Think I was scammed…

Hello! I purchased a rehome bag, seller sent a picture of the shipping label but never the actual package. It has been marked as delivered to my address by usps, but I did not receive it. The seller has deleted their account. Is there some sort of mail fraud people can do that I’m unaware of here? I paid via Zelle, I have the woman’s full name, her husband’s name, their address… I’m not really sure what to do here.

Do I need corrective lenses??

I swear this logo is not centered, seller keeps sending me more pictures and I keep saying it looks like the logo is off center. Please just say I’m crazy so I can GL this and move on with my life.

Quick QC Help

Item: Chanel Raffia Kelly
Seller: BaoBao
Price: $353
Factory: God

Concerns / Things to Check:

I received psp’s for this bag this morning and to me the raffia looks wonky in a few spots. Am I being overly picky? Is this just what rep raffia is like? BaoBao didn’t agree or disagree, but said she would send a video (haven’t received yet). In factory photos the weaving looks much cleaner.

My thoughts:

I’ve been waiting for this bag for weeks, so the impatient part of me just wants to say ship it, but if it looks horrible in person I know I won’t end up using it.

Miu Miu Reviu

Please don’t downvote me for my 🤓 pun.
Anyway! I will be honest and say I don’t know how I ended up ordering this bag. I think Darren must have been mentioned somewhere and I stumbled on his/her album? Who’s to say, but I messaged and asked to order this bag around the same time I was blindly ordering from like 3 other people. Rep bags were a brand new dopamine rush at the time.
I was pretty confident I was never going to receive this bag because he went radio silent for awhile, said the bag was sold out, then back he had it, then sent me a tracking number for the wrong address… all that to say it did arrive and it is so cute!
The leather is lovely and everything looks to be in the right place. The charms are a little noisy so I took them off when I wore it to church l, but otherwise they’re a fun addition.

Seller: Darren
Price: $376 (shipping included in price)
Ordered: April 13 (no psp’s I was so young and dumb last month)
Shipped: April 23
Arrived: May 1

Do you give sellers feedback?

Looking for advice on what to do, if anything, about some poor quality items I received today. I bought a Cartier Panthère watch ($198) and Bvlgari necklace ($70). The necklace is trash, the focal point is very obviously plastic, the clasp is impossible to use so even if it wasn’t embarrassing I can’t get the effing thing on. It’s also rose gold and I asked for gold (looked gold in the psp 🤷‍♀️). The watch is just flimsy and very cheap. These are what I would expect if I spent $10-30 on DHgate. So my question is, do I say anything to my seller? I don’t expect a refund, I know this isn’t Nordstrom, but is it worth it to let them know the product is crap. Or have a just learned a lesson the hard way to only order bags from these sellers?

Squeaky CC Question

Wondering if anyone has tips for getting Chanel straps to stop squeaking. My authentic 2.55 had the same problem when I first got it, and Chanel fixed it for me, so I’m assuming this is just a common problem with these types of straps. Thanks!

Has anyone purchased the silk blue P9 from Royal/birdcage, or anywhere? None of them look quite right in photos (the shade of blue is too light), but that could be lighting. If you have one and can share your opinion, please do! Authentic is pictured for reference.

Hello! I’d like to get my husband a watch for Father’s Day, but I cannot wrap my brain around all the ins and outs of what yall are talking about on here. I think an Explorer 36 is what I’d like to go with. He mostly wears an Apple Watch (😬), but does have a vintage Day Date that refuses to function. Anyway, I’d like to know if this is a good choice, and if so the exact factory and verbiage I should use when I reach out to a seller. Thanks for any help, please don’t be mean to me!

Hi! I’ve been chatting with some new sellers who say their items are highest top master quality etc., and I’ve noticed these two backgrounds in a couple of their albums. Just wondering if anyone has ordered from someone with these factory photos and how it turned out. Or if they have a special Reddit name already (I am new to this). Thanks!

Review: Small Chanel 25 in Denim

Factory: unknown

Seller: Mannco (WA: +86 18028068090)

Price Paid: $270 (shipping included)

Payment Method: PayPal

Shipping Timeline: 12 days

I am super happy with this bag! I ordered it before I found all of the reddit groups saying sellers recommended by influencers were a scam, so I found the seller via TikTok. I would say oops, but Mannco was so friendly and responsive, and my bag came so fast!

I compared everything about the bag to photos of the authentic and I think he did a great job. I'm assuming that denim is far more forgiving than leather. I also compared it to a 25 I ordered through DHG8 (which I used before I found TikTok influencers, before I found reddit, it's been a real journey this past month). The DHG one was leather, and honestly not that bad. The leather kind of sucks, but the details were right. Mannco's bag definitely feels well made and the interior is far better than the DHG bag. All of the hardware is substantial, non squeaky and the gold is a great shade.

About the seller:

Mannco was quick to respond and very friendly, I asked about several bags, but exercised enough self control to only get one before I knew his quality. I don't know what factory he sources from, but his prices are a bit lower than most of the reps I've found through reddit, so I'm guessing it's mid tier. He said it was the highest quality, but I think they all say that.

The bag arrived very well protected and in a branded box, with plastic things on the corners to keep it from getting smooshed. I loved this, the saddest is when a bag arrives after it's long journey across the world squished and ugly.

Shipping:

It felt like forever, but apparently 12 days is basically overnight. Mannco said it arrived "too fast," so cute. I loved that shipping was included in the price, I've ordered like 6 other bags in the past three weeks and no one else has not charged for shipping, and no other bags have arrived yet.

Overall I'm super pleased with this bag! The price was lower than anyone else has quoted me for chanel, and the quality is great! Also happy with the seller even though I initially felt like an idiot ordering from an influencer recommendation.
