good things don't come cheap

ever since i started collecting charms, i've come across so many sites online that sell them for less than half the price; so after considering for a very long time, i decided I had to satisfy my curiosity and ordered some. i couldn't wait for them to arrive, was pretty worried that i got conned and overly paranoid that the website was a scam but it finally arrive and.......


obviously too good to be true -_- they were cheap replicas and they looked terrible. from what i've bought before, thomas sabo charms come in round boxes. surprised i even received a box, the finishing was matte and not glossy and there were dents where you can tell that the glue weren't stuck properly. the charm was the worst, the back wheel didn't even have any holes in them!! and it was so badly painted that you can spot how odd it looks so no, it's not going to be dangling on my bracelet. i was kinda dissapointed coz i expected something decent; what was i thinking. D felt so bad for me that he offered to buy me a new charm *grin* well i've learnt my lesson - if you want to buy replicas make sure it's A grade! hahaha i'm kidding ....... make sure you buy the real thing.

  1. The replica looks hilarious. You should demand your money back though and if they used an image online, show them that that is the one you ordered, not the melted metal looking tricycle.

    Worst comes to worst, if you play Monopoly, you could always use it as an additional player.

  2. they didn't use that image - i took it off the thomas sabo web. the picture wasn't really clear and it didn't really cross my mind to look into detail.... and for what i paid, it's not really worth all the hassle. it's from HK la.. i should have figured.

    yes... never did think of using that for monopoly. not that i'll actually have so many players but at least my set will be cooler. hahaha
