Online Purchase

I was looking for some clothing pieces to add to my teacher wardrobe and stumbled upon Sharon and Ellen Savannah’s webpage. The site appeared credible. They claimed to be two women who started a boutique in Savannah, Georgia. Their site boasted a 30 day money back guarantee and the clothing pieces looked high quality. On top of appearing high quality, they were expensive, but at the time, the boutique claimed to be running a sale. I purchased two jumpsuits for $44/each which was a significant mark down from the original price tag. Little to my knowledge, the clothing would not arrive to me for 1.5 months as they were shipped from a warehouse in China and NOT a boutique in Georgia. When I received the clothes, they were cheaply made. I tried them on and they did not fit properly. When I emailed to ask for a return, I was informed that I WOULD HAVE TO PAY the international return shipping fee and that I’d only get a full refund IF the product made it back to the warehouse and was processed there. My other option was to be given a PARTIAL REFUND of 15% of my purchase. Clearly, they do not honor a 30 day money back guarantee as their site suggests. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BOUTIQUE
