Counterfeit Product

Bought 2 bras that didn’t match the product online. The sizing was all wrong according to their online sizing chart. Neither bra fit even though I order 2 different sizes. I follow all the proper procedures for returning and they said they were not accepting returns at the moment due to intimate apparel and their warehouse was undergoing maintenance. We emailed for a month as I bartered for a 50% refund, when they offered 20%. We finally settled on 30%. It also took a long time for shipment. The quality is flimsy and not what was expected.

Online Purchase

I am sharing my experience with Erth Labs because I believe other customers should be aware of what happened to me. I initially made what I understood to be a one-time purchase through Shopify. I did not knowingly sign up for a subscription, and I never provided Erth Labs with my credit card details. However, Erth Labs subsequently used my Apple Pay payment method to charge me again for what appears to have been a subscription. I also did not create an account with Erth Labs. When I attempted to access their customer portal to investigate and manage the issue, I was unable to log in because I received an API error. After the first unauthorised charge, I contacted Erth Labs to raise the issue. Rather than resolving the matter, I was told that the order had already been shipped and that there was nothing they could do. Despite me contacting them about the unauthorised transaction, I was subsequently charged a second time. This has been a very disappointing experience. My concern is not simply about the money, but about the fact that a payment method appears to have been reused for additional charges without my consent, followed by an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the issue directly with the company. I would strongly recommend that customers carefully check their orders and payment settings when purchasing from Erth Labs, particularly if they intend to make a one-time purchase. I am posting this review to document my experience and to encourage Erth Labs to provide a clear explanation of how the subscription was allegedly created, how my Apple Pay payment method was reused, and why the issue was not resolved after I contacted them following the first unauthorised charge.

Ordered two dresses - thought since they were advertised as "Nordstrom" they would be quality. The dresses were made of shoddy materials and looked cheap, I requested to return them. Got a reply from Emily (Pristime) support@pristimezendeskcomsaying that I needed to send pictures of all items received, a clear picture of the tracking number and a clear picture of the SKU number. I sent them. They then said that the cost of sending it back would be approximately $20 , but maybe I would like to donate the dresses and they would offer me 15% discount coupon, I replied I wanted a full refund and to send me an address to return the order. They replied with an offer of 10% refund and I could dispose of the product as I saw fit. I replied that I wanted a full refund and if I didn't get it, I would report the company to the Better Business Bureau and Department of Justice. They responded with an offer of 15% refund and 15% discount coupon. It seems obvious that they don't plan to refund at 100% or give me an address to return the merchandise.

Online Purchase - J&S Mobile Detailing

I found J&S Car Detailing through Groupon and went to the linked website for direct service. I called the company, scheduled a service, paid upfront, and received an invoice. The company no-called/no-showed twice with another time of cancelling the appt hours before. Each time, I had to reach out on the status of the service. After the third time of the service not being performed, I requested a refund. The owner acknowledged that a refund was owed and promised to send it "within 48 business hours", but the refund never arrived. When I continued to respectfully follow up after the first & second payment timeline passed, the conversation became hostile and the "owner" began cursing at me for pressing him. He then proceeded to ghost me & block my number with the refund still outstanding. I originally paid through Paypal, therefore I filed a refund through them in which they were able to recover the money. I understand that scheduling mistakes can happen, but repeatedly missing appointments, failing to provide the paid-for service, not issuing a promised refund, and responding unprofessionally to a customer are unacceptable. Based on my experience, I would like to report this company and strongly caution others about paying upfront and outright using this service.

They contacted my mother stating they were trying to reach me to sign papers. They also tried calling my father. They had personal information of mine. I called them and they were very rude and hostile and said “if you don’t pay we’ll see you in court soon!” They told me I had a debt for VIP Loans from 2015. When I asked for proof of debt, they stated they would not mail anything because they already had. They said if I paid I’d receive a letter of payment but it wouldn’t state how much was owed or how much was paid, just “paid in full.” When I questioned this they had no answers. They gave me a strict deadline of 48 hours to make the payment. When the payment wasn’t made, they again contacted my mother instead of me, being very rude and hostile.

I ordered a dress online through this company. They had a Facebook page and I went to their website. I did not receive the correct dress I ordered. I contacted them per email and explained the problem .They demanded a picture of the dress, which I provided. I also told them again the name of the dress I ordered, so they could compare what they sent and what I ordered. This whole thing started back in May,2026. They agreed to replace the incorrect dress with the correct dress. The replacement dress they sent was the exact same dress I received initially, so again incorrect dress. Again through emails I explained they sent the wrong dress as their replacement dress. Again I had to provide photos of both dresses, which I did. We communicated through a total of 28 emails, back and forth. After the replacement dress was again incorrect they assured me that the correct dress would be shipped to me. I never received another dress after my first replacement dress and when I contacted them to check the progress, they assured me they would check into it and send the dress. The latest contact I had from them was 08/09/2026 and in this email they said since they had already provided a replacement dress , they were finished and not going to send any more dresses and there would be no further compensation. So I have 2 identical dresses that are the dress I did not order and am out $49.00 for a product I have never received. Obviously the company is a fraud and doesn't care about fulfilling their obligation to deliver correct orders. There is no phone number or address listed on their website, all communication is via email.

Went on Facebook marketplace looking for a tractor, found one with what looked like a legitimate business. Spoke to the owner "Terry Workman" made plans to purchase a tractor two hours away. I asked specific details and the tractor seemed fine. Once I got there he insisted for liability reasons to load it himself, once I got home the trailer was full of oil. I called him, he refused a cash refund, but said I could swap it out for one that was more expensive and pay the difference. After I swapped the tractors and paid thousands more the second tractor had worse issues also. Mind you this is all me driving back and forth. Going back and forth with him. Then he was taking longer and longer to respond to my complaints. I had to get legal advice then I had to get paperwork drawn up also costing more and more money for something I couldn't use. The paperwork was threatening him to pay to fix the tractor or I was going to go forward with suing him. I had to bring the tractor to a local dealership for repairs that also cost thousands. After the main issues was fixed and I finally got the tractor back over three months of not being able to use what I purchased and needed, I continue to find more issues with the tractor. Additionally: None of the paperwork was properly filed nor notarized. He gave me a bill of sale at one price ($13,000) then on his paperwork he wrote a lower price ($1,000). When I started digging deeper into who this man was and his so called business I found he had many different businesses over time. He also is a preacher and is doing business out of the church parking lot. I read his reviews and took screenshots for proof this is not the first time he has scammed someone. He has done this many of time to many people. I even got someone else I know to message him on fb to buy the first tractor I brought back and he did message them with intention to sell it to them. This was the next day. He also went up on the price. This is against the law to sell something and not make the issues known especially when asked if any issues or history of issues have happened or present.
