Am Duped Twice

Learned my lesson not to order online from some unknown sellers after receiving low quality products. The first one was that led light which is motion sensitive. It is being placed on walls and when someone or anything passes it, it would automatically light up. But woe, it did not function as advertised! I was duped the second time when I ordered that "vision glasses" which according to their advertisement will provide easy access to a reading glass and a distance glass all in one by adjusting the lever on the sides for a clearer view. Was so excited about it, thinking it would be nice and at a cheap price of just more than $20 at buy one-take one basis. So I ordered it on cash on delivery basis. Woe upon opening the package, I was so down seeing the quality; it was like a plastic toy, and it can not be used because it does not function as advertised. My vision would be impaired if I use it! There is no provision on how to return the product! So it would add up to plastic garbage!

I'm soooo sorry to hear this. We have a saying here - buyer beware. Some things seem too good to be true. I hope you learned your lesson. That's why I rarely buy things online unless I know the company and there is free return shipping.

@DianneN thanks, I will be because I don't want to waste money on such garbage (will contribute to the pollution threat of the seas).

@acelawrites When I ordered something myself online it sucked. My technician helps me a lot and he orders certain things online for me and they are fine.

Maybe it depends on the territory; if the laws regarding online selling are strict, they might be so cautious about it.

I was lucky enough to have bought legit sims 2 games from Ebay. I was planning to buy aquarium stuff from lazada but I started having second thoughts.

My husband bought a bike from Lazada but it was good; maybe not all sellers are the same.

That is so sad!! Obviously the person selling these items know exactly what they are selling and they're glad that you don't! I couldn't live with myself if I did something like that!!

It is really so disgusting that I wanted just to forget about it, but it taught me a lesson.

That is such a shame. Mostly we've had good results from online shopping.

It happens to us because of poor quality regulations; such poor products/scammers can do their business unchecked.

There's no provision how I can send it back! Maybe that's a bogus company.

These are knockoffs of As Seen On TV products?

Maybe just an imitation of it; really fake products!

It is a lesson learned; too bad for other honest online sellers who might be affected.

Oh dear, that's very annoying. I haven't bought a lot online, but it's always been ok.

Because such things can go unpunished here! We suffer the consequences.

I used to order to those who offer cash on delivery basis; I had ordered a few things but they were of good quality; but lately, it became worst because I ordered from one that I saw on the net.

That is too bad, you have to be careful and then sometimes you still get ripped off.
