It is a disgrace. I think that having a good grasp of your consumer rights when making such purchases is key. I am wondering if sometimes the refund policies of various vendors are actually in contradiction to the law of the state/country that they are operating from. I will have to look into this more. I know that there are regulations regarding distance/online selling in the UK, which companies often try to supersede with their own policies and their own policies are actually illegal/not valid.Vickyhttp://www.wigsandheadcovers.ning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-19653223990360862522010-11-21T08:37:41.241-08:002010-11-21T08:37:41.241-08:00Incidentally, after I had the conversation that Ch...Incidentally, after I had the conversation that Chani used to make this video I went straight to Milano. The staff I spoke with was literally rolling on the floor when I told them what had happened... Milano was very upfront with the fact that they were selling me processed hair (I purchased a pony sheitel) and I appreciated that they weren't trying to mislead me on the sheitel's quality.<br /><br />-- FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-84012166139851824192010-11-21T08:36:02.841-08:002010-11-21T08:36:02.841-08:00This is why I only purchase wigs from a sheitel ma...This is why I only purchase wigs from a sheitel macher that has a good return policy. I'd rather buy a lesser quality wig (say, Milano) and know that any problems that crop up in the first six months will be addressed with no questions asked, than a "steal" of a Freeda or Shevy from a no-name sheitel macher who won't help me if the piece is a dud.<br /><br />My personal favorites are the "You cannot have your money back. No-one gets their money back" lines. Where else on earth can you spend over $1,000 on a single item with absolutely no guarantee that your money will be refunded if the store sold you a piece of junk?<br /><br />-- FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-58146487887633941672010-11-20T11:50:33.216-08:002010-11-20T11:50:33.216-08:00And another one.....the vendor's comments:

What about returning bad quality wigs:<br /><br />C: "The wig is frizzy and matted, after only one washing."<br />V: "What on earth have you done to this poor wig?" <br />C: "I have washed and cared for it like you said, and like my other wigs that I bought elsewhere, and that are still in great condition."<br />V: "You must have treated it badly. Try some conditioner, that always helps."<br />C: "I tried conditioner, it doesn't help."<br />V: "Well, I can't do anything for you, but offer you a new piece in the same price range at a discount."<br />C: "I don't wish to buy from you again since I've been already out so much money."<br />V: "Returns and exchanges on HH aren't possible.
