I thought that I was more forgiving on condition when it's a realllllllllly good deal or an inexpensive item... UNTIL I bought a cheap pair of "brand new" pumps for maybe $20 (nothing exciting but they were a good platform/heel height combination with rubber soles so non-slip and perfect for all day wear without feeling mangled at the end of the day). When they arrived, they were covered in scuffs--both shoes, at least one on every side. Found out that I actually wasn't as forgiving as I thought when it's a cheap item!
They weren't horrible horrible scuffs but definitely noticeable even when worn, without even looking specifically for marks, so I felt tricked! I told the seller that I understand that the shoes were never worn and therefore technically brand new, but most people assume brand new means undamaged so she should have disclosed that.
She got really mad at me saying there was no way they were any marks before she shipped them--but c'mon! Did she really think they magically ended up like that in transit? Did my little senior citizen Asian mailman wear them around on his route and then re-pack them to give them to me, without breaking any of the seals on the package? Or completely re-package them so I'd never know and blame the seller??! I'm sure he hates me enough for all the shoes I order and he ends up delivering, but I don't think he and I share the same aesthetic! Lol [emoji38]
I didn't open a claim since she seemed the type to make me miserable and say nasty things on my closet. It wasn't worth it for $20 plus shipping refund. So I guess I feel ripped off when it's not what I expected regardless of whether it cost the equivalent of a pizza or the equivalent of a car payment! I'm just too lazy to deal with it unless it was the cost of a car payment haha! On the other hand, sometimes I get things that I know are gonna be damaged and I'm fine with the price, then when they arrive they aren't that bad and i actually feel pleased with getting a deal! I want more of THOSE experiences haha!
