Overpriced tech gadget
Overpriced tech gadget
ProductI was so pumped to buy this tech gadget from the company, but man, my experience was a total letdown. I got a confirmation email after placing my order, then bam, half an hour later, they tell me it's out of stock. It threw me for a loop because I needed a last-minute gift, especially since the holidays were right around the corner. It feels like they're cool keeping our money without giving us any info about what's actually available.
Misleading description
Misleading description
ProductThis thing I bought was such a waste of time and money. The description totally lied to me, and I wouldn't have bothered if I knew the truth. Now I gotta deal with the headache of returning it and crossing my fingers for a refund. But from what I've seen in other people's reviews, I'm not too hopeful.
Christmas gift purchase
Christmas gift purchase
ProductI ordered a Christmas gift from this place and when the package arrived, it was all torn up and crumpled. It seemed like a used gift, which was super disappointing. I reached out to customer service to see about exchanging it, but they said no. I was really annoyed and bummed out about the whole thing. For sure not shopping with this company again.
