I was branded a fraud for buying multiple items
Full time worker plus part time reseller here My bizzare experience in my 3 yrs of reselling Shop assistant suggested jolly tots item to me Never bought from them before I decided to give it a shot as it was grossly reduced First order was nice So I bought 2 more Only one was delivered Surprised I took pics and emailed them About next day I got a reply with a tracking number for the 2nd item I tried to track it the number wasn t recognized Emailed them again and got a reply with possible date of delivery It did arrive Box was very dirty and old looking I checked the year of manufacture it s 2021 I didn t mind the box and so my customer Well it turns out it s an older model as written on the chassis and it doesn t have the 2021 features We my customer I were able to settle with no cost to any of us so I didn t bother contacting jolly tots I have got pics of the box when it was delivered to me when it was delivered to my customer items pics and details of the dispute Afterwards I was doing price matching to other reliable distributor until I couldn t Reluctantly went back to purchase same item 4th and then another 5th just because my normal supplier doesn t have it in stock delivery was going to be late 4th item was marked shipped but tracking shows otherwise I wasn t bothered Then I got an email basically asking what I do with all the purchases I asked if that s a problem Then there were series of emails basically harassing me they went investigating me pulled a listing from a selling site and wrote that I m not selling for much profit which is strange with multiple question marks I was confused about the whole conversation I asked if they don t allow reselling or want to give me a discount so I can make more money since they have issues with my little profit Then came the accusation implying I must be a fraud as it doesn t make sense I m selling for not much more than I bought it Well they were right on the 5th item as I m selling it almost same price as them but I normally buy somewhere else for almost 100 less than I listed it Moreover I v got 37 5hrs wk job so I don t necessarily need to mark up price selling is to me what shopping is to some people Their talk about fraud made me think back to all my dealings with them The wrong tracking numbers the older model pram in a newer model box I m not sure they didn t just stick the label on it since they know so much about fraudulent activities I just told them to cancel my purchase as I don t trust what they are going to send There are numerous baby shops some well discounted than others I v only bought 5 items and got harassed Makes me appreciate the shops I have bought more than 20 items from that never snooped harassed or asked witl s questions Thanks for reading
