点评:BUYERS BE AWARE!!! For Purchasing Antique Jewelry at People’s Store Lambertville New Jersey. You May Receive a Fake Piece at Authentic Price at Your Own Risk!
This is a store renting footage square space to each individual seller. According to the store, your purchasing result falls under each seller’s responsibility without getting the store involved. Just think about it is a flea market under a shared roof with a central register, that’s about it. What the seller marks on the price tag, whether it is an authentic or fake, it would be your own responsibility to identify.
I have purchased a vintage coral necklace marked on the price tag from People’s Store Lambertville at USD 300 a few years ago. Only after a few years (I have only worn it two times), and recently the outside paint had fallen off and revealed the inner plastic material. I went back to the store with original receipt for a reasonable refund, they said they are totally not responsible for 1) how do they know if this piece was purchased from their store, and argued that I should have taken a picture of the necklace and receipt together at time of purchase, 2) it has passed the returning period…. I do not find these arguments valid, because the store should have a record of what they have sold, and even if I have taken the picture, they can also easily say that the piece was not the original piece, so what is the point of taking a photo? Furthermore, the returning policy applies to real value product. By marking authentic description and authentic price on a fake jewelry violates buyer’s interest starting Day One. It does not change the fact that People’s Store is selling fake antiques.
It was very nice for the store manager, Evelyn Gordon to finally give me the individual seller’s contact information, and I have chased half of the money back, but still leaving the other half on my account for a punishment that I should not deserve to receive on this shopping experience. People’s Store did not participate to compensate a penny as they claim they are not responsible for the seller’s action even through the product is sold from their store.
A lesson learned! I will never shop at People’s Store ever again!
翻译:买家请注意!!!在新泽西州兰伯特维尔人民商店购买古董珠宝时。您可能会以正品价格收到假货,风险自负!
这是一家向每个卖家出租平方英尺空间的商店。据商店称,您的购买结果由每个卖家负责,商店不参与其中。想象一下,这是一个共用屋顶下的跳蚤市场,有一个中央收银台,就是这样。卖家在价格标签上标注的内容,无论是正品还是假货,您都有责任识别。
几年前,我在兰伯特维尔人民商店以 300 美元的价格购买了一条复古珊瑚项链。仅仅几年后(我只戴了两次),最近外面的油漆脱落了,露出了里面的塑料材料。我带着原始收据回到商店要求合理退款,他们说他们完全不负责:1)他们怎么知道这件首饰是从他们店里买的,并辩称我应该在购买时拍下项链和收据的照片,2)已经过了退货期限……我认为这些论点不成立,因为商店应该有他们卖过的商品的记录,即使我拍了照片,他们也可以很容易地说这件首饰不是原装的,那么拍照有什么意义呢?此外,退货政策适用于有真实价值的产品。在假珠宝上标注真实描述和真实价格从第一天起就侵犯了买家的利益。这并不能改变人民商店卖假古董的事实。
店长 Evelyn Gordon 终于给了我个人卖家的联系信息,真是太好了,我已经追回了一半的钱,但另一半仍然留在我的账户上,这是我在这次购物经历中不应该受到的惩罚。 People’s Store 没有参与赔偿,因为他们声称即使产品是从他们的商店出售的,他们也不对卖家的行为负责。
吸取教训!我再也不会在 People’s Store 购物了!
