Now, the first thing you need to know is that those^^^ pictures are photoshopped. How do I know? Because at the manufacturers website (DaioShi) it shows this picture:
- Real_Photo.jpg (222.74 KiB) Viewed 8455 times
But no problem, I know these pics are used all over the net for this doll and the actual photos still show a nice doll...
I wait about 17 days for the doll to arrive which was a number of days later than it was supposed to arrive, but whatever. I open the box and this is what I get:
- Wrong_Doll_Sitting.jpg (259.09 KiB) Viewed 8455 times
So I contact Amiga Toy with this letter:
Me
You sent me the wrong doll! I feel like you played a bait and switch game, because what you sent me is obviously not what I ordered. It's not even close. I ordered a standing doll here: http://www.toy-stores-online.com/realis ... ng-p-1398/
But you sent me a sitting doll and it's a completely different doll from the one above: http://detail.1688.com/pic/1143958677.html
This is not what I ordered.
You need to either send me the doll I ordered by express mail so it arrives next week, or you need to refund my money in full. I had to wait 2 and a half weeks for this already only to be frustrated to open the package and find the completely wrong item.
Also, you wrote INFLATABLE DOLL on the package! So the mail carrier knew what it was!
You need to fix this situation before you go on holiday, or I'm going to leave a negative review here, tell everyone on the dollforum.com about it and then complain to Paypal to have your account penalized. You can't just bait and switch things on people and expect them to be okay with it. You have to be honest with your paying customers and give them what they paid for.
I can't believe you did this.
-------------------------------
Amiga Toy then asks me to send pictures of the doll, so I do, proving that they sent me the wrong doll.
It's important to note that when I ordered the doll, there was no option for "sitting or standing" like there is now, so obviously a customer is going to expect to get a standing doll since that's what's pictured, right? Well here is what Amiga Toy had to say about it (smh):
Amiga Toy:
"We are very sorry for this, We have check the warehouse of our shipping agent, there are only sitting posture of the doll, also you don't say need the doll in standing posture..."
----------------------------------------
Now I'm livid. This clown is placing the blame on ME for not saying something that didn't need to be said and was never my responsibility as a customer in the first place. That's a STANDING doll being shown on his site, so why in the hell would I expect to NOT get a STANDING doll??? Unreal. So I say:
Me
That is absurd. A customer does not have to tell you they "need" a standing doll. That's not the customer's responsibility. It's the responsibility of the seller to provide exactly what the seller is claiming to be selling. You're showing a standing doll and that's what you should be sending. If you don't have it then you should not be pretending to sell something you don't actually have.
1. The photos on your site show a standing doll, not a sitting doll, therefore your customer expects to get a standing doll. That is what your site claims to be selling and that is what you must provide. That is called honesty. When you give a customer something different than what you're showing you are not being honest with the customer.
2. This doll you sent me is not even the same model as the one you're showing on your site. Diaoshi does not make a sitting version of the exact doll you're claiming to be selling on your site, and I know this because I can see their dolls on their site. The doll you gave me is not even listed on your site.
Now you expect me to send this back and wait 3 weeks for a refund after I just waited 2.5 weeks and got the wrong doll? And you want ME to pay for the shipping too, right? This is insane. You've already inconvenienced me enough.
I am a reasonable person, but I do not take kindly to being tricked and then told it was my fault somehow. No, it's not my fault. I paid for an item and received something completely different. I did nothing wrong here. You need to come up with a better solution than that, otherwise I must do what I informed you of in the first email and it will not be good for business. I don't want to do it, but it appears that you're leaving me no choice.
------------------------------------
This scammer then continues to send other emails trying to rationalize his bait and switch game. For instance, he mentioned in one email that there is a photo there of the doll sitting, he even attaches the photo to the email, smh. But what he doesn't realize is that I have the transcript from a chat we had a few days before I bought the doll where I asked him how the doll was sitting like that and he told me it was just partially deflated but it is a standing doll.
By the end in other emails, this scam artist calls me a "robber" because I don't want to pay the expense of sending back a cheap item to China with no guarantee I'll get a refund of anything (how could I possibly trust them at this point anyway?). I then called him a LIAR (because that's what he is) for showing pictures of an item he doesn't have. I would be better off just selling the doll which is what I plan to do. It's a good doll, it's just not what I ordered. In fact, if I were to post the actual chat transcripts, you'd see that he lied about every single thing about the doll.
The reviews on their site are mostly fake because who would leave a good review for this doll if it arrives looking completely different than what's pictured? No one would of course, but sure enough if you read the reviews they're all positive. I know one person (Puma Uma I believe) bought a different doll from there and it worked out, but he was lucky. My guess is that they have some legit dolls and some they are just doing bait and switch with. Actually, I'm certain that this is what they're doing.
In short, STAY AWAY from Amiga Toy @ http://www.toy-stores-online.com/
P.S. I attempted to leave a review on their site, but surprise-surprise... they have it set up to where each review has to be approved by them before it can post, smh. Amiga Toy = Scammers to the end.
Howdy
