Description

Lialys hairpins are all over YouTube as ads. It is not clear on their website that the company is in France. I bought them and was not happy with the quality. They are plastic and much shorter than anticipated. They did not work. The same day that I got them, I contacted the company and asked for a refund per their return policy on their website: "We are confident in the quality of our products, which is why we offer a satisfaction guarantee. You can return the product within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, subject to our return conditions." What it does not state is what I was told in an email: I completely understand your concerns with the hairpins, and I genuinely want to find the best solution for you. Since our return center is based in France, returning the hairpins would involve international shipping costs on your end. To make things easier for our customers, we've developed an alternative approach: ?? Partial refund option: 50% back • You keep the hairpins • We process your refund immediately • You save on return shipping costs • No waiting time or shipping logistics to handle Full return option: • Complete 100% refund • You handle return shipping to France • Refund processed once we receive the package back The partial refund option was really designed to save you the hassle and expense of international shipping - but the choice is completely yours based on what feels right for your situation. Let me know which option works better for you, and I'll get it sorted right away. Best regards, Lialys Customer Care ?? Available Monday to Saturday ?? [email protected] ---It seems this is the scam: they do not disclose the actual return policy and rely on people not wanting the hassle of returning the product to FRANCE! Therefore, they "earn" half of every sale by default. Had I known that this was the real return policy, I would not have bought the product. Fortunately, I only lost $21 on a $42 purchase, but I am writing this review because others should know what is really going on with this product that is advertised all over YouTube.
