I asked my son to give me some gift ideas for Christmas. He found this phone case online, and had the impression it would fit any phone, and it basically alludes to that in the first bullet point under “Other Features”https://www.alumnihall.com/keysca/mississippi-state-iphone-15-pr-225085

Anyway, I figured no big deal since unbeknownst to him I’d gotten him an iPhone 15 for Christmas. Worst case scenario, I’d just send it back, right?

Well, a $35 case cost $50 after shipping ($13) and taxes. Of course, the case didn’t fit. And, their return policy is they’ll give you a UPS return label if you fill out their form. But, you don’t get refunded your shipping and they take a $5 restocking fee from your refund.

I paid $18 for a $35 case that I don’t even have anymore. I’d have been better off selling it on eBay. I get that shipping is costly, and all that…. especially for a small business. But, this is a PSA for those needing to ship any returns back to The Lodge this holiday season. You may be better off finding other options.

I'm pretty much done with buying direct from most brick and mortar store sites. I've always tried to buy from locals but damn they make it hard. I don't have it but with WalMart+ they actually come pick up your returns now. Amazon makes you take it back to UPS store but you just notify Wally World and they come get it from you. Living in a small town with limited sites makes it a no brained in most cases

What are you buying from Walmart that the Lodge hosed you on and wouldn't come to your doorstep to pick up?
