Online Purchase - Photography Notes

An advertisement on Instagram advertised a free photography guide. Upon entering the advertised website, it shows a “free” product that was “originally $99.99,” but has many add-ons that do cost money (and similarly claim a discount) that will be added by default. A “digital processing fee” was applied, meaning the content was never truly free. For digital delivery, an access link was emailed. Whether any add-ons were selected or not did not seem to matter, as PDFs for every listed topic were provided under the link for only the original “free” offer. Quality varies tremendously between PDFs, indicating a neglectful production process. The website generally claims it has a money-back guarantee, but the actual refund policy does not apply to digital items.

Online Purchase - Zyllawear - Boot Barn Impostor

While scrolling short videos on YouTube, an advertisement for discount footwear was shown offering footwear for low discounted prices. I was and still need new boots for work, so I ordered two pair for $17.48 for the order and shipping on September 8th, 2025 with 2 to 3 day shipping shown on the order confirmation. A few days pass and I check the tracking history to see my order was being "shipped" from China, I thought it was odd. Then a few more days later my order left the airport of origin (China) and took four days to "arrive" at in Los Angeles, more odd, then a few days to clear customs, then several more days later my order went through several package logistics and sorting facilities before "arriving" at the last mile logistics facility in my town of residence, where the package was leaving the facility for about four days before being listed as delivered yesterday October 11th, 2025. No package was delivered. A full 33 days later, and $17.48 lost.

Online Purchase - Delivery

I kept seeing ads for this carpet powder that claims it make your home smell good. There were many videos of people who have purchased the product and were thrilled with it supposedly. I decided to place an order and purchased four bottles of different scents. It has now been almost a month since I placed that order and I have not received anything in the mail. When I check my email regarding the order, all it says is that the order has been received. It provides a tracking number. They are claiming to be legit yet when I try tracking my order using that number, it does not work. I decided to try to contact the company regarding my order. They do not provide a phone number to contact them with which usually is a red flag. I decided to Google the company name and found many people reporting that it was a scam and that they had money taken and no product was delivered. I am so mad specially because money is tight and $50 is a lot of it to lose. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Made an online purchase for a dress; cost $109.00. However, when it was delivered it was not what I expected. Quality was poor; fabric was cheap and seemed like a Halloween costume. Emailed the company using the address: [email protected]. The response I received was I would have to ship it back to China, which would cost me an additional $25 and they would offer me a 10% refund. There were several emails back-and-forth and their last offer was to refund me 40%. My final email and response included a threat to report them to the Better Business Bureau and write a negative review of their company. Their final response reiterated having to ship it back to China, which would cost $25 and to my surprise offered me no refund.
