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.

Insoles come out every time I take the shoes off A few months ago, I saw an ad for some Noracora shoes, the  Women's Green Slide Hollow-Out Round Toe Casual Pu Sneakers Flats, to be exact. Because I clicked on it, the ad haunted my web visits from then on like ads do these days, and eventually I succumbed to temptation and bought them for  $27.68 . I am all about trying new products to review for my readers. I also spotted a pair of flats, the  Pi Clue Flat Heel Flats for  $7.21. At $8, what could go wrong? My total with shipping came to  $40.91. Thankfully, it wasn't a big investment, because both pairs of shoes were a HUGE disappointment. Not only that, but they took well over a month to get here. When I ordered the flats, unbeknownst to me, the website glitched and selected the default size-- the  smallest size,  probably around a size 4 US. I wear a 7 1/2, which is what I selected. As soon as I noticed, I wrote to Noracora, but they would only offe...
