[DISCUSSION] Kyoto Village is a scam


So I came across this ad in Facebook about a 75% off sale on all products because their "store" from the US is closing down. The items looks cool so my naive self bought an item from there (still hasn't arrived). As soon as I checked the tracking status (via tracking number), it showed that the item is from China. I rechecked the store's address and points to a building in US but no store front pic. That's when I realize how dumb I was.I emailed Kyoto Village to refund me since they basically lied about having a US-based store that is closing down (still waiting for a reply) but I checked their return policy and it showed that they do not allow returns on sale products = dead end.I saw a lot of people on Facebook interested in Kyoto Village but most of them does not know that the items are from China and it can be easily bought cheaper than the 75% off price by going to Alibaba or Taobao (Chinese equivalent to Ebay).I just want to warn everyone not to buy from there unless you don't care about the quality of the clothes.I don't mind if the quality isn't that good as long as it looks the same as advertised but the price is what annoys me. "used to be $100+, now only $40+!", when you can get it for $10-$20 dollars on those Chinese e-commerce sites.I don't know why Facebook allows such ads... via /r/streetwear https://ift.tt/2Oz5fnu
