Beware Buying on Ebay
Beware of listings on eBay, Light in the Box and other China Direct sites using
Designer pictures of gowns that are not the actual Designer
websites or a licensed vendor of the designer. We have found that there are many Direct from China sites
and eBay listings that claim to offer Designer gowns at discounted
prices - Light in the Box and other sites are even using some of our own pictures that we shoot
here in our Ohio location.
All you get when you purchase from these
sites is heartache. The gowns they send you, if they actually send
you a gown, are not actually what is shown in the picture (see
below). Light in the Box and other Direct from China websites are not governed by the same laws
that we are here in the United States. Rest assured when you
purchase from Romantic Gowns By Bridal Online Store, you are purchasing from a U.S.
company based out of Dayton, Ohio. We have representatives located
in our local distribution center 7-days a week. Romantic Gowns By Bridal Online Store
is U.S. owned and operated.
Recently, we have had many frantic brides call
us because they have been burned by buying
wedding dresses from designer magazine pictures
on eBay, Light in the Box and Direct from China Websites (SOMETIMES THEY DON'T EVEN GET THEIR DRESS!). This prompted us to purchase
3 gowns
from beautiful designer pictures listed on eBay, Light in the Box and another Direct from China site on our own.
-
We
bought 3 gowns, one from a seller based out of
China listed on eBay, one from a site called
Light in the Box, and one from another
Direct from China website.
-
All
were listed with bridal magazine pictures
only.
-
We
ordered all 3 in UK size 12.
-
Dresses came to us and look NOTHING like
what was pictured on the listings.
-
The
quality of the gowns is very bad – very
cheaply, poorly made.
-
We
tried to contact the sellers for refunds, and
they keep giving us the runaround.
-
We found that
Light in the Box and other Direct from China
websites are not governed by the same laws
that we are here in the United States and we
have no recourse to get our money back.
-
After
purchasing these gowns we were
charged $220.21 USD after the conversion
from British Pounds (£111.99 GBP including
shipping) for one of the dresses.
-
If you
have any questions about these claims please
feel free to email us at
info@romanticgowns.com
or call us at
1-866-MY GOWNS.
Please see the original
picture listings below
including the magazine pictures of the dresses
they claimed to be selling. Then look at the
pictures we took of the garments we received …
how would you feel upon opening the box to find
these dresses?
We have found that most
listings like these coming directly from China are using the old
bait-and-switch tactic. We are NOT like that. Romantic Gowns By Bridal Online Store
offers a Satisfaction Guarantee on all of
our gowns. What you see on Romantic Gowns By Bridal Online Store is what you get.
Don't get burned by buying something that may not be what is shown
when buying through eBay or Direct from China.
