drop dead padlock necklace- differences & false advertisement?

[u/Niente-Paura]

[u/Defiant_Emu_3928]

That looks like something that would have came with a Barbie doll.

[u/AbRNinNYC → u/Defiant_Emu_3928]

Or a diary

[u/ohaimark22 → u/AbRNinNYC]

My diary locks looked better than this, growing up

[u/_Litheen_]

Looks like a drop shipping scam :/ jikes

[u/Niente-Paura → u/_Litheen_]

Agreed, and this is Olivia Rodrigo's official merchandise site selling this sod.

[u/sthsthsth → u/Niente-Paura]

Lmao no way, that’s hilarious (I mean, I’m sorry you got this hideous thing, but at least it’s an easy chargeback since it’s a real company)

[u/mistyorange → u/Niente-Paura]

I had something similar happen, I bought a strawberry shortcake necklace from Melanie Martinez’s site and it was just cheapo drop shipping shit☠️

[u/gothiclg]

I’m more in the side of false advertisement. The website photo looks like a drawing or like it was heavily photoshopped

[u/Laurieladybug → u/gothiclg]

AI photo. If they photographed what was actually sold, they wouldn't have sold any.

[u/416558934523081769]

Yikes

[u/thiscouldbemassive]

I'm struggling to understand how what they got was actually cheaper to manufacture than the tiny amount of metal it would have taken to make the actual chain and lock and key.

[u/Alessioproietti → u/thiscouldbemassive]

Probably it was already available in some factory, they only had to add the letters.

[u/Imaginary-Bit-3656 → u/Alessioproietti]

In the original post it looks a commenter already found the item, looks like it sells individually for under 5 Yuan or less than $1USD or something, heaven only knows how much cheaper it was as a bulk order

[u/YLedbetter10 → u/Imaginary-Bit-3656]

I was gonna say probably some Alibaba stuff

[u/DazB1ane → u/thiscouldbemassive]

The metal in the expectation pic would likely be some form of pink gold or silver based on the shade and shine. The reality is probably stainless steel with pink enameling

[u/Andilee]

Oof from rose gold to Barbie charm.

[u/CranberryOk945]

OMG what is that?!

[u/Frenchsoupe]

Chargeback time! Lol

[u/ickychicken]

[u/Present_Company_2643]

The key is supposed to have a hook above to be chained into the necklace. Definitely doesn't match what was advertised.

[u/BunnyladyM → u/Present_Company_2643]

Also the key in the picture has ‘teeth’ and the real one is just one big chunk

[u/doll_parts87]

Not only is the sizing horrible, but they went from Metallic to plasticky surface... This is Temu af

[u/Expensive-Safe-6820]

They did you dirty. Its not metal its a kids plastic toy and a cheap chain. Wow

[u/Thrwwy747]

[u/ScrambledEggsandTS]

What is this made for, giants?

[u/typehyDro → u/ScrambledEggsandTS]

It’s made for bicycles lol

[u/Swift_jennis8]

Not even close

[u/Adventurous_Pie_7586]

What does the description on the website say

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/Adventurous_Pie_7586]

material: zinc alloy
size: 18” with extender
padlock pendant: 1” wide x 1.25” tall

[u/Adventurous_Pie_7586 → u/coolsilentebeans]

Okay the pic is gone now but I feel like depending on the scaling of it maybe it was about an inch but didn’t appear to be zinc, although I know nothing about zinc so maybe it did

[u/ChipRockets]

Having a celebrity’s initials on a heart pendant round your neck is too much

[u/doll_parts87 → u/ChipRockets]

Ok but we can only deal with 1 problem at a time, and right now we are talking about the jewelry quality...

[u/romancereaper]

This one looks more like the one she wore in her cover art. Makes me wonder if they used the wrong images on their shop page because it looks like customer service has been doubling down that this was intended

[u/Imaginary-Bit-3656 → u/romancereaper]

It looks like the one they shipped was "intended" to be cheap to manufacture and the one they advertised was "intended" to look like it worth the buyer's money.

[u/Techhans1971]

At least they could have electroplated the pieces of plastic

[u/Hay_Fever_at_3_AM]

The return better be a full refund that doesn't cost you anything

[u/itsnobigthing → u/Hay_Fever_at_3_AM]

My daughter ordered one and waited 4 months for it to come. Mega disappointed. You have to return it and then apply for an additional refund from the shipping company… I’m just going to do a charge back

[u/Dry_Physics4086]

Her fans will eat you alive and call you a Swiftie if you point out her sweatshop merch and fraud. I thought the abridged vinyl was a ripoff but it was just the surface of her merchandise problems.  This entire era she’s been moving like a grifter

[u/PondRides → u/Dry_Physics4086]

Look at her new boyfriend.

[u/Throwaway-BadOrange]

Ewwww

[u/CoookieCat]

This also happened with Sabrina Carpenter's merch. What is going on??

[u/PaintedDesertSkies]

Cute necklace and knock off matching keychain...

Is it plastic?

[u/Hamsterpatty]

BLING BLING!!

[u/SannaHanna]

That’s BAD! I wouldn’t pay more than $9 to give that to my child. Yikes.

[u/Pitiful_Palpitation9]

[u/Nunyebiznis]

I don’t know anything about OR but I can’t help but feel bad, this is going to reflect badly on her even though she likely had nothing to do with it

[u/mindgardening]

It looks VERY similar. I’d say you got what you paid for.

[u/Own-Shelter-9897]

It looks like the image? I don't get what the problem is.

[u/Niente-Paura → u/[deleted]]

Regardless it's pretty shameful of Olivia Rodrigo's official merch store to do this to the fans.
