Volmena Milano sends from China and has a U.S PO Box
I agree with the other reviewers. First I had to wait way longer than the advertised delivery time, I received an email twice to 'apologize' for the delay, both times it had an excuse. Eventually I received my goods. First of, the flip flops look NOTHING like some of the ones they advertise (update: actually they have added 1 picture of the flip flops they send, but it's obvious those types couldn't have any orthopedic qualities). What I have received is far from orthopedic too and even when using the size chart on their website, the size is way off ... on top of that I don't even know what size I got in the end because there was a sticker with 38 on the bag and a sticker with 39 on the flip-flops. Either way, they are too small. In addition to ordering flip flops I also ordered a dress, my gosh!!!! This is the poorest of the poorest quality! It looks nothing like the dress in the pictures, the textile used looks like it's left overs from recycled textile, it is completely see through, it is HORRIBLE! So I contacted the seller to exercise my right to return the goods withing 30 days. I got a reply quickly (got to give them that!) to let me know their return procedure (not outlined on their website and therefore in violation with EU consumer law): I have to pay for the return charges and the shipment needs to be sent to a U.S. PO Box address. If I don't want want to pay for return charges and return the goods they will offer me only a partial refund. What ????? This company calls itself "Volmena Milano" they have a website in Italian, their customer service is in Italian, they ship (according to their website from a European or Asian warehouse, guess where my package came from ... correct! China) and now all of a sudden totally out of the blue pops-up a U.S PO Box address for returns. This feels very much like a scam to discourage returns because it would cost me more than what I paid for these items. I contacted them again, requesting they provide me an address in Italy (or at the very least their European warehouse address) but they came back strong saying that they would not make any exceptions to their return procedure for anybody. So I filed a couple of complaints against this company: Garante della Privacy (because besides a few EU Commercial law violations they are also in violation with the data protection and GDPR regulations), the AGCM (for unfair commercial practices) and Shopify (for platform abuse - looking at their policies, they are just templates that haven't even been filled out as you just see text in [ ...] which is often done to put a quick website together that 'looks' proper as it has all the elements a professional company would have).
If anybody still doubts, then look at the claim of the 1000's and 1000's of positive reviews on Trustpilot (which I feel a little stupid about that I didn't spot it before ordering from them! but what's done is done), so I can only hope that my review helps others make a better decision than the one I made ordering from these people.
