Good morning/afertoon everybody!

Today I'm going to tell you about a bad experience buying in an online store: reprodart.com.

I'm doing works at home, renovations, and I thought about buying a painting for a wall, the typical print of a painting of a famous painter.

I saw several stores, and I bought it there. It's a German store specialized in this kind of products, and they ship to many countries. They are not the cheapest, but I assumed they seemed to be good in the business.

The result was that instead of sending me the print of the famous painting I paid for, they sent me the print of a bad childish imitation. So bad, that just by taking a little bit of the painting out of the box I could see that it was not the same one.

They had changed colors, location of elements, size of shapes, many things. And they had even added brushstrokes and other contributions from the imitator. Terrible.

Maybe in order not to pay for the license of the printing of the original painting. Who knows.

And when I contacted them, they refused to assume the mistake. Nothing to do. I sent them a comparison of the original painting, detailed in the invoice, and what they had sent me, with dozens of differences, but it didn't matter.

The trick they did is to put the name of a famous painting, and in the image put the image of the imitator painting. If you don't look closely, even with zoom, you don't notice it. And if you do notice, they give they show a text where they say that for technical reasons there are differences on the web, but that this will not affect the print.

In the end, after several times trying to solve it directly with them, I had to open a dispute with PayPal, and after a exchange of documentation, PayPal proved me right: I got my money back.

But beyond this, now I have to buy it in another store, and I still have a horrible big painting at home that I have to throw away. I don't want it around!

I understand that for them it's beneficial, but I will never understand people who are not serious about business. Being serious and reliable is the only way to survive in the long run. And it is a matter of principle.

IMHO: You dont.😄 Its a terrible movie. Indy is a perfect trilogy so you already own whats essential.

I agree. I actually saw it back when it came out. I was actually ok with it until they got to the jungle and it just turned into a silly CGI mess. I haven’t seen Dial of Destiny yet; if it were any good, then I would probably get Skull just to have a complete set.

Going to make myself watch DoD some time soon but I have a lot of other movies that I’d rather watch first. I expect to find Rosemary’s Baby in my mailbox when I get home today, for instance.

🤠 I’m thinking of ordering the Mission: Impossible series steelbooks (although I might not since I already own the 4Ks hmmm? 🤨) on Amazon Prime Day! 🤔

Is anyone getting them or do you already own them? 🧐
