Item Not as Advertised – Photos on Site Do Not Match Product Received
I ordered a personalized metal deer skull rack from CustomBestGift and paid approximately $70 including shipping. The first three photos on their website clearly show a thick, rigid, solid metal rack capable of holding bows and firearms.
The product I actually received is shown in the attached photos. It is thin, flimsy sheet metal that bends easily by hand and is structurally incapable of safely holding the weight shown in their advertising. The material quality, thickness, and construction are completely different from what is advertised.
When I contacted customer service and provided photos and video, the company first offered a 5% refund to keep the item, then stated I could return it but must pay international return shipping, despite their own policy stating that customers are not responsible for return shipping when goods are “not correct.”
This is not a minor variation — it is clear misrepresentation. The website photos and the delivered product are materially different. Buyers should be cautious and review the attached photo comparison carefully before ordering.
Update: After my initial review, the company publicly responded stating that a refund would be issued. However, in private follow-up emails, they reversed that position and stated they would only offer a maximum 30% refund unless I paid international return shipping.
This directly contradicts their own published return policy, which states that customers are not responsible for return shipping when goods are “not correct.” The product I received is materially different from the item advertised, which I documented with side-by-side photos and video already provided to the seller.
Despite multiple attempts to resolve this professionally, the company has refused to honor its policy or its written representation of a refund. All correspondence and policy language are documented.
I am sharing this update so other buyers are aware of how refunds are actually handled when an item does not match the listing.
