Total money lost $88.94
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I purchased the 20 set drawer type shoe box set for $88.94 from the website ColorfulSense. I had seen youtuber videos and saw advertisements on facebook and instagram. I went to the website and it appeared legitimate. The description of these boxes is: drop front doors to easily access your shoes even when units are stacked high, smooth experience, large enough to fit all shoe sizes, perfect details (committed to giving users a smooth experience). It was not clear at all during the viewing of the products or through the checkout process that this was an international business. It was not until I received the tracking number that I realized it was coming from China.
When I received the box, I immediately was reluctant as I purchased the 20 set and the box was on the small side.
I opened it up to find cheap flimsy plastic with a hard cover door. I knew before even putting one "shoe box" together that this item was not as described. When I put the one "shoe box" together, I grabbed a pair of shoes and it did not fit. I tried to lay the shoes down side ways and upright, either way they did not fit. The door sticks, so when I go to close it, you have to apply pressure which then makes the top of the box cave in. These boxes are a waste of money and time. I emailed the supplier and told them this was a scam and the item is not as described.
I want to prevent anyone else from being scammed and thinking this is a good purchase. It is a waste of money.
