Authenticity: Restocking Fee?

It’s time for you next tip to make sure that Prada or Fendi that you buy next online is real and not a bad knockoff copy! So what are the benfits of buying online? Of course, it is cheaper than if you went to a large department store like Neimen Marcus because of the lower costs. Notice the number of lights they have in Neimen Marcus! Those lights are on even on weekdays when tere aren’t more than a few customers in the store. Electricity bill must alone must be in the tens of thousands a month. Even when no customers, there are at least a few employees in each department, right?

So the benefit of buying online is that online stores like eDesignerShop does not have the high overhead that the store has. What’s the down side? You can’t see the item before you make the purchase. This is especially risky because “green” comes in thousands of shades and with a few pictures you might not be able to tell if it goes with that crimson top or that dark stone washed jeans. What’s worse there are a bunch of websites that want to charge you a restocking fee to return it! Not to mention the fact you already paid for shipping the item to you!

Why do they charge you a restocking fee? You just spent $300 dollars on a brand new Tod’s bag, but you don’t like it and they want to charge you 10-15% which comes out to $30 to $45 to put the item back into stock? We’re not talking about something heavy that will take a few people to put back! Bottom line, restocking fees are used by companies that experience a high return rate and this way even if you return the item, they make some money.

At eDesignerShop, we say NO to restocking fees! Once you receive your order, you will have a full 10 days to review the item. If for ANY reason you are not completely satisfied, simply have the return package post marked within those 10 days and there is absolutely no restocking fee. You do not need to contact anyone for any kind of numbers  either. Some people want you to email, or fill out a form to get an “RMA” or “Return Authorization”, etc. You don’t need to do that with eDesignerShop. We also offer free economy shipping to anywhere in the continental United States so you are not out the shipping charges.

Make sure there are no other details they are leaving out. Some companies advertise 15 day satisfation guarantees, but they count the time the package is in transit, so if takes 7 days to get to you, you only really have a day or two to look over the item because likely it will take 7 days to get the item back to them to meet the 15 days. Don’t be caught in the tricks!

To summerize, if the item is authentic and brand new, like you get at eDesignerShop, there is no reason to charge a restocking fee. Make sure the next Prada handbag you add to your collection is exactly what you want and shop with eDesignerShop. If it isn’t the right type of leather or shade of black you are looking for, we will be happy to take it back. If you do keep it, you are also covered by our warranty!

Care: Dust Bag for More Than Dust

Most handbags, including Prada handbags, Fendi handbags, Balenciaga handbags and so on come with a dust bag. For those that do not, we recommend you put them in a pillow case made out of natural fiber, like cotton. Why do they come with dust bags? The most obvious reason is for a place to store your item when it is “sleeping. This is where the dust bag gets it’s second name; sleeper bag.

Let’s face it, if you are reading this blog, you have more than one handbag. Let’s be honest, you probably have a collection of at least  five to ten, if not up in the hundreds of beautiful handbags! Sitting in the closet, uncovered, your valuable Prada Leather Limited Edition, or your Fendi Spy Bag is not only collecting dust, but the hardware, most likely made out of brass, is getting oxidized and discolored while not in use.

So please, for the sake of your expensive jewels, keep them in a dust bag, or cotton pillow case. Also, stuff your bag if you are planning on storing for more than a few weeks in order to hold it’s form and keep it from forming creases or wrinkles. If possible, try to stuff the items with plastics, like bubble wrap, since it is less likely to attract moths. The last thing you want to find after saving your Balenciaga Giant City  for a special occasion is a bag full of moth eggs!

Also, make sure the item is not stored in direct sunlight or extremely humid conditions. Like a fine wine, it may go up in value and be the envy of the designer world in a few years, but only if you take proper care of it.

Oh, just in case Balenciaga or Prada or any of the other brands forgot something, know that you are covered by eDesignerShop’s one year warranty in case anything goes wrong. You can see our warranty here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/310-Warranty.aspx

Authenticity: 1800-What???

At eDesignerShop we often get customers who call us letting us know they have been scammed by a site that popped up just long enough to take their money. The first question that our customer service reps usually ask is:

“Did you try to call them?”

One of the biggest warning signs that the Prada purse or the Fendi wallet you are about to buy is not authentic is if the “Contact Us” page of the particular website is missing any of the following crucial information:

1) Toll Free Phone Number. You should never have to pay a company to contact them, especially when you are about to spend hundreds of dollars with them. It’s the most basic of customer service to have a toll free number for customers to reach them. In case you were wondering, eDesignerShop’s toll free number is 888-498-1688.

2) Address for where they are located. Are they in the United States? Are they in Canada? Red flags should go up if they are located in China, where most of the knock off items are coming from. You should know where the company you are dealing with is based and ships from. How long before you get your items? In the case of eDesignerShop, we are both based and ship from the Silicon Valley in California. This means even when using Free Economy Shipping, your item will arrive to anywhere in the United States within 5-7 business days. Of course if you are in a hurry, express shipping is available.

3) Being a website, at the very least, anyone selling Balenciaga, Prada, or Fendi should at least have an email address. It would be almost impossible for a website to not have an email address to reach them by. However, you may want to try to email something to see if you get a response. A lot of the scammers never reply to their emails. In the case of eDesignerShop, you can email about a Tod’s handbag you are interested in, or check the inventory of that Leather Balenciaga City you want; we will get back to you within 24 business hours.

Basically any legitimate website should make it as easy as possible for you to contact them. Once you contact them, they should get back to you in a timely manner if they expect you to do business with them. So, before you buy that Prada Leather Handbag from a website you’re not familiar with, DOUBLE CHECK that you can contact them and they will get back to you. Making that phone call or waiting a day for the response email could save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

You can contact eDesignerShop from any of the ways found on our Contact Us Page: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/1-Contact-Us.aspx

COTM August: Green, All Shades, Forrest to Neon

So what is it about the color green? Green is found in many famous references, from “Green Eggs and Ham” to the myth about green M&M’s (this is a G rated blog, so if you don’t know about green M&M’s, you can google about it) and of course the good luck it brings all year round, not just St. Patricks Day. Of course every luxury designer from Prada to Fendi to Balenciaga uses SEVERAL shades of green.

Currently, the winner when it comes to shades of green on eDesignerShop is Balenciaga, with 3. Shades. Baby Green, Apple Green, and Green, which is a darker shade of green:

Balenciaga Green Bags

Balenciaga Green Bag on Katie HolmesIf you like green Balenciaga handbags, you aren’t the only one. Many celebrities are in love with Green Balenciaga handbags also! Here we see Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise with baby Suri matching and looking great with her green Balenciaga handbag. Although Tom and Katie are dressed in very basic black and white colors, green goes absolutely perfect with it!

You Can see all of Balenciaga’s Green bags here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=balenciaga%20green

kate_moss_mulberryHowever, if it comes to the largest number of green bags, Prada is by far the winner. eDesignerShop has almost 20 green items by Prada, which range from handbags to keychains. Kate Moss was recently spotted carrying a Green Prada Bag. The color goes well with her outfit. It stands out, but at the same time, it’s not too flashy.
