Hi everyone!
For anyone who has used a PS, do you find it a bit annoying when they fully open your package in order to post it to their socials? I've recently had this experience as I use a sourcing company and in turn, it seems they outsource personnel too. I was naïve and thought sourcing companies worked directly with SAs in order to buy and send out items
This is only my second time doing this so I'm still finding my footing, but man it's been an eye opener!
I knew right away upon opening my package that the stuffing was not store sanctioned. What is typically black wrapping with a large rectangular logo embossed sticker was now very thin white paper with a small white sticker. When I rummaged through the box more, I found a business card with the shoppers socials and when I looked at their IG, you can see my item being ripped opened. I mean I get it, you have a business that needs to grow and in order to do that you need a lot of videos of said items you're helping buy, but at least open it with care
I'm happy to at least have the original box, but I also enjoy that small experience of opening the inside packaging too lol.
I messaged the company and they tried to blow it off saying packaging varies around the world, which yeah sure that checks out for some brands, but there's also literal evidence that the inside material was switched out for my item.
My first experience with the company was great in terms of having a complete package. I had the original box with receipt and tags, completely unopened inside packaging. I also thought the tariffs were included in the final price for the first and second (most recent) items I purchased as I never received any additional fees from the shipping company but after looking at the two waybills again, I can see they underdeclared it by a crazy amount (180 euros v $5700 paid by me). That's bonkers to me! I mean at least ask before doing it
I paid them via transfer so I easily could have been SOL if the bag and accessories were lost.
I feel like I'm being dramatic about all this, but I don't know. Any and all opinions are appreciated!
