually have your back.
Good luck everyone.

So not worth the risk!
I really wanted those V3's. But not enough to be over-charged, twice! ...Just not worth it.
Indeed good luck to all.

When ordering with these sites, I feel its always safest to use a card. Using a credit card I have absolutely no worries. I would never pay western union (even though the discount might be tempting) These websites sometimes get taken down or have to change names ect. With a credit card if all else fails you can do a charge back, but chances are they will refund you 100% if you start bringing up stuff like that.
Also... double charging your card could of been an accident. It happens sometimes...even from large legit companies. I guess I am slightly bias towards them though as they have been very helpful to me and fixing the mistakes on my first pair that I received, but I am still cautious lol. My only real gripe is the extra fee after checkout, if the price shows $599 that's all that should be charged to the card of course. Just know that you'll end up probably paying $630...other then that I mean they aren't perfect but they deliver and I am personally loving mine.

Western Union charges like a $55 fee so don't think it's such a good deal using them.

It should be based on a percentage of the amount you are sending. If I was to send $2000, their fee is $28 here in Australia. These shoes are no where near 2 grand.
I just went back n forth with the live chat person about the extra $30 charge. They tried to claim that is was from the "issuing bank" but I kept telling them my credit card doesn't charge international transaction fees. Then they said "Maybe it was our bank?" Seems like they should know that.
I also told them they should list the shoes $30 cheaper if their bank is going to add an extra fee. It's clearly BS.
I was offered a $30 discount on my next pair, and they would rush my shipping. I reminded them I needed to see QC pics first. They said of course, but I would need to give them a quick reply when I get the pics because they need to ship them quickly.
It's starting to feel like the usual Chinese hustle.
