Tears & tears.

As a consignment shop lover and a bargain shopper (holla at your girl, TJ Maxx!), I'm using the same thrifty approach when it comes to planning my wedding. 

I bought a veil off Craigslist. Although I wasn't able to see it in person due to the distance, the seller reassured me it was in like-new condition. I paid her via PayPal & she shipped it to me.

I received it yesterday, but my excitement was short lived when I discovered several small tears and holes in the veil which naturally resulted in lots of tears.

I contacted the seller to let her know I was disappointed and am waiting to hear back. I know PayPal has a "resolution center" to assist with disputes, and if I need to I'll use it & hope for the best, but in the meantime I'm really upset. I can't believe someone would be so dishonest. Worst case scenario, I can probably cut the veil above the tears, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

    I'm really sorry to hear that, ElcaB! I hope the seller does the right thing and refunds your money. Take photos like you just took it out of the box so there's no question that it came that way. If she's dishonest enough to send you a torn veil, she probably won't make it right and you'll have to go to PayPal.

    That's awful. I'm glad you used PayPal because if the seller gives you a hard time, it is more likely to get resolved.

    That is awful, I'm so sorry.

    Ugh I hate dishonest people. They are the worst. But hey, veils can be fixed/replaced. It will be ok!

    What kind of veil are you looking for? I made my own for $5. It was chapel length drop veil with a plain cut edge, and it was super easy to make. I didn't even have a coupon.

    That really sucks about the craigslist one, though.

    I'm so sorry about your veil! How terrible. I once had to use the Paypal dispute feature myself and although it took quite a while, it was eventually fixed. Hopefully your issue won't go that far.

    That totally sucks! I hope you can get your money back. Craigslist can be so great but sometimes you do have dishonest lurkers on there!
