Description

On July 25th went onto Facebook and a Video was playing, Which had a lady telling you about these Set of 2 Illuminated Starry Night Glass Pumpkins by Valerie, that last year they sold out on QVC, you get two of them 1 big & 1 small, each one you put in batteries and use timer 6 hrs on & off don't wait click on shopping cart, that took you to the page that was adverstising it which was Boptional, sending you file with everything that I copy each time I order something online, you can go to there Facebook Page Boptional and see the video they show..After that comes up with information when they will arrive July 25-July 28 and ships from Heidelberg, Mississippi US, 100% 90 days money back guarantee, So I ordered me a Set of 2 Illuminated Starry Night Glass Pumpkins by Valerie for a total of $35.68.. then I kept checking the tracking link hub for my package with information , I then noticed that it said Hasselt 3500 Belgium on july 25 , after checking weekly, it seemed that on 8-21 it didn't go any further but said was still in Baltimore, so I sent email to Boptional at [email protected] and asked them why was taking so long and that nothing is matching up with what they had on page information where I ordered from.. Email came back and they said it was still there - and no updated so they were going to resend another set out to be ASAP, with new tracking number, and then 9-5 I received a box which was in mail box, opened it and inside was a plastic starry pumpkin and I was very mad & immediately sent them a email and asked what where they trying to pull a plastic pumpkin was in box let alone in my mail back, I don't think so, and kept sending them emails with everything I am sending you in the pictures, I told them about there guarantee and that I expect either my product or a refund, then looking back at the hub page they changed it and said that tracking number of #10752842446511700806 was now delivered but it was this tracking number #JSEHX1944316741YQ, which was there second box . Which I also included in the photo's to show tracking number and address was shipped from which is from Gehers Hotys 3659 S Ashland Ave Chicago IL 60609.. I also reported them on Facebook for counterfeit and scamming people.. Please check all pictures I have in the file, I hope you get everything.. I at this point just want a refund...
