This is my follow-up review on Blueblom.com. The blokes behind this scam operation are unknown BECAUSE you can't reach anyone via phone call ... nor does anyone ever respond to your email messages. I ended up with a pair of split-toed MaryJane shoes that looked nothing like what was shown in the photos on their site. Prior to the shipment turning up, I kept trying to reach Blueblom.com countless times to no avail after realizing that they were NOT operating in California. I advised my banking institution ... filed a Claim and initially received a “provisional” refund ... then the junk shoes were delivered by an unknown driver who just threw the shipment into our yard and quickly drove away.
The package came in a Yanwen (China shipper – not one from California) shipping bag with no return label nor a sale or return slip included inside the shoe box. When I opened the box, I felt like screaming ... the shoes were pure garbage and not worth half of what I paid for them. This was clearly fraud ... misrepresentation of product and location where they supposedly were being shipped from ... and customer neglect! Not one single reply was received from Blueblom.com; however, they had the bold audacity to contact the bank and advise them that they supplied me with the shoes ... of course, they didn't admit they were junk or the fact that all my emails to them were left unanswered!
Now, the bank decided to take the seller's side and is rescinding the refund. I proved with concise, truthful documentation sent to my bank that Blueblom.com is a fraudulent, dishonest entity ... but the bank apparently "bought into" their lies. I told the bank that there was no return label and/or a return slip ... plus the fact that Blueblom.com had failed to respond to my emails ... did not pick up on their phone lines ... had an incorrect area code for the State of California ... regardless of all the facts I pointed out in writing and emailed to them ... the bank stated that without returning the shoes, there goes my refund. I couldn't even file another Claim under "fraud" ... basically customers do not have rights when incidents like this happen because banking institutions want to "play it safe" and don't bother to look at the significant issues or facts "behind the scenes". It’s too risky for them … so none of us are even safe dealing with our own financial institutions these days.
I was screwed over here ... I'm more than pissed about it ... but I was honest EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I had even advised the bank upon receipt of the shoes the day they turned up ... stating the way they arrived and the actual item I received (in writing) vs. what was shown on Blueblom's site. Isn't it funny that Blueblom.com all of a sudden just "popped out of the woodwork" to communicate with my bank to get the money back after screwing me over like this? I pointed that fact out to my bank as well to no avail. This is EXACTLY WHY consumers are no longer safe buying online these days. Most of today's online sellers are either fraudsters or third-party junk dealers who sell and ship from Asian ports. You'll receive nothing other than grief ... a poor substitute for what you bought and paid for ... and the "slap in the face" from the very institutions which should have your back vs. aiding, abetting, and supporting fraudsters like Blueblom.com!
I was in the right here ... and I was wronged in the end! DO NOT ... I REPEAT ... DO NOT PURCHASE FROM BLUEBLOM.COM! Please read what other unhappy customers have reported ... don't just take my word for it because I'm definitely not their first and only victim … and after seeing what my bank pulled, I won’t be the last one either! This site looks “legit” when you come upon it … but don’t be fooled like I was! I’m usually pretty savvy, but these Schmucks fooled me … and that angers me even more because no one likes being conned! I lost today to a scam artist ... one day the devil himself will knock on their doors in return. "Karma" is a real thing! I have to keep reminding myself of that or I'd really start to lose it!
We should feel safe and secure when doing business online ... but we can no longer rely on what "appears legit" these days. Our own government agencies need to be held responsible for vetting and weeding out dishonest operations like Blueblom.com. Personal note to Blueblom.com (not that they give a hoot about what I think of them, but I’ll state it so that the “general public” will know what they’re really all about): “You're cheats and liars. I'd tell you where to stuff the money you blatantly stole from me with "gusto" and without conscience ... but I don't think my words would be printable or allowed on this site! You're "dirt eaters" ... that's all you are in the end! Time and “poetic justice” will one day come upon all of you behind your dirty operation!”
