I wanted a pair of leg warmers- but not from a big box or chain store. I ordered a pair from Vermont Country Store- thinking... I don’t know, they’d be made in Vermont?! They arrived quickly, are cheap looking, and were made in China. What a joke. Admittedly, I should have done my research. But I feel cheated and lied to. These folks are just capitalists profiting off cheap overseas labor while selling us a “Vermont family-owned” story. They should be ashamed. Similarly, they dishonor and disrespect REAL Vermont manufacturers and artists. Disgusting, shallow, short-sighted. Lesson learned.

I've dealt with the Vermont Country Store for twenty-five years. Try to find a better place to order whatever it is you intended to buy from them. An item is taking a month to get to me. The travel history of the item through Fedex makes no sense. It was sent pre-sorted standard shipping Fedex/USPS. Transit time and the supposed journey back and forth to twenty cities is just not acceptable. Maybe USPS Priority Mail would have been better? I've already had to take extra steps to block catalogs and spam. This company has been very wasteful in the past, sending many unwanted catalogs. Their marketing can be very aggressive. In the past, they greatly overpriced multiple items. That may be better now? Some employees appear to be fine people. The selection of products at least used to be great. So they are schizophrenic; the old New England side of the company is one face, the predatory, unpredictable, hyper, greedy side that sent my sheet on a tour of the country is another. Their website was confusing and not user-friendly for me. I think several items shared the same item number? Too many clicks were needed to get to the info I wanted.
