Description

I was looking to purchase a sewing machine, and after a quick Google search I discovered a website appearing as Joann Fabrics, the well known craft and hobby store was going out of business which caused the massive discounts they were offering. I found a sewing machine that suited me and purchased it using my prepaid debit card. Within a couple days I received an email stating the order has shipped. From the time I ordered it to today December 12, 2025 it took 29.5 days to get from Shenzhen, China to show a status of delivered according to the tracking website provided in the shipped confirmation email. I have been home all day everyday for the past week and I never received the item I purchased despite the tracking information stating it was delivered. I am fairly certain that this website is being ran by someone taking advantage of the fact that Joann Fabrics are going out of business to develop a website mimicking the real Joann Fabrics to steal money from people. I could really use some help in figuring out how to be made whole from this ordeal.
