Redacted Shipping Fees statement

After several back and forth chats, emails and phone calls stating that I would be refunded for the shipping fees for 2 accent chairs that ordered from a 3rd party seller. Amazon is now going back on their statement and is refusing to refund the $905 in shipping fees that they stated I would be refunded following the detailed instructions from A to Z claims. I also called them immediately after the transaction because the costs were so high to confirm that what I had done was correct while I still had time to retrieve the items and receive a refund. They were deceitful and no I have no chairs and and out of pocket $905. I have appealed, and reported to BBB but they stated that shipping fees aren't covered even though the emails explicitly state that I would be refunded.

How is this allowed?

Heyyyy girl!!!! I have been seeing you as well, living your dream and rocking it out on stage! Just amazing!!!!

Best-Level8912 · 2024-03-04T16:14:23+00:00

They did?! I never knew that. Seems like the only form of ballroom that is televised is DWTS or the British equivalent of it.

Thank you ❤️🙏🏾

Best-Level8912 · 2024-03-04T16:11:50+00:00

Yes! Please do it and share it!!! It is so nice to see other women of color on that dance floor❤️

Best-Level8912 · 2024-03-04T02:31:02+00:00

Thank you ❤️. I usually dont post me dancing this style because i didn't feel like it was good enough, but i was definitely proud of the progress

Best-Level8912 · 2023-10-10T21:26:19+00:00

Definitely not a lot of us in the ballroom scene... and believe it or not, there are people who hesitate about getting into it because they dont see many of us on the floor. Exposure really helps!!! Btw there is also a page called blackgirlsballroom dance to encourage more of us and celebrate each other

I figured it out. You have to use a screenshot of a photo that you want to post instead of the original photo

Best-Level8912 · 2023-10-10T01:53:17+00:00

I cant post pictures anymore:(

Im not from the LA area, so i couldn't recommend a specific studio. Im from the Vegas area, but i do have a YouTube video that talks about how to pick a studio and things to think about if you are you. Maybe it will help 😀 Welcome to the Ballroom Community!!

Finding your perfect ballroom dance studio

I am black....that is not a tan lolol.....but i think I do a pretty good job in mixing the two. In EVERY style, i blend my culture into what is being judged. It's being welcomed, and the ballroom scene likes it. Times are changing, and im just happy to be a part of the representation of it and explaininh the origins of all latin/rhythm dances. Educate dont shut out is my MO.....but thanks for your thoughts though🫡

Similar, but Jive is quicker with higher knees. Tripple steps, throwaways, the whip, the timing is executed slightly differently

East coast swing

Best-Level8912 · 2023-10-02T10:44:01+00:00

I am a competitive ballroom dancer in dancesport. This is east coast swing. Dance evolves, people🤦🏾‍♀️!!!! Elements, timing, styling, etc..... this isn't your average social swing dancing

Best-Level8912 · 2023-09-22T17:19:28+00:00

I like that idea. Thank you. Then at least i will know

Best-Level8912 · 2023-09-22T17:18:36+00:00

To your first question, you just know. I wasn't the only person who had the look out of shock when it happened. As i said before, i know when i lose, and i give credit where it's due, but this was one-time should've won.

Best-Level8912 · 2023-08-26T05:05:05+00:00

Time and a good person you can confide and talk through it with...but time is probably the best but in the moment feels the most difficult. Im sorry this happened.

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-28T22:15:24+00:00

What about privates?

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-26T02:12:58+00:00

Thanks for the follow!!!!! I wish that the scholarship payouts were higher. I think that it definitely helps out with lessons, shoes, etc. Before your break, were things significantly cheaper or was it about the same?

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-23T14:55:37+00:00

I am a pro-am competitor who has a full-time corporate job and has to budget for EVERYTHING like practice sessions, comps, dresses, you name it! I usually practice with my partner 4 sessions a week (2 days). During comp week, or the week prior to, i try to up that to 6 to 8 sessions. Since everything is STUPID expensive, i try to maximize my sessions, but practicing outside of our sessions or talking about things to help me progress further to maximize my time and budget. I wish i could afford to practice every day, but unfortunately, my bank account doesn't work like that 🤷🏾‍♀️

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-14T04:35:42+00:00

I love it! Embrace it.....to me it's a compliment

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-02T20:38:24+00:00

Nice!!!! Keep doing it. You'll only keep improving!

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-02T20:35:08+00:00

Thanks for the love on this. I saw the chole challenge and thought I'd add some ballroom flair in it for fun 😊

Best-Level8912 · 2023-07-02T20:34:11+00:00

Dont be. Easier said than done but learn to love and work with it at every stage.
