So I haven't blogged in like two weeks for a lot of reasons. The first reason is because all of the choirs at my school participated in this huge, holiday extravaganza, winter choir concert. That took up a lot of my time along with finals coming up after this weekend. THE SECOND REASON ANGERS ME THE MOST. A few months ago I discovered this wholesale, Korean, online web-store called Sammydress. I know what you're thinking, why would I even bother with something that sounds so sketch (BELIEVE ME, I WAS ASKING MYSELF THE SAME THING). Everything on there "claimed" to be between five and ten dollars. There were a lot of other websites out there like Sammydress but the shipping was outrageous, ranging between 20-25 dollars because of its shipping location somewhere in Central Asia. I then stumbled across Sammydress.com which had a very different, but unique, shipping method. They ship their items based on the overall weight of the order. Part of me thought it was too good to be true at first (I later figured out it was), but I said to hell with it. So getting back to the second reason I hadn't been blogging, I was waiting to show you guys this dress I actually ordered from there grand totaling $17.46 (including shipping). Before I say anything else, I just want to show everyone how incredibly duped I was. I found this post on Yahoo! Answers, answering the question of if Sammydress is a legitimate website, and it completely sums up the overall foolery of this money-guzzling garbage disposal of a "web-store". If you don't want to read that novel of an answer, I can basically just tell you. Sammydress is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise. The reason it looks so legit is because they have all the information that skeptic buyers want to see (including myself). Below is a screenshot of the bottom of their website where it can tell you all sorts of "legitimate" company information. Also, the icons at the bottom suggest to the buyer that they have different means of shipping and payment (which they DO NOT because they will simply take your money and sometimes won't even bother to supply you with a fake). Besides getting mad and contacting the organization itself, I've only decided to make this post as a helpful tool to keep everyone away from scams such as this. Hopefully this post was helpful to all of you and I'm sorry I've been M.I.A. for awhile (I won't be anymore ^-^).
