It’s absolutely a scam. I brought one online, and waiting for more than a month. The size of seal I got is soooo tiny, much smaller than the one in the pic. Such waste of money 😤😤😤
DON’T TRUST THIS WEBSITE. Yesterday I saw an ad on Facebook for a discounted Finley the Seal plushie at a good price. The website looked pretty legit, same with the screen where you pay. Dumb me didn’t think to look it up until after purchasing one. I emailed the support that they gave on the confirmation email less that 10 minutes later, asking to cancel the order. On their Shipping and Returns page on the site, it states you have 12 hours to get a refund with no charge. They didn’t respond to my email until 6 HOURS LATER, asking why I wanted to refund. I told them (even though it shouldn’t matter, they don’t need to know that), and requested (again) for them to cancel my order immediately. 45 minutes later, they emailed saying they would “escalate my issue to their processing team.”. 1 and a half hours later, I get an email saying that my order is on its way. 1: That very unlikely that any real company can send something out that quickly, and 2: That’s the opposite of what I wanted! I email them again, addressing the confirmation email and reiterating that I wanted it canceled 8 HOURS AGO. Cut to today... about half an hour ago, I get an email from someone different from their (fake) company stating that I didn’t email them within the 12 hour period, so they can’t refund me. I have proof that my order and email to them were less than 10 minutes apart. I just emailed them and included the proof, but at this point, I’m expecting nothing from them, and will just dispute it at my bank and maybe close my card so they can’t access it again.It was clear from their grammar, customer service and site that they are scamming. First and last time buying anything from an ad, a good but frustrating lesson. So yeah, very fake. Don’t waste your money and time, and don’t let them have access to your card. BEWARE!
shucks I bought it thinking it was a good deal imma have to ask my bank as well to refund it if it never arrives
This honestly disappoints me more than the TekI Box scam
