Description

Saw an ad on I******** for this company - that they were sending out tank tops free of charge, just pay shipping. Ordered from the SHOP app so felt confident it was okay. Placed order on 06/03/25. Reached out on 06/13/25 for a status update and was told that they had run out of stock, but they were restocking and it should arrive no later than 06/20/25. Waited until 07/02/25 to reach out again to now be told that their “storefront had been unexpectedly shut down” causing them to “lose access to order and payment systems”. Claimed they were restocking again and offered to “reship” my order. Shop app shows that it never left “preparing shipment” phase and clicking on their business now says “products unavailable, visit shop website”. Their website was down last night but has resurfaced today with new items for $0 and the same “just pay shipping” jargon. I requested that the money be returned by PayPal or Venmo as I was tired of the runaround and didn’t feel it was right for me to go through extra trouble getting my money back when the error is not on my part. They continue to allege they have no access to order or payment systems and that it has to be requested from bank. Do NOT waste your time.
