Update: Empty Package NOT Empty....Duh😱

homedecor1 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 02:37:33 GMT

I feel like a total dummy! I received the package yesterday and believe me this envelope was filled to the top with packing peanuts....I dug thru them (didn't empty) and I didn't find any package.

Tonight, I figured no sense keeping the peanuts because I took pictures...I heard a "thump" drop on the counter....Omg it was this tiny little mini bottle of Inner Grace wrapped in some kind of white wrap.

Now, I'm mad at being so dumb ($27.99 + 2.00 = $31.99) for this mini bottle (.05 oz) of perfume which is basically a "travel size" which I bought in Ulta in another scent of philosphy for $18. I was so excited to find Inner Grace never gave much thought to the size🙄

Probably a few sprays it's going to be gone!!!!

😁

Thanks for for the responses to my original post! Have a great weekend

It happens. I thought I didn't get two bonus window cloths with my bio cleaner tsv, but they were there. I mistook them for a pamphlet since they were folded like a little book.

@homedecor1--Just a quick question. Is something marked as .5 the same as a .05? I'm only asking because the info on the left is marked at .5, and I would think that was ONE HALF of an OUNCE, but a .05 would be a whole lot less. Just like size in a diamond .5 would be 1/2 carat and a .05 would be 1/5th of a carat, real small------------tedEbear P.S Am not so good with numbers so maybe I am getting it wrong

Don't feel bad @homedecor1, we all make mistakes. That really IS a tiny size.

Don't feel bad, I once received a pair of earrings from Anthropologie in a 15" by 10" by 6" box

@tedEbear

.5 is larger than .05. (5/10 of an ounce versus 5/100 of an ounce)

the listing says .5, but the op mentions that she received .05.

@tedEbear

math is certainly not one of my best traits ... The bottles are the EXACT same size as shown. The bottle says .05 oz. (about 1/4 c. Of liquid). The Amazon description says .5 oz is why I thought it was equal to what I've bought before.

just annoying knowing how small the product amount is and how much I paid😤🙀

homedecor1 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 13:56:31 GMT

Well well this kinda sums it up: bottle on left .4 oz -- tiny bottle states .5 oz🙊! Yup I'm bad a math- lol!

Ugh. That's a big difference. Completely understand you being upset.

If the description says 0.5 or half an ounce (50% of an ounce), and they sent you a bottle that is 0.05 ounces, or 5% of an ounce, they misrepresented the product and should refund your money. They probably won't even make you return the minuscule bottle when you point out the typo.

That is really funny...good thing you didn't just toss or someone would have found a nice gift at the recycle plant.I think when they described that perfume on air they should have said purse size or travel size.

in THIS photo the larger bottle looks like it is 4 oz not .4 oz......the smaller bottle does look like it is .5 oz......which would be 1/8 of the size of the larger 4 oz. bottle.

Okay, I suppose the moral of the story is to know what you are buying before you a buy it and to look in the box before you (huh ????) assume the box is empty....lol Of course if you don't do those things, it's all Qvc's fault....lol

I need you to balance my checkbook!!! Your math skills are great...you are right the large bottle is 4 oz not .4oz!!!! Thanks 😄😄😄😄😋😋😋😋

I think the "moral" of the story is that the shipper wasted a lot of resources and the OP's money to ship something so small that it was lost in the packing. No wonder the OP was venting.
