You can look at this in a few ways.
This has NOTHING to do with expediency, it has to do with a bit of deception!
Last June-Flash sale-SONY VTC6-4/$20. A few days after I ordered them I said to myself,hmmm VTC6, $5 EACH? Seems to good to be true,UNLESS they are OLD STOCK! 12 Days later I got them and I was right.
BOD=6.22.2016. I received them 6.26.2017! A year OLD!
I suggested they should let their customers know that they are selling OLD STOCK for a flash sale or just in general.
They offered $5 refund. I said that is NOT acceptable,how about $10. They obliged.
I got VTC6 OLD STOCK FOR $2.50 each. That is not a bad deal, it is also NOT what I thought I was getting.
Oviously the average Joe would not have known and gone through the effort I did to get some kind of refund.
Positive: They reimbursed me
Negative: Was deceptive in selling OLD STOCK
Doubtful I would order again,because I would not know what I was getting.
CHEWY.COM. Where I get CAPO his food. Place is unbelievable. If something is less than 6 months fresh,free bag. Can dented, bag torn,FREE product.
No lie I just Got $130 worth of FREE food and another product! Dog food did not have a Velcro seal or Zip lock and expired in 5 months!
Gave me that bag FREE and replaced with another one, PLUS gave me money back for first bag and then gave me a FREE AIR TIGHT container for my Dog food!
NOW THAT IS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE,ONLY IN THE USA! Illumns and Liinwholesale are pretty close to that!
,Thanks for letting me ramble!
