OVERALL SATISFACTION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with the overall buying experience, including your interactions with the maker and the resulting final product.

---

How was your concept art realized?
I made my first reference sheet myself, with a MFY fursuit in mind, but when I compare my later portrait reference sheet with the head piece, I think they made an outstanding job at respecting the concept art.


How well does everything fit together and match up?
Not perfect, but an excellent article overall. Easy to wear, very durable, with great mobility and very good eyesight. Super cute Lemonbrat style, soft, fluffy and just awesome to wear!


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
First contact was fast and clear. They gave me some links and explanations that helped me in every steps.


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Not entirely satisfied : It was probably my biggest issue with the company... Sometimes it takes them less than a day to respond to you and other times it took them three months to respond to my monthly mail asking for update.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Very nice people overall, but slightly disorganized. For instance : One person would tell me that "small" modifications on my head were almost finished and a month later I would get pictures asking me if the new teeth were the one I wanted so they could actually work on the jawset and finish the head.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
Not satisfied, in the order process, they speak about 1-2 month completion time when 75% is paid..
- 02 June 2017 : I've send 75% of the requiere payement.
- 08 Augustus 2017 : They've recieved all measurements and my DTD .
- 01 March 2018 : Got first pictures of completion
- 29 May 2018: Got final set of pictures of completion with modifications I asked for the head (2 missing black eyebrows, new set of front teeth).
We are speaking about a 8 months delay instead of a 2 months delay, which in my oppinion is very unprofessional.


Are you happy with the product you received?
Yes, the fursuit is perfect and I love it so much!


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
It was very hard for me to review Lemonbrat...

On one side, they make some outstanding quality fursuits with a very particular style (some may like it, some may not), and the artists working there are some of the nicest people I ever met. But on the other hand, they do not communicate well enough to be respected for business and if you are not extremely patient, like I am, you just might want to throw your computer screen at them.

They are very open to suggestions, and if you are not entirely satisfied with the product, they will gladly make everything in their power to make it right.

I can recommend their premade fursuits for sure, if those are anywhere close to custom made, they are very likely to be high quality products and you won't have to wait as long as I did to get mine.

If you still want a custom fursuit from Lemonbrat (which I do not recommend), be prepared for the worst. You'll get completely mad waiting for updates, but when you'll get it, you won't regret it!
