Life Perspective: Reviews & More

 I recently had a very bad experience with a clothing manufacturer whose ads all said the company was based in the United States. The promo posts told the story of a mom and pop operation who made all their unique clothes by hand but were closing their doors to spend time with their grandkids. I liked the pictures of the clothes, prefer dealing with US-based companies and was touched by their story, so I ordered a garment--a Van Gogh top. For the next several weeks I was strung along with "tracking reports" that indicated my purchase was slowly making its way across IRELAND. But wait! There's more!  Wait a minute. If this was a mom and pop operation where they made all the clothes by hand in the U.S., why was my package crawling across Ireland? I wrote the company--Continuety-- and asked. A representative replied that they had wawrehouses around the world. Huh? Mom and pop based in the US who make all the clothes by hand produce enough to have distribution centers around ...

~ BEWARE: Many companies advertising on social media claim to be mom-and-pop businesses in the U.S. but really ship poor-quality, mass-produced goods from Chinese Sweat Shops ~ List of Chinese Companies Selling the Same Mass-Produced Clothes & Claiming to be Based in the U.S. Continuety Revnuhalter Ellipticaly Elelandy Bozuc Pappaya  Arfym Hutyr Panrila Keppal Vivchic Vyjak Brezzey Continuety/Revnuhalter/Ellipticaly (and Many Others) Clothes a Con from China China is not just buying up farmland and politicians, they are conning us online. The latest con is the “Made in the USA” scam where a Chinese company will tell a fake story on social media about their American family’s small business. If you are gullible enough to buy it… and I was… TWICE… you will not be taken to a website that says it is based in the US, and shown great photos of a very nice looking product.  But when you order and pay for it, you won’t receive a real TRACKING NUMBER. No, you will receive weekly upd...

LEADOKO Women's Summer Gypsy Baggy Tunic Tops Shirt Long Sleeve Blouse Not As Described Summer is on its way, and I love working out in my garden, so I ordered the graceful gypsy tunic pictured above What I received was a disappointing small shirt that might have been made by gypsies, but it certainly is not a flowing gypsy tunic, nor does it have long sleeves.  According to the  LEADOKO listing on WalMart, a Medium tunic  is:  Tag size M : US Size:(6) -----Bust:(39.8") -----Sleeve:(23.5") -----Length:(28.3") I ordered a medium blouse, but what I received was a small or extra small blouse. I can't tell, because THERE IS NO SIZE TAG. There are also no washing instruction tag. The only tag in the shirt just tells you it is 100% polyester. The size is ridiculously small and the sleeves are 4 inches too short. This isn't a long-sleeve blouse -- it's a 3/4 sleeve at best. The quality is very poor. Not only does the top not fit, but there are strings hanging of...
