New Wardrobe For About $100!!!

I thought I would share this...a new customer just placed an order through my Fashions4Flirts website and pretty much got a whole new wardrobe for about $100. Most orders I get are from customers who buy one or two things so I really don't notice just how affordable the apparel on my site really is. My new customer has given me permission to share this information. Here is a list of the 11 items she bought and the totaling $107.74. Since her order was over $100 before S/H, I'm also sending her a free gift from the store promotion on the Fashions4Flirts website AND she gets 10% off the entire order because she is a new customer.

Wish I Didn't Get Involved With Pitney Bowes

Word of caution: if you are just starting to sell online and need an online shipping service, STAY AWAY FROM PITNEY BOWES!!! Here's why: In August 2008, I tried their trial offer to receive a mailstation2 meter for 2 months without having to pay. Pretty much as soon as I received it, I knew it wasn't for me. I quickly found that a lot of my customers wanted a tracking number when I mailed something out to them...and having delivery confirmation would benefit me too. I called PB and spoke to a nice lady who convinced me to keep the meter for the full 60 days just to make sure I really didn't need the service. Dumb me agreed to it. When time was up, I called again and spoke to another rep who wanted to extend my trial for another month. What was it going to harm? She sounded so sad, I agreed again. After I hung up, I immediately began to kick myself in the bottom for caving in. When the 3rd month was about to end, I called again. I knew I couldn't flake out this time. I was firm and the rep agreed to send a return box and label to me so I could send the meter back. The box and label showed up, I sent it back...I thought that was the end.

A couple of weeks later, I checked my debit card statement and found a pending charge of $43 and some change from PB. I called them and a rep told me she didn't know why I was charged. There was nothing on my account that showed any charge. The balance was at 0. It was clear the meter was returned before the 2nd trial and promised to give me a credit if the pending charge became an actual charge. A couple of days later, the charge went through. I called them back for a credit, which they said again I would receive. After a couple of weeks...no credit. I called my bank and they helped me settle it. They went to battle for me and treated as a fraudelent charge. I had a credit of $43 by the end of the next business day. That was around the end of November. Again, I thought that was the end.

Earlier this week, I got a bill through snail mail from PB for the amount of $43. I just chucked it into the trash. Then yesterday, I got a call on my cell phone and a message on my voicemail from a rep saying the $43 was from charges that accrued before I canceled the service. I wonder why it took them so long to send me a bill. This happened around Oct-Nov and it's almost the middle of April now.

I have no plans to pay this. They have not told me what the charges are for specifically. Even if they charged the monthly fee of $15.95...originally $17.95, but they gave me a better rate when they extended my trial...it still doesn't add up to $43. When they call again, I will try my best not to go off on them. I'll probably end up talking to a supervisor on this one.

The moral of the story is: do your research before you start a program or service. If I would have researched Pitney Bowes before I got involved with them, I would have seen the scores of unhappy customers that have had to deal with crappy customer service and unethical tactics. It's amazing how many stories I've found online that are so similiar to mine.

I use Paypal for the most part because it's easy and they do not charge a monthly fee. I also use Stamps.com for when I need to get a better international shipping rate. The monthly fee is $17.99 for the program I have, but I think it's worth it to be able to give shipping quotes and put international first class postage on my mail at home and not have to wait in long lines at the post office.

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on any of my posts.

Just put a couple of steaks in the oven so I have a few minutes to update the blog. I've gotten a lot more traffic to Fashions4Flirts Retail store since the new designer apparel items were uploaded. I'm still in the process of researching what all the items are selling for around the net and I'm currently adjusting prices to be more competitive. To tell you the truth, a lot of items I have listed are way below the prices I've seen them listed for on Ebay. For example, this Magaschoni sleeveless ruffled collar top has a tag price of $252.00. I saw it listed on Ebay for $101.00 by a fellow Ebay seller. I have mine listed for $75.00 plus free standard U.S. shipping. However, if you buy it from the actual Fashions4Flirts retail store, shipping is not free. Even with shipping included, it's still under $100.00 and if it's your first time ordering through the website, you get 10% off the total.

There is only ONE of these Magaschoni tops available...size Medium. So if you click on the pic and it's gone that means it has been sold. Don't worry. There are plenty of other hot items available. Just click on the designer brands tab and you'll see all that Fashions4Flirts has to offer.

I created a new Facebook page for Fashions4Flirts, so if you belong to FB and want to become a fan, click HERE. I plan to list any sales I have at the retail store, Ebay, Bonanzle, etc or I might put an exclusive coupon code that only fans have access to.

Well, it's time to check on my steaks, but I'll be back in a couple of days for more updates. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
