OK, so I put my order in.
Damn ripoffs! But what can you do? They have got you over a barrel when they are the only supplier.
It was the start of summer and you know what? I got some money now. I been working my butt off. I am going to get me some new threads.
There they were. My kinda shirts. My style, my colors, my everything. Perfect. I pick six of them out. Recheck the sizes. (Not gonna make that mistake again!) Put em in the cart and Whammo! How much?
Holy guacamole! Do I gotta start looking all over again? But these ones were perfect. Maybe they will last me a lifetime? Yep, they do have a good warranty on them. Alrighty then. You only live once. So the credit card gets slaughtered.
It was almost two months later when the delivery came. There was a knock on the door. Strange, the deliverer here never knocks. More knocking.
OK OK, I get up to see the drama. I shouldn't have to sign for a box of shirts, should I? Weird.
There on my doorstep are six Indian guys wearing my shirts!!!
What the? Law in India says you get everything that is shown in the ad for the price shown! That price includes the models!
What the heck am I supposed to do with a bunch of Indian fashion models? They don't know, they don't care. There are plenty more where they came from. No, they are not refundable under the warranty.
You don't want a spare fashion model do ya?
