Deceptive & misleading representations of the products in their ads
This company is currently running ads on social media & Newsbreak app daily. First issue: They adverise a variety of quilted laundry baskets with applique designs, (with photos & detailed descriptions included, descriping the quality of the cotton material). I orderd 1 item. When my item arrived it was a completely different product. The basket was not QUILTED in any way, the material was a cheap canvas, not cotton, and the designs were screen printed onto the canvas NOT appliqued, as described/pictured in their ad. Their ad is deceptive & misleading. I notified them I was returning the product for a full refund within their designated 30 day refund policy & clearly stated my reasons for the return. I received an email stating they required pictures of the product I received in order to "confirm the problem”. Ehich I sent immediately to them.
Second issue: Three days later, I receidved an email, stating they found no quality or damage issuuesand if I were to return the product I would need to bear the return shipping costs of $20 USD& it may take a month to arrive. They suggested to save me time & money , I keep the item & donate it. In addition , they would offer me a 15% discount coupon for my next purchase. In other words, forfeit my purchase price & keep the defective item, and buy something else from them in the future. The website Return Policy does not mention any of this. In fact, it guarantees “If the goods received are not correct, the consuner is NOT required to pay the shipping fee”. I regected this offer. They now have come back stating, they will offer me 15% refund & I can keep the product I don’t want!
This has been an infuriating & exhausting episode over an item that was clearly falsely represented & is continuing to be falsely advertised to millions of people daily.
Throughout this entire episode, they suspiciously refused to supply a customer service phone contact number or return address. I am covinced their ploy is to wear customers down into submission & reap whatever benefits they can receive.
