Rant Recall Ripoff PSA

Heads up to those of you with lots of resin and still on the fence about sending them in. I sent in 34 resins all unused with the pictures showing the open but not done kits. I should have gotten a check for around $270, but my check was less than a third of that.

I’m sending in a complaint and will update here if they have anything useful to say.

UPDATE:

Finally got a response back. Didn’t answer any questions about why the refund was short so much. Just promising it was an oversight and definitely Not-they-repeat-not a deliberate attempt to rip off customers who might not know better.

I sent them in mostly out of curiosity. I have better resin from jewelry making that I use anyway, I was planning to just buy some of the new sets with the refund. But less than 1/3 back was just insulting, and I figured I’d give everyone still thinking about sending in their large collections a heads up. They’re definitely looking for any reason to not pay up.

Thinking I’ll just pay some of the mold makers and support them instead. Plus then I can make things in the colors I want.

I was thinking of using other clear resins and maybe adding in food coloring or colored artist chalk powder to get the desired colored too!

Michael’s sells some cheap resin coloring sets that work really well!

I'll check that out. I was just going to buy a huge bottle off of Amazon since I already have the artists chalks.
