Very disappointing experience with the official Linkin Park store
I ordered a €40 cap from the official Linkin Park store on 15 July and paid €11.45 for tracked shipping. At the time of ordering, the advertised delivery time was 2–5 working days.
Instead, I waited more than a month. The expected delivery date was repeatedly postponed, the tracking information was unusable, and I had to contact customer service myself several times. Eventually I was informed that the item had actually been out of stock and had to be reordered — despite being shown as available when I placed and paid for my order.
The cap finally arrived on 22 August. After such a long wait, I was shocked by the packaging: there was no protective packaging for the cap at all. No plastic bag, no insert to preserve its shape — nothing. The €40 cap had simply been placed inside the mailing package completely unprotected and arrived with visible creases/deformation.
This is especially disappointing for merchandise purchased directly from an official store. I expected much better handling of the product and much better customer service.
I have contacted customer service and requested only a refund of the €11.45 shipping charge, which I consider more than reasonable considering the delay, lack of useful tracking, repeated correspondence and inadequate packaging.
Unfortunately, after this experience I would not order from this store again and cannot recommend it.
