Hello Kitty Smart LED...HORRIBLE RETURN POLICY/DREADFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES
I purchased the Hello Kitty Smart LED wall mirror from Impressions Vanity. The mounting squares in back are not built as one with the mirror's frame/body. They are placed on the back with some type of foamy adhesive labels, which failed on my over $300 mirror but luckily it was mounted over a desk and I was present when it began to slip downwards, so all was not lost because had it broken, yes, all would have been lost as I was told by their customer service. Apparently this is not covered as a manufacturer issue. The agent had the nerve to repeatedly state this as being a user issue as if I was there when these were getting built so I could have tossed that mounting design. Only the electrical is possibly covered after 24 hours, so this would have needed to have failed on me within 24 hours of having received it for them to take ownership of the issue. I would have to foot the bill for the return shipping because in their eyes the production of the mirror falls within the area of user error. Then the thing went on sale 11 days after I purchased it, not received it, purchased it (approximately $80 less). I know a lot of companies will honor the sale price if it is within 2wks-a month. It had to have gone on sale within 3 days of my having purchased it, despite the issue I encountered with their product. This is when I tried to work something out with the company due to the faulty craftmanship that I would keep the product and I would have no problem using a fail proof adhesive with the condition of the sale price being honored. This was refused and this was when the details to their return policy came to light in great detail. It was my mistake for not having given much thought on reading their policy because I consider certain stores with real stringent policies as worst case scenario but now there is a new bar that has created a whole new awareness in me. In addition to this big hello kitty mirror I also purchased two led Hello Kitty Compacts, and only received one and am still currently trying to get this second situation resolved. I did make a very lengthy attempt to speak with a Manager, and then a Supervisor, but would you believe they were ALL out to lunch. I insisted on holding, but the agent stated that she did not think I was able to do that. And I was astonished when I had not received my callback by the end of their work day.
