Redkoda, so happy to hear you got some of your money back.

menopausalmama · Nov 11th, 2008, 08:01 PM

Glad you did get $$$ back....
restocking fees charged........I wonder how many sellers do that?

yep your right. everything else is fake unless its on ebay, but even there its not guaranteed

It's not just the re-stocking fees but sometimes, the scammers claim that they don't receive your bag when you send it back for a refund! It hasn't happened to me before but I heard from some people that these people are unscrupulous...

Actually, I bought something from Nordstrom once and had it shipped overseas to me. When it arrived, the package was crushed. Imagine a jewelry box crushed out of shape! I was so disappointed they didn't bother protecting the item. It was shipped out in a plastic shrink wrap envelope thingy with no padding whatsoever...

Sorry, a little off topic.

I mailed her the shipment and got confirmation of delivery, but still waiting for the refund on this purse...

As far as purse are concerned I go for Atlanta handbag store, which have quality stuff from all top brands, delivery is fast.

She paid me back my last refund (no restocking fees on this one), but I still lost out almost $400 on this transaction. She insists she is an honest person, but I don't see how an honest person could do this. I have sold items in the past, and when the customer was not happy, I not only refunded 100% of the price, but also covered shipping back. I hope nobody else gets duped by this site!

gro3602 · Nov 26th, 2008, 03:47 PM

Thanks for the update..........

Again, it's ILLEGAL to sell counterfeits, so just a suggestion to file charges against her!

Bumping this thread as I received an email from another victim asking for help.

I am a reseller from Australia and have bought numerous items wholesale through Angels and have never had an authenticity issue. The serial numbers have always checked out and their customer service has always been great. I only signed up to this forum to back up all the online stores against customers like the rest of you.

As for the domain name being too long so they must be fake......are you serious???? Do you know how hard it is to find a domain name these days that hasnt already been taken? This is why the names keep getting longer and longer. And so what if the website looks a litle cheap. Do you want to fork out the $5000 to have their homepage made nicely? Not to mention the rest of the website with many other pages and having all the products listed. As long as the products are cheaper than getting them at a retail store thats all that really matters. If you dont like shopping online....DONT DO IT!!!

For the lady that got her LV bag without a dust bag....grow up!!! You do realise that now you have done a charge back on your credit card, you have now got your bag for free. You should be thanking Angels for this not whinging about it on stupid forums. Come back when you have something legitimate to complain about. Next time...dont buy online. Go into a retail store and whinge to the poor girl behind the counter because its obviously her fault that bag was supplied without a dust bag.....come on!!! Do you people seriously think we deliberately send things out with something missing??? Like we have nothing better to do with our day.

Right... like http://www.angelsdistinctivediscount...t/BurTote-IT-0 and http://interesthing.com/bbl02.htm don't scream scam!

Steal pics and just change the description to MINT and off you go!

Why would any consignment store in the US buys a bag from Spore consignment store? For a start, it ain't cheaper there in Singapore...!

Hey thanks missb!!

redkoda · Dec 16th, 2008, 08:55 PM

Hello,

Just an update - wanted to let you know that Stellar contacted me because of the posts on this forum and wanted to let you know that she ended up refunding me the restocking fees.

She is a reasonable person to work with!

designerdesire · Dec 17th, 2008, 02:47 AM

If you call deliberately selling fakes to many customers and then giving money back to avoid (even more) scrutiny reasonable, then I guess she is!

I think the general population would be much less likely to purchase a fake if they knew that companies like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany sell exclusively through their websites and boutiques.

If every small hole-in-the-wall website like this "distinctive discounts" (mainly because the product is distinctively fake) was able to secure some kind of account offering enough Louis Vuitton products to fill wholesale orders, then Louis Vuitton would have no value whatsoever!

Even companies like Fendi (which I believe is part of the LVMH group), which does sell product outside of its boutique, had a fit when TJ Maxx was selling its purses at a fraction of the price. Another example of this is when Rock & Republic was furious - and puzzled - as to how Costco got a bunch of their jeans for resale.

Compound that with a product like Louis Vuitton, which NEVER goes on sale, and you get an idea of just how exclusive accounts with them are!
