Description
I searched for a specific brand, size and color of Patagonia men's hiking pants, and Anunene.com came up with a physical location of 1716 Endeavor Drive, Williamsburg VA 23185-6239. I made the purchase and received a confirmation receipt then tracking info which showed that the point of sale was in China rather than Williamsburg. I attempted to track for several weeks, but was unable to and the package never arrived. I emailed the site and was first told to be patient. Still no package, I emailed again and was told to look around that it arrived, but it absolutely did not. I live off the beaten path and have for over 20 years and have never had a package lost or stolen. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and feel confident of a refund. I just want to make sure others aren't taken in.
