Warning Buyers - Please Research Internet BEFORE buying Wedding Dresses

Original Post
I found this beautiful wedding dress (and many others) on this website: www.bridalweddingdresses.us/ball-gown-wedding-dresses/1032-sweethea... for $175
and then found someone selling those here as HANDMADE for more than 3 times the price $500. Our seller says she needs 3-4 weeks lead time, but is selling several gowns supposedly made to order. Seller also states that if they need alteration we are to take it to the dry cleaners or tailor.
How in the world does someone make something this elaborate in that short amount of time AND what if she has multiple orders at the same time? Answer: she RESELLS what she buys from offshore factories.
Bad enough people lie, but lying and praying on emotional items like this. pffffffft! What a racket!

Is this the same shop that's been closed before and reopened under different names? I remember reading about it on one of the blogs that cannot be named.

amyb - I do understand that part about alterations :) it's just that all of the things that I mentioned together in conjunction with the wedding site's dresses are made and shipped from another country do not make sense. Those are all very elaborate dresses. No location other than US is given, no mention about the other country.
It's a reseller issue and it ticks me off. grrrrr!

moment - No, I couldn't. It sometimes takes more than that. It's been reported by several people that I know of.
-----------------
so because someone else is bending the rules, you can too by calling out?
It only took me a few clicks to find the seller.
Have you tried to email an admin directly? Or have you just been flagging?
I know its frustrating but if you want the processes to work, they should be used.

That's right moment, some of us "bend the rules" in order to try to help protect others from making a costly, and very emotional in this case, mistake by spending lots of money with any seller who is BREAKING the rules and possibly guilty of false advertising thereby also breaking the law.
sheesh.
