Some people, including mothers of twins, believe in emphasizing each child's individuality and deliberately don't dress their children in matching clothes. It also makes shopping much easier. This whole scenario wouldn't have happened to a woman who was willing to buy non-identical outfits. Not that the store behaved properly,that's a separate issue. Just saying that if OP hadn't been an akshan about identical outfits she wouldn't have had this particular problem.

She’s entitled to want to dress her kids however she likes. Maybe this was an outfit for two teenage cousins. Who cares.
I think this is what they call victim blaming.

Five whole pages of polite and relevant replies. But here amother Navy made it her business to make a disparaging comment about OP 🤷♀️
Smh some people are really unbelievable.

Don't agree. If the store sells matching clothes in different sizes, boy/girl sets etc then they are catering to those who want this!
I mean if you go to a grocery store for some sweet potatoes and come home to find regular potatoes, you'd want a refund, right? If you vent to a friend that the owner won't refund 'because it's our policy not to refund perishables once they leave our premises' and it was their delivery guys mistake, what du want her to ansa? 'Nu why du need sweet potatoes? Just chill, use reg potatoes..'? Methinks not.

Wow. No words.

I didn't post anything about how my kids dress, yet you decided that I'm "an akshen about identical outfits." Unbelievable.

Dispute the charge and send back the one item when you get your money reimbursed

I disagree. It's not ok and they should be held accountable. Especially when they were so nasty. Ugh!

My son was outgrowing his school pants. Someone recommended a certain type of pants from a frum children’s clothing store. It’s their own brand. I never tried it before. I looked online and found it. When I realized that I was paying a lot for shipping a pair of pants I decided to try the store itself. They have a few locations and there is one in my area. I called them first to make sure they have the pants. They did. The told me it’s cheaper to buy 2 pairs because the second one is half price. The person who answered the phone made it sound like it’s the last 2 pairs in his size. She said I could pay over the phone and she’ll put it aside. After I gave her my cc number she said that the pants will be in a bag hanging on a rack in the back of the store but I should go to the counter and someone will get it for me.
The next day I went to the store. There was a very long line at the register. I looked around to see if there was a salesperson on the floor who could get my bag since I paid already. No one. So I waited on line for 20 minutes. The person by the register told me I should just go to the back and take my bag.  I started searching through all the orders but my bag wasn’t there. I looked over and over again. I went back to the front and told them but they said if it’s not there then they don’t know. I paid for it! I begged them to look on the shelves behind the register. One girl looked for 2 seconds and said it’s not there. Another salesperson showed up just then and she looked too but didn’t find it. I told them it doesn’t make sense. I paid for it just yesterday. Finally the second salesperson moved some things to the side and there it was! No apologies from them!
When my son tried on the pants they were too tight for him. I went back to return it the next day. I waited in line for 1/2 hour!!! I placed the pants and receipt on the counter and was told- sorry, no returns on pants!! They said they tell everyone when they buy pants. NO ONE told me!!!!! I asked for store credit but they said the manager doesn’t let for pants. I told them that no one told me this and I would have never bought it before trying had I known.
So now I have 2 brand new pairs of pants. I’m furious with this store. Of course I will never shop there again. I think I will back charge. |
Definitely back charge. You spent almost an hour of your time for nothing!

dont think Iv seen that before.. a store with zero return policy |
I grew up in fashion retail business. My parents' stores had generous return policy. The exception was evening gowns. Unfortunately it was too common for women to buy, wear once with tag still on and hidden in dress, and then return.

Ok but you can give someone the option to return it same day before closing. And next day for store credit. It really doesn't have to be a zero return policy.

Yes, same day makes sense. But even next day for credit, sadly, too many take advantage. Wear, return, pick out next simcha dress.

So what was the item that was no good if you only had one? Genuinely curious.

It’s ok if you are against matching kids even twins but that is not what was the topic here.
