Pinterest and their fraudulent advertisements
I ordered a garment featured on Pinterest from this company. It was described as a vintage linen embroidered patchwork tunic, and cost £27.99. When it arrived, a couple of weeks later, it bore scant relation to the photograph in the advertisement, and was a new, polyester, printed t-shirt that was worth pennies. I contacted Xiruilai and requested a full refund, as l had not received the item l ordered. The response came from a trader selling the products advertised on the site, offering me a 15% refund, or a complicated and expensive return process which would have left me paying for the postage on both outward and return journeys. I also contacted Pinterest, who said they would investigate, but the sponsored website is still running its ads for the garment and others like it. Other websites also show this range of clothing, which is identified as Purple Rose, so Xiruilai is only one of many vendors. I believe Pinterest is acting as unscrupulously as Xiruilai.com and those other websites misrepresenting their products, and would urge shoppers to check all vendors on Trustpilot before committing to a purchase.
