FML

Yesterday I got my package from Shade clothing I'd been waiting for. If you don't know, Shade is a clothing line like Downeast or modmod, they have cute basic stuff. Anyways they are going out of business and had a huge sale on their website so I ordered a few items. My package came with 2 of the 6 items I had ordered and a note that said they were out of the other items.
FYI-if you're out of the items, don't let peoples purchase order go through, or email them and let them know.
Well I was pissed. Not only because I didn't get the $11 jean skirt I had ordered, but also because my shipping cost more than the 2 undershirts I got.
I sent a nice email to the company asking them to refund my shipping costs because I wouldn't have purchased the 2 $3 shirts if I wasn't being shipped my other items. It's only worth paying shipping if you get several items, obviously, and I wouldn't have even ordered those shirts if I had to pay $7 shipping.
They emailed me back today and refunded me $1. So now my great deal $3 shirts basically cost $7 each. Thanks Shade, no wonder you're going out of business. FML.

Hey, I love reading your blog - you are so real and it's refreshing :) Anyway - did they seriously say they would refund you $1? I'm surprised they even took the time if they weren't willing to give it back to you, I totally agree with the statement "no wonder they are going out of business!" That sucks. I'm sorry!

That is stupid, sorry to hear. You should've come down sometime- they have a HUGE warehouse full of cheap stuff. I can't believe that only refunded you a dollar- so so stupid.
