False Advertising & Painful Customer Service
Have ordered some converse shoes which are advertised as 21.5cm in length, arrived with 21.5cm on the box, also has 21.5cm stitched into the shoe label but the shoes are infact 25cm in length, far too big for my young daughter. Customer service has been long-winded, frustrating (to say the least) and ultimately unsuccessful in a fair outcome. I would suggest City Beach work on the thought "if we make it too hard, they'll give up".
Also, potentially doing something fraudulent with invoicing. I purchased this item as 50% off which is what is shown on my receipt, but internally they have recorded my entire sale as 19.6% discount rather than 50% off one item - another point of argument and frustration contributing to the lack of a resolution here.
