  2. These people should be ashamed!!! I ordered a 10-speed mixer and I got a tiny necklace. When I sent them an email, they stated it was logistics problem due to the pandemic and that they would refund 30% of my order. I told them that was unacceptable, that I wanted my mixer or all the money that I paid for it. They provided me with an address in China to send the stupid necklace, that’s probably going to cost me more than $20 to mail. I’ll let you know if they refund my money or not. I AM SO MAD, I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
