There are so many listings like this one:
The listing is for SOLAR LIGHTS, the main photo is of the lights as shown in the above photo left bottom corner and the price is $2.19, but when you click on it the lights are $15 and the cheap item from the drop down menu is something totally different. And in this case, this weird piece of junk is the only item available from the listing; if you click on the drop down menu the lights are not available. It makes search pretty much useless. I keep reporting them, and checking the listings but nothing happens.
Together with so many items either not arriving at all, and replacements not showing up either, or if anything comes it is often damaged or was faulty to start with, I am finding I spend so much time getting refunds that I am starting to worry when will PP start to question me.
My latest disaster were these lights. I bought several about 4 years ago and they were great, but now are starting to fail, so I thought I better get replacements. Bought 3, only one works, the other 2 look like they went through fire or something and do not work properly. It took me a week to get my refund.
Believe me, they look worse in real life:
I find shopping in B&M stores too difficult now; unless I know exactly what I want, where to get and I can park right in the front, I just cannot do it. I have been buying all my clothes and presents on line, mainly from eBay, but I am really just over it now. I wonder if other people are finding it as unsatisfactory as I?
I have so far always got my money back; it's just so unpleasant having to argue with them, and when I buy something it is because I need it. But i also had disasters from sellers based in Australia. In the way, I prefer to just get a refund for useless items than replacement from local one. Few weeks back I bought a frying pan for my induction stove,which arrived with the base warped. I tried to see how it works and put some water in and put it on the element, it was so unstable that when I knocked the handle slightly the pan wobbled and splashed the water. They sent me replacement, which is only marginally better. So now I have 2 wobbly frying pans. Well, not really; the 1st one went into the rubbish. But I feel bad because the seller probably thinks I got a freebie.
There is no way I would given 2nd look to something like this if I saw it before I bought it:
Whenever possible I buy known brand names and if I was buying a fry pan would go for something like a Raco, Scanpan, Baccarat, Tefal without needing to go to the top of the range.
Even those ones that Aldi have from time to time are not bad. Croften is the name.
