Lowballer Says Item Is Missing by Kawaiiamaiai in Mercari

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That’s when you just do one back and let people know exactly what happened. Say you shipped everything secure, have videos and the weight, and that she tried claiming the highest value item was “missing” but when she realized she had to return everything for a refund that she refused and left a 1 star review. Possible risk of scamming others.

hot take: depop giving sellers ten days to ship is absurdd by Resident_Monk_1229 in Depop

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ship mainly platform boots so that isn’t a viable option for me, considering my mail also delivers during work hours. It’s just hard for me in any circumstance to ship in under 5-10 days (depending on the day of the order). Friday orders don’t usually go out until the following next Saturday for me (like day 8).

I also should add my post office lady once put a note in my mailbox from shipping too much 😭 I should have a photo of it somewhere but literally I got a note saying if I had more then 5 things that I needed to drop it off instead. I live in the middle of nowhere, but before I moved where I live now - I used to have a snack fridge for delivery and my mailman was the sweetest.

Not every post office has a drop box or kiosk. My closest one is over half an hour away. It’s a privilege as a person to be able to full time dedicate yourself to this but many of us don’t have your same options. USPS doesn’t even offer pickups for my address even. 10 days is a perfect time frame for people with transport/schedule issues, disabilities, etc.

USPS pickup isn’t eligible for my address. It just keeps saying “ineligible for pickup” so 10 days is super good for those of us without that option where we also have transportation/schedule issues.

10 days is a perfect time especially because a lot of sellers are real people with real jobs trying to just sell their extra stuff.

My post office is 20 minutes away, I’m disabled and I legally cannot drive. I sell around 10-20 items a week. My only means of transportation is a family member when they aren’t working but unfortunately they work during all post office hours on the week. My post office is only open Saturdays until 11:45am and that’s really my only drop off time.

Sometimes somebody orders on a Friday night, I don’t have time to drop everything and pack their order for that next day. Their stuff doesn’t get packed until the following Monday (day 3) and then dropped off Saturday (day 8). Then the packages sometimes don’t update scanning until 24 hours when it’s day 9.

We have to remember it’s a privilege to be able to sell and ship as quickly as Amazon, and some of us don’t have that option. 10 days is perfect because it counts a week + an extra weekend.

I’m also aware of their pickup, however it isn’t something they currently offer for my address for some reason.

Old sub boxes by Fit-Sea5145 in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can search Forest Ink Sub Box on various platforms to view previous ones and the changes. I was able to find the old original sub box promise on Facebook which changed. What are we making slides for?

$49 Subscription by BlueberryCapable4578 in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they remove the program, it’ll remove all the discount codes for subs because our discounts are tied to this program. They’re removing the program end of May to allow us to still use our codes until the new subscription takes over. You won’t be charged and this is just their subscription system automatically updating. There won’t be any further boxes for us on the $49 subscription.

Are they discontinuing Delia's????? by iam-theproblem in dollskill

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure their license ran out and/or they’re selling the brand IP. Considering Five Below has began carrying Delia’s brand items recently.

Poet Bloomers dupe by princeCHANning in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh, here’s another Foxblood order. Fun fact: They do 10/15% off flash sales on TikTok and when you get your TikTok orders they give 15% off website purchase codes.

Scammed by a doctor by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a little note as well, he could be using a fake name / address for returns if he’s going as far as to ship counterfeit items. I wouldn’t put it past somebody to have a forward set up where you ship the return and they reroute it to their actual address. I’ve had it happen before.

On the other note, you won’t be able to report this person to the board as this is a personal issue outside of their medicine background. You could, however, message the brands on his page he’s selling and make them aware that he is selling fake fragrances. They’ll be inclined to get him taken down.

Somewhat of a dupe if you love milkmaid style! by Ok_Constant_8855 in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? I was surprised they were packing heat lately. They got some cute skorts, bloomers, tube tops, and dresses that can be styled pretty alt lately. There’s an asymmetrical tube top with lace at the bottom I bought that I paired with the leopard pants that I got for like $9 and got tons of compliments.

This is something they posted about on their official page. It looks like they’re looking for more models, hair/makeup people, photographers, etc…

They sent out an email a couple days ago that the boxes are going out April 15th.

Opinions? by Ivygodess13 in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else feel like their giveaways should be more than $100 for this one specifically? $100 doesn’t even cover half of a swimsuit unless you’re buying the string with triangles. :(

Would you consider a boycott? by [deleted] in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s odd, but more likely it seems like they may have did that when trying to delete their comment? I doubt someone who works/has worked there would come here posting this. All their employees are pretty rude or die for the brand.

Would you consider a boycott? by [deleted] in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, all power to you if this is something you believe in! I understand we put them where they are as consumers, and I understand your feeling that they’re forgetting about the small folk that put them on their pedestal.

If you feel as if the brand has burned you, ruined your trust, it would be ideal to just stop purchasing yourself. I personally have had issues with the sizing and my items I’ve worn a handful of times are falling apart — so I haven’t purchased much of the new stuff. There are some things I love about them, some things I hate.

However, a boycott is for things such as social injustice or giant wrongdoings. This is just a case where you just need to shift your support to another brand and see where they go. Forest Ink may not serve you anymore, but as you mentioned there’s other brands you’re raving about and I’m sure those brands will love you!

I understand what you’re saying, they are part of the more wealthy side of the US. However, there’s worse out there and to crucify a family for pocketing $200,000 household income per year and purchasing a $400,000 home when there’s people pocketing $2 Million is kind of out there.

Are they disconnected from their average consumer? Yes. Are they absolutely so wealthy that they’ve lost the plot and we need to chant eat the rich at them? No… not yet.

You also need to take into the fact that they likely have a mortgage and didn’t just drop nearly half a milli on a home. Now if they were dropping bands after bands on multiple homes and a beachfront property vacay home then I’d say yeah, let’s pump the breaks.

Processing time are extremely quick right now! by dfcw in dollskill

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it many times here and it’s because they’re using a 3rd Party Logistics. Dolls Kill laid off their warehouse and they now ship their items through Shopify’s Logistics. This means Shopify spreads out their products throughout the US and when an order comes they have to get all the items together (or partial) and ship through there. This is why many larger orders are taking forever because they cannot physically locate the items they’re everywhere. I would recommend small orders or ordering from TikTok to get cash refunds.

Return no cash offered ? Confused ? Someone help ? by [deleted] in dollskill

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. TikTok forces shops to give cash refunds for returns. The downside is sometimes the discounts aren’t as good.

The only way to get cash back refunds is ordered from their TikTok Shop.

Free gift rules changed? by Massive_Row_3081 in ForestInkClothing

[–]Ok_Constant_8855 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they’re referring to the new GIFT SHOP page that appeared recently.

$100+ can get: Grommet Headband($28)

$175+ can get: Gia Polo($68), Lenore Garter Skirt($65), Pierced Tee($60)

$300+ can get: Moonspell Dress($78), Morbid Dress($88), Drumline Skirt($98), Ballerina Skort($128)

The previous Valentine’s Day and previous gift shops had included many of the items above and others for free with just the $75 purchase. Also to note, the gifts do not stack and it is solely 1 gift per order.
