- o***t (3419)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI certainly assume that the seller is fully aware of the situation they created and did nothing about it. The listing was for "pack of 6" 10 oz bottles. I received 2 bottles. I messaged seller several times regarding this shortage but GOT NO RESPONSE. I finally requested a return. I returned in same packaging plus extra padding. It needed it. I was fully refunded but seller left a comment that I only returned 2 of 6 items. Watch out for this seller.Reply from: nelagarments- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.One of the worst buyers I have had, I am glad to not do business with them anymore. Have blocked them from purchasing anymore units. Placed two separate orders and had "issues" with both orders in order to get a few free jars of cherries. Terrible experience.
