      Absolute scam of a website. It was so bad, I had to get ****** involved to get my money back. ****** even told me this "store" lied to them during the resolution case and it was one of the worst cases of fraud they have ever seen.The items you receive look NOTHING like they do on the website. They arrive looking horrible, as if they were tied to the back of a car and driven across gravel. It looked horrible. I immediately filed a case with ****** and got all my money back. You have a 10 day period to ask about orders. I emailed them 6 times and did not receive even one response from their "helpdesk" - it's a scam.Again, ****** literally told me they lied about their case and they should be ashamed. They tried to fake evidence, made false claims, etc. to win the case but ****** saw right through their shady actions. I have never interacted with a more shady online "store" in my life and I buy things online all the time.Can't wait for them to reply to this and try to make up some more false claims just like they did with ******. Luckily, like ******, we can all see through their lies.STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. **** WEBSITE.

      As you have 7 different orders from us prior to this purchase - all inclusive from the same print shops that you "have problems with" the print quality - it is not correct.

      You even said the day after purchase that you would be disputing the charges, all due to buyers remorse before items even shipped that were already in print production

      Also pretty sure that ****** would not give you a $800+ credit after you were refunded for the items that were still in production once your dispute was found in our favor due to buyers remorse.

      Also you tried to place 9 more orders with us yesterday - we had immediately cancelled them due to your social media and dispute history.

      The shirts have already been returned to you, cat hair and all that had sent to us trying to get a refund for items that were printed properly and by the same print shops you received items from before.

      If you have further issues, contact ****** as they found in our favor that buyers remorse is not something covered by us - or them.

      As we do not cover, and as ****** does not cover buyer remorse, you might want to see what you purchase before threatening refunds and posting negative reviews for incorrect customer purchasing.

      As the customer is now modifying other reviews to saw items were not sent etc.... 

      tracking and refund info is below as we are not spending any further time on this customers interactions as items have been returned and remaining items (that were still under 30 days from the original purchase) were not yet delivered. 

      if the customer has any further issues or questions they can contact ****** as they have already closed the case in our favor for the items that were not mispirinted and the customer said they would file a dispute within 24 hours from purchase as a buyers remorse purchase. 

       

      You ordered 38 shirts. 31 shirts were sent to you and delivered with the tracking numbers below - so yes you did receive items. 

      You also violated our terms and conditions that you agreed to the next day saying you were going to file a dispute because you couldn't make a shirt change or cancellation.

      **************************************************************************************
      Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 10:46 am on September 17, 2024 in *********, ** 08540.

      **************************************************************************************
      Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 1:33 pm on September 26, 2024 in *********, *********

      You state in this review that you did not receive any items, however your ****** case States: 
      "buyer reported that they weren't satisfied with the item or service they received"
      So again, you received ************************************* process under 30 days from purchase at the time of your dispute

      ****** required you to send the shirts back. 

      The shirts you returned to ** were worn, missing the original logo stickers, missing the hang tags for the Universal Monsters items and had pet hair all over them. 

      ****** does not support buyers remorse so as the case was found in our favor the shirts were sent back to you in the same pet hair pile that you had sent them to us once we took photos of each item to make sure it matches what is shown on the site. 

      Once this was found back in our favor you were also directly refunded for the remaining items that were not yet shipped to you minus the ****** dispute fee and reshipping fee and the cost to send the shirts back to you.

      This case was closed

      This kind of interaction from you is exactly why we have blocked your ****** account from interacting with us and we have also banned you from our website from purchasing from us in the future after trying to flood us with 9 purchases that were instantly voided yesterday. 

      Which is why you're posting today instead of 3 weeks ago because we've blocked your access from attempting this again. 

      Due to your continual posting, editing replies and also distorting that items were delivered, ****** found this in our favor and your items were returned, we will not have any further updates and will just wait for this review to get tossed for posting false information 

      You've received the shirts, you've received the refund. You're no longer taking up our time because you are trying to give us a black eye for fraudulent customer interactions for purchases we've filled.
