Not meant to be.

Yesterday, I posted about my meant to be new Poster. YAY!!

Today, I am sad to post about what was not meant to be. Boo.

With all the discount sites out there- Groupon, Bloomspot, LivingSocial, One King Lane, Joss & Main. There is one that I belong to that has stood out: HauteLook.

For me, they are up my alley both in style (home decor and clothes) and price. About a month ago I got REALLY excited about a chair sale through California Modern.

See chair:

Price: $99.

Holy Shit, I called Mr. Spice and he yelled, buy, buy, buy. He even told me to risk it and buy the Green one:

Buy the green one I did!! Shipping was a bit of a bear bring the total to $133. But really, such a deal.

Unfort, the chair itself was defective. It came in two pieces- top- green chair- and bottom- rocking metal portion. Well, the top part was missing a metal screw thingy (whatever that is).

Technically, we could have jerry-rigged it to make it work, but it was defective, and I was regretting the Green. One problem- it was listed as NON-REFUNDABLE!! Holy hot mess, I never buy non-refundable things!!

Great news- after a few emails back and forth, including pictures showing the defectiveness of the screwy thingy- HauteLook apologized for the defective item, and last week they sent UPS to pick it up for a full refund.

Sad that it wasn't meant to be, but I totally want to give HauteLook props for pretty good customer service!!

So click here: HauteLook if you want to join. This is a totally free advertisement, but I guess if you sign up through this link and then buy something, someday I might get something back.

Have you ever wanted an item so bad- and then had to return it???
