Fraudulent Business | False Advertising
Mitchell Barocio described on their website that their sandals were made entirely of 100% premium genuine leather. Their return policy is to return the items in their original packaging within 50 days, and they were based out of the United States (Houston, TX). I received my product in the mail today, and I am beyond disappointed. I received a pair of cheaply-made sandals that look like they came from the dollar store, made from fake leather, replete with cheap plastic-like foam soles. I immediately emailed their support email requesting a full refund & free shipping label, and an AI model instantly shot back an email saying they will offer me a 50% discount and let me keep the item, or just give me a full refund and provide me a return address. I said I do NOT want to keep the item, nor do I want a discount; I want a full refund and a return label. I then received a reply that said something to the effect of “unfortunately, the customer will have to be the one that pays for the shipping label because it has to ship back to our Canadian hub.” From my past experience with another fraudulent business, it costs anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 the price I paid for the item to ship it back to Canada! I’ve been duped, and this is absolutely unacceptable.
