If you had purchased something 5 weeks ago and still hadn't heard one peep about the item would you think it was Covid related and have patience still or start a card dispute? I don't want to cause anyone stress during Covid. The person who I bought this from is on IG posting videos a lot however I would highly doubt they run the retail side of things. So I dunno.... I don't want to be impatient during Covid but I have honestly lost my enthusiasm for this product and am thinking of starting a card dispute. I attempted to contact them twice in 5 weeks with no response.

Dispute it especially if you have attempted contact twice and haven't received a response. I wouldn't hold a lot of stock in posting on social media as them being A
active. Depending on the platform most allow you to schedule posts. IMO even in a pandemic 5 weeks with no updates is excessive. Even if they're overwhelmed or behind on shipping sold items they could still have responded to you to let you know that they are behind. If they took the time to respond to your attempts of contact I'd probably be more lenient to the delayed shipping.

We went out for groceries (I'm high risk so I have to wait outside but the walk there and back gets me out of the house). I usually get DH to buy me a latte at the local coffee bar but there was a line up and he didn't want to wait. I was irrationally upset (in my head) because I wanted that damn latte and I couldn't go in and get it myself and I'm so tired of not being able to DO anything so I came home and bought a black Fendi Spy bag. :angel:

I disputed it. I agree if they would have simply said “we will get it you as soon as it’s safe or in July, August, Sept whatever. I would have been fine. But the lack of communication has sucked the fun out of the purchase. I honestly would rather spend the $ elsewhere. And I already have. :biggrin: I’m all about the impulse fun buys right now. Thanks.

My last bag purchase was back in December 2019, a Loewe puzzle bag in medium. My christmas gift to myself. Was able to make the most out of this bag purchase when we spent our Christmas holiday in the States and this became my essential travel bag.
But now, due to COVID and strict quarantine measures from where I live, there is no point using the bag for now. I still admire it from time to time, no regrets from this purchase at all. But this pandemic has shifted a lot of my perspective though of luxury purchases. Because of the uncertainty of the future due to this virus (lay offs, business closures) I would prioritize building up monetary security for now. I am thankful that I am still employed and working from home, but would take this blessing to really save up for an uncertain future.
