OMFG. I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe.

I'd bet a sizable amount of money that this is actually about shop in wonderland (AKA Anime Matsuri's Lolita Store). Last time they posted a notice like this it was because an online shop was buying stock in shops, stocking their online shop and basically running an illegitimate AP shop.

So, long story short, it's basically been suspected that shop in wonderland was buying stock to resell in their shop.

AP lists all of their legit resellers on their website, even pop up shops and AP shanghai which hasn't even had a shopfront half the time it's been "open".

Along comes Shit in Wonderland, and they plaster the AP logo EVERYWHERE, but AP says absolutely nothing about them. No tweets. No grand opening part with Maki and Asuka. Nothing at all.

They opened their online shop this month, and I know a few people contacted AP Japan about it

It's long been speculated that they took the leftover stock from the AP shop at Anime Matsuri + and then bought a lot of clearance merchandise and marked it up and has been buying newer items as if they were customers and that is where their AP stock comes from.

Lor's video showed a rack of bracelets that confirms this; the tags are cut on them. AP cuts the tags when you buy clearance stuff so you can't return it for full price.

This is a Japanese-style passive-aggressive "Cut that shit out, we don't know you, we don't like you" type letter.
