What is UP with small-time sellers these days? Pretty livid right now. I just received a package I've been eagerly awaiting all week, from a smaller seller with 100% feedback. Their photos were good and well-lit, item description was on point. Tracking showed delivered today so I went to retrieve my package and...
The seller shipped in a used Little Debbie's box wrapped in a plastic shopping bag. They stuck the label on the bag and somehow USPS delivered this mess. I was hoping the items inside would be fine, but they're covered in cat hair and dust and one of the bottles is only 90% full even though the lot was described as "new."
What a disgusting way to send a package - I have a cat myself and now I'm grossed out about transferring some strange animal's germs onto her. I'm a seller myself and none of my items go out with a single cat hair on them. They're always neatly wrapped in new bubble wrap and sent out in a new poly bubble mailer or a clean box.
This isn't even the first time this has happened - the last time I purchased from a smaller seller, I received the item in a used Pringles can, covered in salt and crumbs. Seriously what is WRONG with sellers on here? I normally buy in several categories - clothing, books, cosmetics - and I've had bad experiences in all three when I buy from domestic sellers with smaller inventories. Most of the time what I get is either gross and unsanitary like this recent purchase, or it's merely adequate. The only times I've been happy with my purchases in the past couple years has been when I've bought from Korean or Japanese sellers - these items are sent boxed, new and neatly wrapped.
I'm just so sick of this happening with US sellers, and done buying anything domestically, new or used. With experiences like this it's NO WONDER the good buyers on here are leaving in droves and we're left with scammers and cheapskates with lowball offers.
