****** - Verified Buyer
4.5
this review isn't so much about the product itself as it is the "shipper" (if I can call it that) and the manner in which it was delivered. But first the product. I'm not dissapointed in the bags; they are made of not heavy, yet servicable, canvas fabric which ought to be sufficient for storage of garments in a bedroom closet (I'm not sure if they would hold up very well traveling), with a miniscule (!) sliver of cedar wood taped inside the bag to ward off all the creepy winged creatures that might have an appetite for your woolens. In short, the bags seem fine and I may even buy a few more. Now to the "shipping". The tracking said these were to be delivered by some arcane outfit called "prestige". Ever heard of them? Nor had I. They must be cheaper than UPS, and I can see why. Only a handfull of days after I had ordered, anda full four days earlier than the estimate arrival date, the tracking info claimed that the bags had been "delivered" (this was on a Friday afternoon). Not bad, you say? Only trouble was that, contrary to the tracking claim, the bags HAD NOT been delivered. At least not to MY house and as it turned out, I suspect not to anyone else's house. I decided that I'd wait until Monday or Tuesday to start complaining about the situation ( I knew I'd have to get a charge back from the bank as Amazon refuses to seriously discuss such things with their customers, prefering that corporate "Oh, so sorry, nothing we can do about it, te he, it's your problem buddy" line. Maybe the delivery driver got fed up with making deliveries on Friday and just marked the package as "delivered" then went off to his neighborhood watering hole that night and tipped back a few cold ones. Maybe he'd be back on Monday or Tuesday and get it right this time, or so I thought. Well, I wasn't too far off the mark. Today, Sunday afternoon, somebody comes tooling up our driveway in an old red car ( I didn't get a good look at him), apparently runs to the side door, throws the package between the doors and makes a hasty retreat again. Maybe he had more leftover Friday packages to deliver. Wow(!), this company is going places (as in Chapter 7?). But what really bugs me is Amazon. They actually hired these morons. It might not be so bad but they're using customers money to to do it! One more time like this and I'll go to a brick and mortar (if there are any left after the depression is over).
