"Storm-proof" umbrella with a "one-year satisfaction guarantee"
I bought a reverse folding umbrella from this store, which was alleged to be "storm-proof". It came with a one-year satisfaction guarantee if the product malfunctioned or was not optimal. It seemed like the exact product I had been looking for, as I live in a city where the weather might be turbulent, especially during the latter times of the year.
I received the product now, during the spring/summer of 2020. Worked well; seemed to be sturdy and endurable. However, the one-click method was inconvenient, seeing as I would still have to fold the handle of the umbrella on my own. . . which required a certain amount of arm strength. Not an easy process, and even more inconvenient when the umbrella was already wet from my having walked in the rain.
Atop this, one of the screws came loose and disappeared after a mere a few uses of this umbrella (not even in harsh weather). This rendered the product wobbly and not optimal anymore. Hence, I sent a mail inquiring about a possible refund or replacement product. I received no reply. Some weeks later, I supplied another email with added photographic evidence. Still, no reply.
Went to visit the store, to see if I could acquire further information. . . and I was simply directly to the "shopify.com" site. I am unsure if this site still is accessible, but in my experience, this is not an eligible site to purchase from.
