Got scammed by Instagram store. Inframe: (tagthelabel)
I genuinely don’t know if I’m overreacting or if I just got completely scammed at this point 😭
So I found this dress from a store, but it was backless. Since I come from a conservative family, I specifically messaged them before placing the order asking if they could customize the back and make it modest/covered. They agreed and assured me it could be done.
I also clearly told them that I needed the dress by the 21st because it’s for my birthday. They said no problem, they’d customize it and deliver it on time.
Then the delays started.
On the 14th, I asked them if the dress was ready. They told me they’d ship it by the 16th. They didn’t.
They finally shipped it on the 19th. Literally ONE day before I needed it 😭 And on top of that, the courier company wasn’t even ready to deliver it, so I had to personally go collect it from the destination hub.
After all this stress, guess what I received?
The SAME backless dress. No customization. Nothing. And the quality is honestly so bad compared to what was shown.
Now I can’t even wear it because my parents would absolutely lose it if I wore something backless. I also can’t afford to buy another dress now because this already drained my budget. And the brand apparently has a “no refund policy.”
I’ve genuinely just been crying because it was supposed to be my birthday outfit and now I have nothing to wear 😭
